Review on SharkBite U3086FLEX24LFA: 3/4 Inch to 1 Inch Water 🦈 Softener Connector - Push-to-Connect Copper, PEX, CPVC, Braided Stainless Steel by Black Croom

This is the perfect part to add a water softener and/or iron filter to an existing 3/4 inch water system. Requires no special tools or skills and is very effective for this purpose. The flexible lines ensure a great smooth flow and there are no leaks when installed correctly. However, if you're building a new system or want something cleaner, I'd recommend the "SharkBite UC529LFA 3/4x1 FNPT Swivel Adapter" is also available on Amazon for $8 each. They require a crimp connection, so it's not for everyone thing, but if you are already renovating your plumbing and have or are planning to buy crimping tools, these are the perfect part for the job and not what you can find locally came with my water softener and had no problems.I just wanted more flexibility and less torsional stress for my filter device heads (they are heavy).PS The bonus is that when you add hardware you take full advantage of a short piece of pipe and these SharkBites come with the SharkBite I've had this setup for over a month with no problems and don't see any reason why it hasn't lasted that long ten could be like a regular SharkBite connection.
