Just wondering what the standard is.

Is this the way the water should flow:

main feed/outside taps/drinking water pipe - water softener - cold taps and toilets to the water heater - water heater hot to hot taps

I have a toilet running hard water and wonder which way is correct

Thanks

There is no real order needed, with some exceptions. You don't need softened water for outside, so connect the outside bibs before the softener. Most everything else is as the pipe comes in line.
