Commonly Asked Questions

There has been a drop in my home's water pressure. What can be the
cause?
A reduction in your home's water pressure can indicate that it is time to change
your filter. See page 6 for information on changing the filter. If you do not have a
filter with your system or changing the filter has no effect, contact your local,
authorized Kinetico dealer.
My system seems to be regenerating more frequently. Is this normal?
Remember, your AquaKinetic water softener is demand-operated, adjusting
automatically to your water usage. If you do not think that your water usage has
increased due to extra house guests, additional laundry or some other reason,
check for any leaky plumbing, dripping faucets or running toilets; all of which can
contribute to more frequent regenerations.
I can hear AquaKinetic water softener running or regenerating during the
day. My old softener only used to run at night. Is this normal?
Single tank, electric water softeners tend to be set to regenerate at night because
of the unavailability of soft water during the regeneration process. Unlike
traditional water softeners, Kinetico systems operate on demand based on your
water usage, without timers or electronics. So your system regenerates
whenever necessary, at any time of day. And Kinetico's twin tank design allows
one tank to provide treated water while the other regenerates, so you'll never be
without soft water.
How will I know when it is time to add salt?
Lift the lid of the brine tank to check the level of salt. If you can see water, it is
time to add salt. You can add salt anytime there is enough room to accommodate
at least one bag. However, keep in mind that keeping the brine tank completely
full of salt can contribute to salt bridging (see page 9).
