How a Kinetico Water Softener Works with Paul

[@anthonymyers4378]

Great demo! I wish ALL Kinetico tanks would be made clear like these demo units.

[@tdcjonm]

The clear tank is not rated for the pressure of a city or well water supply. It's fine for demonstration purposes, but, hooked up to an actual water supply, it would crack and burst within a few hours of use.

As I suspected about the designer having some background in watch making or at peast micro machines! I just picked up a K60 from a Craigslist ad. This thing is from 1992 and its still kicking! All i had to do was rebuild the head with new gaskets (not cheap, yikes!) but once that was done, its now servicing my home! What a gem!

You are the only dealer that’s makes Great videos you should make more! Your videos are the reason I made my purchase, thanks for these insightful videos!

[@aungtun533]

one question I have is how safe is the salt system for home with septic tank?

[@shaney7643]

Can this be installed in a condo?

[@darrenbayerMT]

As long as there is space!

[@jamesbegley2700]

Good Demo.

[@FNGMOTO]

will the discharge water kill my lawn or plants? can i use the soften water on my plants?

[@adammackerel4993]

Yes it will.

[@ItsMrAnthony-8a]

The dealer drained ours out the side of the house, killing the grass surrounding the discharge line. I later installed a catch basin, out of a Home Depot bucket and some gravel. I buried it 6 inches below soil line and filled it with gravel. That fixed my issue!

I’m about to get a Kinetico system installed, but I can’t find much information on which of these two systems is better. Is one system consider better or more efficient than the other. I like the compactness of the 4040 but I was told the 2060 has higher capacity. Kinetico 2060sOD 12x52 Dechlorinator Kinetico 4040SOD My household includes two adults and 2 toddlers. We also have a pool that’ll require about 100 gallons per day during the peak summer months. We’re on City water in Wylie, TX Hardness 10 TDS 242 PH 7.2 Chlorine 3

hi there sorry for the late response but for some reason our comments have not showed up under this video but hopefully we can answer you now..

[@alexandrebeliveau8286]

Please by-pass your system for filling the pool, no utility to do that

[@tractorstrailsandlivingfree]

I see 2 elbows on the valve body. One with that clear suction line and the other with that red (discharge?) line. Without the lines connected, is there a way to identify which is which since they look the same?

[@bojangles_bonjangles8000]

Does extra salt after the softening process end up in the pipes and drinking water?

[@tamibayer1421]

No

[@brawlman]

Yes, but more like trace amounts, so if you're dealing with hypertension or on certain medications, be aware of this... A water quality test would better answer how much, but based on how hard your water is and the level of scaling that needs to be treated...

[@JasonLeonard-w2q]

What does it mean if it continuously drains at a constant flow ? What could be wrong had to bypass whole system to get it to stop ?

[@GrimResistance]

How do I know if I need to change the resin? I have a lot of iron in my water and I'm worried it might be fouled.

[@darrenbayerMT]

Make sure you change your prefilter. Also, make sure you have a water test to determine the amount of iron and that you do not have Ferric iron.

[@brawlman]

Iron removal system (bleach tank; hypochlorite 7% I think minimum) is needed before the carbon or softener, otherwise the iron will foul/shorten the life of the resin...

[@lisagallarelli3452]

The salt and bring is visible, salt and water level is good, but the regeneration process does not shut off. Could it be the value?

[@lisagallarelli3452]

My issue is the timer works, checked the timer. The regeneration process does not stop! It generates for hours, 7 plus

[@jafforte999]

My Kinetico system is 25 years old, and started doing that also. It will run the well dry. I couldn't figure out how to stop it so I crimped the drain hose to stop the siphon. Guess it's time for major overhaul ...

[@kineticorichmond]

HI Lisa sorry for the late response but for some reason our comments have not showed up under this video but hopefully we can answer you now..

[@darrenbayerMT]

A Kinetico does not have a timer unless it is an electric version.

[@darrenbayerMT]

@@jafforte999can you bypass and call your dealer?

[@manolocalifas6488]

water pressure reduced due to two tanks?
