Normally, the supply line for an outside hose bib is taken from the supply side (the line into the softner), since softened water (the line out) contains a certain amount of salt that is not particularly good for watering lawns or washing cars.

In areas with hard water, this Plumbing arrangement is often referred to as a "third line water system", meaning there are cold and hot water softened lines, and a third unsoftened line for drinking/cooking water and for external hose bibs.
