Overhead drain for water softener

I'm installing a Kenmore 75290 ion exchange water softener. There is no floor drain, laundry tub or sump pump in the basement or garage (I've lived here for 4 years, and the basement is dry). I'm planning to connect the valve drain to an overhead drain. The surge tank from the well is set at 60 psi. Will this work for the backwash, or do I need to install a pump? If I go with the overhead drain, how do I install an air gap? What do I do about the overflow drain?
