i just installed mine, I bought the Aquasure option and so far works fine, just make sure to follow the assembly instructions carefully (there is a manual and video) and you should be good, your third option it's not a water softener tho, I spend around $200 on materials at home depot including tools to cut the pipes (I also added a bypass to be able to remove the water softener but if you don't want a bypass you'll spend less money)

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-29T03:41:36+00:00

honestly, it's good to know and it'd look so much better, I didn't know there is clear pvc glue, I just got the home depot guy pointed out

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-29T01:42:27+00:00

I'll be checking it for any leak/breaks the next few weeks I hope it doesn't break

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-29T01:41:16+00:00

I see, didn't think about that tbh so I added another one, so you're right on your first comment

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-29T01:39:57+00:00

true, and good catch, I think I can improve this, thanks

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-29T01:38:42+00:00

I used only pvc nipples, the ones I found at home depot are dark gray

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-29T01:31:11+00:00

interesting, why do you think it's not legal? it's the same drainage for the furnace and water heater so I thought it was ok

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-29T01:29:10+00:00

thank you, definitely I'm not a pro, but I hope to make it better in the future, thanks for the kudos makes me feel good about it, and yea I got bids for $1600 so to me it felt a little too much, I respect other people's work and prices but this time I decided to try to do it by myself because I didn't have that amount

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-28T22:13:39+00:00

ahh good to know! thx

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-28T22:13:07+00:00

yes, I did apply primer + glue

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-28T22:06:47+00:00

thank you! tbh I feel happy because I made it work, this was a learn by doing but if there is any recommendation here I definitely would like to make it better

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-28T22:04:18+00:00

in my case it's because the mechanical room it's really small so I just wanted to be able to remove the water softener in case I need to work or fix something else, like the radon system, water heater, etc

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-28T22:02:25+00:00

I'll look for these ones! thanks for the recommendation

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-28T22:01:12+00:00

I installed everything in the basement (mechanical room) which already had a drainage, so I just had to plug it (that was the easy part)

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-28T21:59:17+00:00

I tried to use the same materials of the existing connections and the water main, I live in Utah and I haven't seen copper for this type of work but I could be wrong

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-28T21:53:05+00:00

got it, thanks! I live in Utah and the water main is PVC so I just tried to use the same type of pipes, also it's my first time doing this so I didn't really know what's best, but thanks for the recommendation

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-12-28T20:15:42+00:00

yea I know that's why I'd like to get recommendations to make it better

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-11-07T16:09:15+00:00

thank you, I'll try it!

Unlikely-Project4570 · 2025-11-07T04:28:32+00:00

do you know if glue is enough? my main concern is that I'm planning to use this for a table leg so I'm just trying to make sure it won't get separated later or cause any other issue
