Page 4: How A Water Softener Works
SOFT WATER Unlike other softeners, the KineticoPRO multiplex Hydrus systems regenerate with soft water. The multiplex systems also regenerate countercurrent to the service flow. Just as there are differences in cleaning with soft water, there are differences in regenerating with soft water. The system uses only clean, soft water to carry out the regeneration and to make the saturated brine solution in the salt storage tank. -
Page 5: Automatic Operation
HS Series Owner’s Manual uTomaTiC peraTion Once the Hydrus Softening System has been installed and set up, operation is completely automatic. The standard, most efficient configuration is to have a flow meter in line that monitors the total amount of water that is softened. -
Page 6: Low Leakage
Hydrus softeners can be configured to provide hardness less than 1.0 mg/L, as calcium carbonate. aTes KineticoPRO’s Hydrus Softening Systems are designed to accommodate the high flows demanded by today’s growing businesses. Despite its compact size, the system provides softened water when needed, on demand. -
Page 7: System Sizing
These values are obtained from water meter readings and water bills. The remaining factor used in properly sizing a KineticoPRO Hydrus system is the hardness of the water to be treated. Hardness is a measure of the calcium and magnesium salts dissolved in the water. The positively- charged portions of these salts, or cations, constitute the loading on the system used to soften the water. -
Page 8: Concepts
HS Series Owner’s Manual peraTion This section is provided to instruct on the operation of tanks, controls and bringing systems. KineticoPRO’s Hydrus Softening Systems are an assembly of five major sub-assemblies: media tank, remote meter, Smart Start Controller, the brining system and the Hydrus Valve itself. Together, they provide softened water efficiently, reliably and continuously. -
Page 9: Level 3-6 Assembly
The KineticoPRO Hydrus System has two basic configurations: simplex and multiplex. The simplex configuration is straightforward in its operation. As a single tank, the regeneration occurs without affecting any other tanks or sub-systems that may be present. Raw water is by-passed around the treatment system during a regeneration. -
Page 10: Plumbing
HS Series Owner’s Manual To provide the most efficient, productive regeneration, Hydrus multiplex systems use softened water for all four stages of the regeneration and to refill the brine tank. For a better understanding, a triplex Hydrus system is used in the following example. -
Page 11: Media Tanks
HS Series Owner’s Manual edia anks The media tanks are made up of several components: the tank itself, upper distributor, media, underbedding, lower distributor and riser. The raw water flows into the valve and through the upper distributor at the top of the tank just beneath the valve. -
Page 12: Central Brining
Kinetico Incorporated. ydrus alVe The Hydrus Valve is at the heart of KineticoPRO’s commercial high-flow systems. It’s a multi-port valve that controls system flow through a single tank. It is designed to link to other Hydrus valves, making expansion to multi-tank configurations uncomplicated. -
Page 13: Sizing
Compliance must also be achieved in a modification of the original installation. Consult a KineticoPRO professional or the appropriate technical documentation if a modification or an alteration is planned or carried out. -
Page 14: Compensated Hardness Equation
HS Series Owner’s Manual Compensated Hardness Equation: mg/L Hardness, as + 3 mg/L iron + 5 mg/L manganese = Compensated Hardness, grain/gal as CaCO CaCO 17.1 The equation above is used to determine the compensated hardness. It provides a method for converting iron and manganese into an equivalent hardness. -

Equipment and instructions for Hydrus softeners using central brine tanks are available separately from KineticoPRO Incorporated. 454 High Flow Brine Valve Today’s larger commercial brine valves demand higher brine draw and refill rates. -
Page 20: Backwash Flow Control
KineticoPRO offers two (2) Smart Start controller models: • Base Smart Start: uses mechanical actuation to measure water usage and initiate regeneration. KineticoPRO modifies the mechanical meter from its original configuration to allow it to interface with the Base Smart Start controller. -
Page 21: Brine Drums
HS Series Owner’s Manual Some features and benefits: Salt Fill Line • Uniquely shaped for extra hardness removal • Virtually 100% water soluble, minimizing brine tank clean out • Helps prevent mushing, bridging and channeling • Designed to keep softeners clean and trouble-free The frequency of salt replenishment is based upon usage and size brine tank in use. -
Page 22: Remote Meter
Slowly turn counter-clockwise until the actuator has advanced the “Indicator” arrow to the “BRINE” position, about 10°. At this point, the flow of water will be audible. This indicates a successful regeneration initiation has occurred. If water flow is not heard, contact a KineticoPRO professional . Override Actuator... -
