Hello,

I have water softener pre-loop, and it's currently U-Shape (In/Out) with PEX.

I want to get 3 Valves bypass job (H-Shape) so I can easily add / remove water softener or house filter. Pex is 1" thick, and I don't know what would be the best way to get this done without losing too mush PSI.

index.php


Questions:
1) Will I lose water pressure by having multiple In/Out ball valves?

2) While PEX is 1",will 1"->3/4" flex water connector to water softener decrease the water pressure of house plumbing?

3) What type of pipe do you recommend? PEX /Galvanized/Copper?
The loop is located inside of garage (Austin, TX)

Thanks in advance
