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.
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 regenerates 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 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 regeneration
(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 regenerate, service automatically switches to the other tank
(Fig. 2). So go ahead and do a week's worth of laundry in one day. Your Kinetico
water system can handle it.

Highly Efficient Regeneration
Kinetico systems clean themselves with soft
water using countercurrent regeneration.
This process reduces regenerant and
water usage and regenerates the resin
beads more effectively.
