Pre-installation Review

Before beginning the installation of the Kinetico system, confirm system configuration to be installed and
components that have been ordered. Please review Kinetico specification sheet that includes required
components.
Review of the customer's facility is also recommended, especially critical operating data that could affect the
operation of the system:
Water pressure to the Kinetico system affects the
performance during regeneration. The Kinetico system will
not operate properly if the inlet pressure fluctuates below a
dynamic pressure of 25 psi. This minimum pressure must
be maintained to the system at all times. Should the
pressure fluctuate below this level, a booster pump may be
required.
Do not use on water pressure that exceeds 125 psi or water
temperature that exceeds 120
Do not install the Kinetico Softener in an area where the
temperature can cause the unit to freeze. Damage to the
system will result.
It is recommended that a WQA certified installer perform the
installation. Failure to install the system as instructed will
void the warranty.
Proper ventilation must be provided when using PVC cleaner
or glue.
A ladder should be used for all work overhead that would be
beyond your natural reach. If working continuously at a
height of six feet or more, the appropriate safety devices
must be employed.
An appliance dolly should be used when transporting
equipment on stairways.
When soldering, the following must be met and followed:
LEAD FREE solder must be used.
PVC containers and other flammable materials must
be closed or removed to prevent fire or explosions.
Loose clothing (ie: shirts tails, sleeves, etc.) should
not be worn or should be addressed before using a
torch for soldering.
