Hi,
I’ve never owned or operated a water softener before and just starting to install my system. I have a very tight fit in a basement closet (see photo) and would like some advice:
1. As long as it’s plumbed in the correct series, does it really matter where each component is in relation to the next in terms of operability and accessibility? i.e. Maybe the salt tank goes in middle of other two components for easy access to refill salt?
2. Should I be wrapping each of these components in insulation to prevent them from condensation during summertime? Maybe something like: http://www.homedepot.com/p/E-O-12-in-x-15-ft-Self-Stick-Foam-Foil-Duct-Insulation-FV516/100028603
3. Should I get a drain pan fabricated to put under all three so that any leaks or condensation can be collected?
Advice appreciated.
Regards,
Theodore
