You can’t use softened water to make baby bottles. We’ve got a capped hard water pipe under the sink if we want to add it.
The garden tap is also hard water and in the same line so can just get a jug of that.
We’re not using bottles though so less bothered.

Have you got separate unsoftened drinking water taps, there seemed to be a fair bit of stuff recommending that, particularly for very young children.
No. The concern is around small elevations of salt in the water. It's acceptable to us, but YMMV.

The amount of flow you need (generally) dictates the size of the unit. The size of your house generally dictates how much flow you need. Screwfix carry a line of averagely reviewed ones that we used as an initial ballpark of size/vague cost of unit needed. Worth thinking about where you want to locate it alongside your water supply that can be adequately powered/accessed. That was the tough bit for us as our water supply comes under the back of kitchen cabinets, but the meter and stopcock are halfway down kitchen along the pipe run, which really limited where we could put in the unit.
Very much felt this too.
