We are building a new home on a lake which has a well. We will be installing a water softener. My builder wants to know if we want to run a seperate hard water line for cold water to the kitchen sink and refrigerator ice maker. I have heard that some people don't like the taste of the water going through the water softener because of the salt and I have heard that the hard water line can ruin a faucet and ice maker. We have no idea what to do. I am more concerned about the hard water ruining the faucet and causing problems with the ice maker if that is true. What do you advise? Thanks.
