I have an unsoftened water line to the kitchen sink. I drink that to

it), and I fill my indoor watering can from that. I have an unsoftened

plants, but I don't see any reason to pay for soft water for them.

Good !
People should avoid drinking softened water.
It contains too much residual sodium.

The most economical way to plumb the softener,
is to have it feed your hot-water heater.
That way you use softened water for washing.
