Fiarly straightforward well system setup. I want to soften the house but not the irrigation. Piping in to the house is 1", but narrows down to 3/4" at whole-house filters. I'm assuming the softener will pipe in downstream of whole-house filters on 3/4" line.
Being that the well pressure will vary between 40 and 60 psi, and the flow has been OK but not overwhelming in the 8 years I've been in the house (pump is about 25 years old), I'd like to make sure I minimize the flow restriction that the new softener will create.
Is tying the softener in on the 3/4" line a significant source of restriction to where I should try to get the softener piped to the 1" part of the setup? I realize the bottleneck to the house is still going to be the 3/4" piping, but what I did not know is if the softener will create less restriction on the 1" line or the 3/4" line.
See separate question on sizing of the softener.
Thanks!
