Do you need a drain in the basement in order to install a home water softener in the basement?
Depends upon the plumbing code in your area.... A traditional ion-exchange water softener does need a "drain line". Typically 10-50 gallons of water are sent to the drain during each regeneration . Depending upon the local plumbing codes this drain could be: - a floor drain - a deep-sink drain (wash basin) - plumed directly into the household sewer drain (typically this installation uses a device called an air-gap)

Can a water softener increase your water bill?
A water softener slightly increases the amount of water you will use in a home because it uses water to rinse the accumulated hardness down the drain every few days when it performs its regeneration cycle. A typical sized residential softener uses about 50 gallons of water during the regeneration cycle. In between regenerations, a typical sized softener will typically soften several thousand gallons. The actual amount depends on your in coming hardness and the amount of salt you use. If your incoming hardness is 20 grains, it may treat 1000 gallons, but if your incoming hardness is 7 grains it may treat 3000 gallons. Since most water bills depend upon usage, your water bill would go up by 1050/1000 = 5% on 20 grains hard water or 3050/3000 = 2% on 7 grains hard water. You will probably pay much more for the salt used by the softener over the course of 1 year than the added water. On the other hand, you may save much more on reduced cleaning products and soap, and over time you will save because appliances will last longer and your water heater will be more energy efficient running on soft water than on hard water.
How do you put a sump pump in when you have a septic system and no good fall around house?

Why won't my washer drain model kawe677b?
Either the pump has failed or it and/or the hoses are blocked. Disconnect the outlet pipe from the drain and lower it into a bowl or bucket or a floor level drain. This should drain the drum. If no water comes out there is a blockage in the pump inlet or outlet hose. If water comes out, the flow is OK, so there is a pump or switching fault.
