Key Features

This water softener installation diagram includes:

  • Main valve and water meter on the incoming line
  • Hard water branch splitting off before the softener
  • Brine tank and resin tank with a control head
  • Shutoff valve on the line feeding the softener
  • Drain line for the softener's regeneration cycle
  • Soft water feeding the water heater and cold lines
  • Color-coded hard, soft, and hot water lines

The hard water branch splits off before the softener, so outdoor lines skip treatment and you don't spend salt softening water for the lawn.

Key Considerations When Installing a Water Softener

Where you tap into the main line decides which fixtures get soft water and which don't. With ArcSite, you can redraw this diagram around your customer's actual plumbing and show them exactly where the softener lands.

FAQ

Does this diagram show where outdoor faucets connect?

It shows a hard water branch splitting off before the softener. That's the line you'd typically route to hose bibs and irrigation.

Can I add a filter before the softener?

Yes! You can drop a sediment filter or any other component into the line in ArcSite and redraw the piping around it.

Can I price the install from this drawing?

Yes. ArcSite can turn the parts on your drawing into a priced proposal, so the customer gets the layout and the cost in one document.
