kcm.MN said: I agree with Mark's post. To add to it a bit (OK, a lot), it has been my belief that homes with conventional water softeners should have 2 separate waste water drains; one for sewage and the other for grey water, which "could" go directly onto the lawn, or could go to a grey water drainage pit.

I can do that if I have to, but looking for alternatives (and possible downsides of that plan).

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
