Easy to install with the exception that the connections to the softener are 1" and the pipes in the house are 3/4".  It would have been nice if GE would have included both 3/4" and 1" connectors for the quick connect hook up.  It took visits to multiple home stores in the area and about three hours of driving to find a reducer since there are no 3/4 to 1" connecting pipes anywhere.  I would have been done in an hour had the appropriate connections been available.
