Installing a whole house water filter and water softener system

Today we are installing an Express Water whole house three stage water filtration system as well as a Fleck 5600 SXT water softener system with 64,000 grain for the entire home.

I am going to do this weekend's project. I recently purchased a home, and it utilizes well water. I need to filter my water, and I can see that this is the best way.

That's my spring project for this year.

You were very helpful thank you.

I have the same water softener looking at getting the express water filter you have as well. How hard was your water, and why did you put the filters before the water softener? Gotta love how easy pex is to work with but boy does it look sloppy haha. (all lop sided and floppy).

I want to install this system but my pre-plumbing has a drain pipe connecting directing into the water supply line, what am i supposed to do with the drain line?

[@Michael-bn7bf]

What size of pipe you use?

Will you show how to install a SHELL WATER SYSTEM?

what is the charge to install

[@seanellison9677]

Is it not best practice to put the water softener before the filters? To avoid having to replace filters so often?

I'm no plumbing expert but you're absolutely correct. A filter isn't meant to deal with the hard water, so putting the softener first optimizes the filtration process as well

[@ivandrago8543]

@@owg952I was wondering this too but the instruction manual for my AO Smith stuff recommends this order:
1. prefilter/sediment filter
2. whole house water filter
3. water softener

[@joshuahuber9668]

No. If it doesn't filter "that", it isn't shortening the life of the filtration unit. A softener should be the last unit before entering your pipes.
