Hi guys.
I need to run a condense pipe and 2 water softener flushes(15mm copper) to an external drain.
The problem is that the nearest drain is the other side of a door way, so running some 1 1/2” pipe over to the existing drain isn’t possible.
They don’t really want a soak away but there is a 3rd option. As the existing patio is raised, I could lift a couple of slabs by the back door and install a drain to pick up the pipe work. I could then terminate this drain into the existing drain. But, I’m not sure what’s best or what drain would be suitable for this? If you guys could offer any advice that would be great. Cheers
 
Think I’d do the under the patio thing but seal all connections and add a breather pipe, which will also detect any blockages and may allow rodding. Flush from a water softener is high flow and should keep the pipe clear. Why not in 4inch?
