I want to add a water softener to my home. Problem is that my basement is partially finished causing some issues with the Softener placement.
Anyways the first picture (Water01) shows how my current system is hooked up and where I want to place the softener
My Plan based on (Water02) pic is to run (2) 3/4" PEX tubing runs from the closet where the water heater and softener is located to the water main access.
I would cut the 3/4" copper pipe after the water meter. I would use the RED Pex line to run from the main water over to the closet and go into a filter then into Water Softener. Out of the softener would be the blue line and would feed back to the water meter area and it would tap back into the 3/4" pipe feeding the rest of the house.
The PEX runs would be 40ft per run adding roughly 80ft more of water travel to the system.
does anyone see any issues with this setup? Thoughts on water pressure?
Thanks!
