The garden hose method I hear has been widely utilized however I have not tried it myself.
Greetings Wrenchtamer,
Thanks for your reply. This is my second attempt to reply to you. My first attempt seems to have vaporized ?? In the dry months I need to water the vegetables and landscaping any way so no water wasted. In the winter I'm going to try running the drain through a filter and back down my well. My concern was for the equipment so based on your info, and what I've read else where , I'm going to give it a try
Thanks again,Richard
