I'm going to be replacing a water softener and went with next size up so will be slightly relocating it requiring some changes to existing plumbing too and from it. I've never seen the water line materials used before so need some guidance on how best to deal with it.
The water lines are a semi flexible plastic with 90 degree copper press fittings, the line is 3/4" it seems never seen this before, and therefore don't know how to connect to them. It appears that the current set up uses a copper compression fitting to connect to the plastic hose then a 3/4" threaded male connected to a 3/4" female to 1" male threaded connector-see picture.
My thought is buying 1" flexihose(similar to a sink or toilet water line connection) and if I can remove at the connection to the shut off valve I'd have a 1" threaded male to 1" threaded male to connect to, perfect for the flexihose. Will I be able to remove at the connection shown with an arrow without disturbing the press fitting plastic to copper/brass
