What Makes Your Kinetico Water System
Different Is What Makes It Better
Kinetico water systems are powered by the energy of moving water, not electricity.
So there’s nothing to plug in, no buttons to push, timers to set and reset, or
adjustments to make. You really don’t need to do anything special to operate your
Kinetico water system —it runs itself, not you.
Your Kinetico water system has a built-in water meter which means it operates
“on demand” based on your actual water usage. With demand operation, your
Kinetico water system can regenerate at any time of the day or night and you’ll
still have plenty of soft water available. It regenerates when necessary, so a simple
flush of the toilet or run of the faucet can send your Kinetico water system into
regeneration. Depending on your water usage, your Kinetico water system could
regenerate more frequently (if you have a house full of guests, for instance) or
not at all for several days (if you’re on vacation). Demand operation ensures
maximum efficiency while providing you with a
continuous supply of soft water — even as your
water usage changes.
e actual regeneration process of a
Kinetico water system is different from other
systems. Kinetico water systems use a process
called countercurrent regeneration (instead of an
old fashioned, 4- or 5-cycle regeneration) which
has long been recognized as the optimum process
for regenerating a resin bed (Fig. 1). Kinetico is
able to effectively use this process since our water
systems regenerate with soft water.
e twin tank design of a Kinetico water
system provides you with a continuous supply
of soft water any time of day, even through the
regeneration process. When one tank needs to
regenerate, service automatically switches to the
other tank (Fig. 2). So go ahead and do a week’s
worth of laundry in one day. Your Kinetico water
system can handle it.
Highly Efficient Regeneration
Kinetico systems clean
themselves with soft water
using countercurrent
regeneration. This process
reduces regenerant and water
usage and regenerates the
resin beads more effectively.
