You’ll need a few things: a water softener unit (obviously), flexible copper or PEX tubing, compression fittings, a pipe cutter, a wrench, a bucket, and Teflon tape. Oh, and a towel. Actually, bring three towels. Trust me on this.
If you’re feeling fancy, grab a bypass valve. It’s like a secret escape hatch for your water—super handy if you ever need to bypass the softener for garden hoses or ice makers. Your future self will thank you by not crying during a drought.
