What To Look For
With so
many companies offering water treatment systems and such a wide range of prices,
it's difficult to know how one system compares to another. Listed below are some
important tips to help consumers make an informed decision about their needs.
Company
Many new companies open up each year with limited experience and knowledge about the water treatment industry.
Many companies close down every year leaving consumers without service and warranty support.
Shop with a national company that can provide warranties, service, parts and filters.
Warranties
Ask to read the original manufacturer's warranty. Do not accept verbal promises from the salesperson.
Does a "lifetime" warranty cover your life?, the company's life?, your home's life?, or the salesman's life?
A "lifetime" warranty is always a "limited lifetime" with the most expensive parts not covered for more than a year or two.
Make sure the warranty is fully transferable if you move to a new home or want to sell the unit to a new owner.
Certification
NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) is the most important third party certification organization for water treatment systems.
NSF has established the highest standards for product claims, manufacturing practices and product design.
Make sure the entire system you're evaluating is NSF certified and not just a specific component.
Efficiency
Efficiency refers to how much regenerant (salt or potassium) is required, how much water is needed, and how much time it takes to regenerate the system.
One system may use 4-5 time less regenerant and 9-10 times less water than another.
Consumers should compare the cost to operate and amount of maintenance required on each system they're considering.
Pricing/Value
Shop and compare with reputable national companies. A low price is no bargain if the company is out of business in a year or two.
Make sure the quoted price includes installation. Get a written quote and make sure there are no hidden charges.
The company should provide literature, specifications, operating costs, written warranties and third party validations on the exact system quoted.
Maintenance Costs
Review costs to operate a system as well as cost to purchase.
In many cases, the maintenance costs on a low priced system exceed the savings.
The best value is the combination of a quality product with low maintenance and a solid manufacturer's warranty.
Convenience
Ask to see an owner's manual before purchasing and review how to operate the system.
Find out how to troubleshoot the system if something goes wrong and to set or reset the unit.
If shopping for a drinking water system, review how to change the filters and how long the components last.
Kinetico is proud to introduce Purefecta, the only drinking water system certified to produce Biopure water. The Purefecta removes greater than 99.99999% of waterborne bacteria, 99.99% of waterborne viruses, and 99.999% of waterborne protozoa/cysts from your drinking water.

Water Softener Systems
Kinetico water softeners are powered by the kinetic energy of moving water—not electricity.
So they’re more efficient and less costly to run. And twin tank design means they never go offline.
NON-ELECTRIC: Only Kinetico uses the kinetic energy of moving water to power its systems instead of electricity
- thanks to their patented Turbine. So, you never have to worry about costly repairs or a higher monthly electric bill.
24/7: Twin tank design allows our systems to backwash without ever going offline for around- the-clock operation.
You'll notice a difference all throughout your home.
METERED REGENERATION: Meters water use to accurately determine when it's time to regenerate with watch-like
precision, resulting in less waste and greater savings. So when you go on vacation so does your system.
SALT WATER RINSE: Uses only soft, conditioned water to clean itself, which prolongs the life of the system.
Because our systems our engineered to last.
COUNTERCURRENT REGENERATION: Unlike most other softeners, our systems regenerate from the bottom up,
for a more even and efficient use of resin beads, resulting in less waste, less salt and a longer lasting system.
City-Water SoftenersKinetico city-water softeners remove hardness-causing minerals as well as chlorine
and other organic materials that may be present in
city water.
Well-Water SoftenersWell water brings with it a host of unwanted substances, such as iron and manganese,
which are effortlessly removed
with a Kinetico well-water softener.
Reverse Osmosis "R.O."
Drinking Water Systems
Whether it’s simple carbon filtration you want or a drinking water system capable of producing water that’s 99.99% free of bacteria and viruses, Kinetico removes every ounce of suspicion.
REVERSE OSMOSIS: A filtering process where water is pushed through a semipermeable membrane to trap contaminants for glass after glass of the safest, best tasting drinking water.
