Does a water softener have to be connected to the main water supply?

Question by Scott C: Does a water softener have to be connected to the main water supply?

I just moved into a new home and would like to have a water softener installed. The main water supply (shut off values) is located in the coat closet though. I don't want to put a water softener in the coat closet. The house is on a slab foundation. Can we put the water softener some where else? If so, what are our options?

If you just want the water to use in the sink then you can put it under the sink but if you want it throughout the house then go to the hotwater heater and see if there is a cold water and hot water running side by side then you can plumb it in there if there is room.
