Water softener installation diagram. The best case scenario is that you have a qualified plumbing expert that comes in to install it for you. As shown in the diagram below a typical water softener has a resin or mineral tank a brine tank and some type of control. With a conventional cation exchange water softener the house water supply pipe is connected to a control valve and timer at the top of the resin tank. As with any plumbing job your biggest costs in installing a new water softening system are going to come from the water softener itself reverse osmosis systems are the most costly which is why many people opt for the smallest versions possible and install them only at the faucet.

With all piping and wiring installation is completed and with the mineral in. The above diagram shows you just how simple a water softener installation can be that is except for running the plumbing of course.

The cold water line is shown in blue and the hot water line is red.
