I had a water softener at my previous house, where we had sewer service. It was great.
We moved to a house with a septic tank not long ago, and I've been wondering what the implications are of having the water softener discharge the rinse water into the septic tank.
Good, bad, indifferent?
In case it matters, we're a family of two adults, two kids, and the septic tank holds 1500 gallons. The leach field seems to be in good shape, it was installed in 2002. The tank was pumped in late 2005, when we bought the house.
Thanks.
