I'm going to install a sediment filter after my water softener which

(3/4" copper) elbows. Given the effects adding bends has on air-
ducting, I'd expect it would have a negative effect on water flow as
well. Or am I exaggerating the importance of this?

Thanks!

I think as others have said, you probably won't notice too much
difference in water flow.

But, if you're anal about minimizing the pressure drop and don't mind
paying a couple of bucks more for the parts, then spring for larger
radius "long turn" elbows like these:

Many fitting manufacturers make them.
