I just learned today that my home in Las Vegas, built ~1995, has the cold water kitchen faucet plumbed on hard water line. This includes connections plumbed for RO system that feeds ice maker. Was told that this was not an uncommon practice until ~2000 - 2005. I have been testing all my faucets/toilets/showers, etc. to see what is on the hard vs. soft loop. Looks like only the kitchen/icemaker lines.
I want cold feed soft in my kitchen, not hard. I will be looking to cut into wall by softener loop to look for "T" to kitchen area soon and if I am lucky to find it, will be re-configuring plumbing to bring soft water to kitchen faucet/ice maker lines.
Anyone else have this config or heard similar comments about "best practices" over the years?
