Bypass line for un-softened water question

12 years ago

This is probably a real basic and dumb question, but I wanted feedback from the experts on here. I need to install a bypass line for the outdoor hose bibs of un-softened water. I was thinking of putting in a T at where the elbow is at the top of the well tank just before it goes to the house supply water filter and then running the line straight up and over to the hose bib connections. The question is, my thought (being the inexperienced one) is that the T would reduce flow to the whole house water filter and softner. Would it reduce flow? Is there a better way? The two hose bibs are pex lines on the manablock but I was going to unplug them and run a bypass to the to avoid the softened water for garden and lawn reasons.

Thanks for your help
