Hi. We moved into a new house installed with a water softener loop. We keep trying to get the right parts with no luck. We now have bought two sharkbite quick connect 1" x 3/4" hoses. But, the longest was only 2ft. We are a few inches short. What is the easiest solution to make it work? Not sure if the pvc loop is 3/4 or 1" either. Also, what's the most cost effective way to add stop valves. Thanks
