I am working on setting up my Rodi unit and I am trying to figure out where I want to tap into my home water line. I can go in before the water goes through the water softner or after. Which is best?


Thanks!

usually when people have bad/hard water, the water is sent through the softener first, then through the RO unit.

the RO unit will remove the stuff that makes the water "hard" but it will shorten the life of your membrane, so if you can put a softener in front of the RO unit

And you know, if someone had made me guess I would have said to run the RODI ahead of the softener so you didn't have to remove the salt from the softened water. Good thing no one did ask me to guess, I hate to be wrong!
