I would like to plumb a drain line, and maybe a salt water reservoir line through an exterior wall of my home.
The drain line would go from my sump to outside, into a drain line and out to the street. I would have my skimmer drain into the line, and use the drain for water changes, reducing need to carry a bucket.
I would also like to setup a mixing station outside, right behind the tank, and be able to pump new saltwater in, with the flip of a button, and have the over flow go through that drain.
Crawlspace is not an option for me, I am on a 17" thick concrete slab, so it has to go through the wall.
My exterior wall is Masonite siding.
Has anyone done this or something similar? I know how to drill a hole pretty good and am assuming I can just caulk it to fill it. Is that correct? Will I need to vent the drain line?
