Bypass softener for drinking water?

[Piperca]

I’m getting ready to do a repipe and will be integrating a water softener. I would like to run a bypass from before the softener to accommodate drinking water. The bypass line would service a refrigerator line and a pot filler. I am intending on running the non softened water line to a manifold for future expansion, if ever necessary. Would running two 3/4” lines - one before and one after the softener - be overkill?

If your running to a manifold for future lines then you want 3/4" or you may not have the pressure you want.

1/2 pex from unsoftened to the pot filler sound like more than enough. Fridge is a small flow, and could be disregarded I think.

However, being cold, using 3/4 would be fine. Just bigger and stiffer. So no harm from overkill.

3/4” it is. Thank you for the input.
