Recently there was a thread about the adding additional electrical outlets to a home during the final options process of building your dream home. Here is something anyone considering building a new home and having a water softener installed at some point will want to add an outlet near where the softener will be located.

During my last stay in TV I stayed in a patio villa that had water softener and it was located next to where the water comes into the house from the street. This was on the left side of the garage with the golf cart area on the right side.

The closest outlet was on the opposite wall and the owner had to run a wire up and over the garage door frame to get to the softener. The softener used what some people call a wall wart power supply (think calculator power supply) and had to cut and splice the wire to add length. It worked but did not look that great.

Just something to add to your list of things to think about.
