Water softner install?
DenmanShooter:
Unless you want to know way more about water softeners than you need to, give Handyman Joe's the call.
I own mine and installed it myself but it was a replacement for an old one that had given up the ghost. It required quite a bit of replumbing on old copper pipe to get it set up to use the newer connectors. But that was Ok since I learned how to solder pipe many many years ago. Also had to learn to program it for proper calibration etc. But it works great.
Our Omaha house has a rented one and I can't remember the place who services it right off the top of my head but it's a nice little digital model.
I'll look it up when I get home if I remember it and post it later.

It's no problem if i go buy one, and just leave the install up to you?

Best place to put them is right after the meter or sprinkler system. If copper or PEX, home depot has some cool install kits you can use. There braided style lines with Shark Bite on one side and female threaded on the other.
Water softener come with 1" male threaded adapters. Also make sure the water line coming from the meter is going to the in part of the by - pass and the out is going to the house. And plug into a 110.
IMHO I like sears softners

Have been thinking about this myself. My mom's is hooked up the same as kozball's (hard cold water to kitchen). Is that how most installations are set up?

No problem at all. Just make sure it fits in the space and is adequate for the amount of water used.

You can do a bypass for the kitchen faucet. It's about 50/50 who do and don't. For me I wouldn't. I don't like hard water damage to my faucet.
Reason people do it, is because they don't the taste of soft water which is a flat taste and not a ranch taste. Now if it's salty then there is something wrong with the softener.
If your basement is unfinished and have an extra hole on your sink. You can run a 3/8 bypass to your sink for a drinking spout.
