Water softener discharges into garage utility sink

Inspecting a house today and noticed this. Water softener discharge line drains into utility sink drain line. This needs to have an air gap to prevent back siphoning/cross connections right?

My thought is if the sink clogs water can flow back into the line.

You can connect a water softener above the garage sink.
Miss high-loop air gap.

Sorry for the edit.

Do you have a picture of what that would look like?

Simple stuff, Donald.
Follow the water softener drain line to the sink. There is a complete loop or 360 degree loop in the end of the drainage tubing.
