Quick one. I am in the middle of a complete down-to-the-studs renovation of a home I bought. I am completing a 95% re-pipe of the plumbing with Uponor PEX. I am fortunate to have both nice clean well water and city water. I am not hooked to the city sewer, I have a traditional septic tank. My intent right now was the following (I'm basically doing this to save a few bucks long term with water use and to keep the well from getting stagnant):
City Water:
Well Water (Softened)
Well Water (Un-Softened)
The city/well systems will be completely independent from each other. Costs of added materials are relatively small and I have no issue with the extra time it will take for me to do the work. The 5% of the system I am not re-piping is the existing copper feed from the well tank to the the existing softener system.
Is there any good reason not to do it this way?
Thank you in advance for any advice/opinions.
