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 re-
generates 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

Kinetico systems clean themselves with
soft water using countercurrent regenera-
tion. This process reduces regenerant and
water usage and regenerates the resin
beads more effectively.
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.
The actual regeneration process of a
Kinetico water system is different from
other systems. Kinetico water systems
use a process called countercurrent re-
generation (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.
The 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 re-
generate, service automatically switches
