Reply to comment by TrekForce in Can I run a water line for a fridge off a washer dryer hook up? by SpicyyySalsaaa

There is no added benefit to adding soft water to your sinks or fridge. It just forces you to cycle your softener more often resulting in more back wash cycles.

You run soft water to laundry and showers as it helps create suds over hard water.

The benefit would be hard water buildup/stains. Hard water will start clogging the tiny little tube for the fridge pretty easily. Same as sink, only less severe. Just much easier maintenance. Instead of buying nasty CLR or whatever to try to clean the sink periodically, I never need to worry about it. Just regular ol cleaning to get the food/etc cleaned out, don’t need to touch the faucet.
