Bob S asked:
I have purchased a water softener for my home and everything I read says using 3/4 inch pipe to install, My home right from the water meter has only 1/2 inch copper pipe, my question is will the 1/2 inch copper tubing be sufficient or do I need to repipe the entire run with 3/4 inch tubing. I have done a flow test and their seems to be sufficient flow.

its very rare to have a 1/2 line from your meter. you can use a reducing coupling 3/4x 1/2 to go up to 3/4 inch,,it should work fine.
