Whole house softener first, or filtration first? and more Q's
Comments (3)Typical water treatment should be: First: particulate filtration (most of the other treatments steps can't handle the solids) - your prefilters perform this function.

Comments (3)San Francisco is an expensive market and to be honest most buyers are looking for top of the line finishes and appliances . I have done Ikea kitchens in every price point home you can imagine but you need to find a designer who understands Ikea and a contractor that understands the process of instal Your local Ikea can reccomned installers and help with the actual design but they are limited to the ability to think outside the box. that is why you want a KD who has used Ikea. I agree there will be bumps along the way since that age of house will have issues. You can get a lot of freeadvice here if you post to scale floor plans of the kitchen for sure and how it relates to the rest of the house. Make sure it can be enlarged all meausrements clearly marked and all windows and doorways too....See Morebeesneeds
