Just move in to my parents old home and found that once a week when
the water softener does a backwash, the shower in the bathroom in the
middle of the house would flood.  Not sure how often it does a
backwash since I am new to this equipment.  

Can I just let the backwash flow out to my lawn instead?
or can I reduce the speed of the backwash so it would allow it to
drain a bit slower?

Please reply to this thread.
