Water softener loop

[deft 7059]

I want to install a water softener on our new house in San Antonio with super hard water. There’s no loop in the garage but there is an access panel and 1” vinyl line with shark fitting cutoff valve. What are my options for putting the loop here? What are the requirements for the loop? Does it need to be a certain height? Horizontal/vertical? Most seem to be horizontal.

Mine was installed at same location.  I'll work on getting a pic.
