Harvey softener drain line occasionally backs up, causing water to spill near the drain connection

Safety: Drain water may contain brine; protect nearby metal surfaces from corrosion.

• Inspect drain connection: Ensure the Harvey drain hose discharges into an air gap or standpipe and is not sealed airtight.
• Clear blockage: Clean the standpipe or trap of any debris or buildup.
• Adjust hose depth: Do not insert the drain hose too far into the standpipe; leave an air gap to prevent siphoning and backflow.
• Secure hose: Use clips or ties to keep the hose in position and prevent it from falling out.

Persistent drain issues may require a plumber to modify the waste connection to meet local regulations and Harvey guidelines.
