Being brighter
Hello and thanks in advance to all. I recently purchased a house. It's on a well with a pretty large water softener. The supply side is leaking ever so slightly where it looks like 3/4" pex attaches to the 1" supply (photo attached). The current attachment looks like some sort of plastic male connector that reduces to the pex. Can I just replace this with a sharkbite 1" male to 3/4" push-to-connect? Like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/SharkBite-3-4-in-Push-to-Connect-x-1-in-MIP-Brass-Adapter-Fitting-U139LFA/204231497
My plan would be to preserve the existing pex but also would welcome advice.
Second, the well goes direct to the softener. Should I have a sediment filter of some sort between? We had a new washing machine intake fail and the repairman said it was due to sediment from the hot water building up and clogging the intake.
Thanks again!
