Discuss Softener Drain Line Question in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net

Hello,

I am a bit confused with what I "think" is the builder's pre-installed softener drain line.
I opened the wall to see better what is going on. Glad I did.
This is in a garage, and the house is on a slab in SoCal.

First question: Is this 3/4" copper pipe sticking out of wall the Softener Drain input line?
Second Question: If this is the drain line, am I to assume that it is connected into a drain with an air gap?
Third Question: Why is there an "Open" Tee at the bottom, inside the wall? Would that need to be capped so that it doesn't flood the inside of my walls?

An alternative approach is that I could run a flexible line over to the drain for the washer, since it is about 6 feet away on the other side of a door way.
Fourth Question: Should I do this instead of risking using this line in red?

Thanks for any input and help.
