I am replacing an ancient water softener which was removed from the pipes 15
years ago.

The house has two water heaters. Apparently there are also some soft water
zones (showers) and hard water zones (kitchen and bar faucets). There are
hot/cold and hard/soft water pipes going in all directions. The pipes are in
the walls.

After I have installed a new softener, how can I determine which faucets
have soft and which ones have hard water?

Thanks

Use a water hardness test such as this

Geez, all you need to do is shut off the water to the water softener.
Any faucets that still flow are untreated.
