Changing The Filter - Kinetico Aquakinetic Q237 Owner's Manual

AquaKinetic Softener Owners Manual
Maintaining Your Water System
Your AquaKinetic water softener is engineered to provide you with quality water
without requiring extensive maintenance. However, some routine maintenance is
necessary to keep your system working properly.

Changing the Filter

Your AquaKinetic water softener uses an in-line filter to remove solid material
from the inlet water supply. Periodically, the filter cartridge will require
replacement. This should occur when the water pressure in the home begins to
gradually decrease.

Adding Regenerate (water softener salt or potassium chloride
Make sure your salt storage tank never runs out of regenerant. Refill regenerant
anytime before water is visible in the brine drum or softener cabinet (on cabinet
models). Use Kinetico Water Softener Salt, available from most Kinetico dealers,
or another high quality brand. Some salts contain foreign particles which can
cause problems with your system, so be sure to use a high quality grade of salt,
processed especially for use in water softeners. If you choose to use potassium
chloride, contact your local authorized Kinetico dealer to find out about the
recommended adjustments to your system. Your Kinetico dealer can also
recommend or perform a schedule of periodic maintenance. DO NOT USE
ROCK SALT OR SOLAR SALT, as it often contains significant levels of dirt or
foreign matter.
