Thought id check.

I took their kitchen and Utility out, in the utility there is a water softener. The incoming main supply is in the main kitchen, in its current configuration it looks like it was the cold supply to the kitchen sink but has since been capped. The main is Tee'd into a grey hep pipe which feeds the utility room the supply goes through the softener after which point there is Tee for the cold supply to the utility sink tap before it goes back through the wall feeding the main kitchen sink and everything else in the house.

My customer has high blood pressure, I checked this evening.

In the utility should i cut a tee prior to the softener to create a hard water cold feed and instal a double check valve between the Tee and the softener and in the kitchen reopen the hard water supply and cap the returning softened supply.

I think this is the right way to do it please?
