Better water flows from better thinking.
Kinetico whole house water softeners, drinking water systems and water filters
Our engineers put their very best thinking into developing innovations to remove nearly everything from water that isn't water. Such as whole house water softeners powered by the force of moving water instead of electricity. And drinking water systems and problem water filters that achieve incredibly high rates of filtration—equal to or greater than 99.99% microbiologically pure.
Water filtering with your best interests at heart.

As a recent report suggests: Have your water tested!
Recently, water quality concerns have been a hot topic in the media. Much of the attention is on municipalities in violation of federal drinking water standards. Read more from the New York Times. Or, get started with a free water analysis. Your local Kinetico water professional can provide you with all the information you need about your home's individual water treatment requirements.

Water Facts
- Many water pipelines in the U.S. were put in place before 1975. Aging pipes can contribute to drinking water contamination.
- Recent studies show each day an average American uses 100+ gallons of water—that's enough to fill a car's gas tank 7 times.
- The amount of oil used annually to make plastic water bottles is enough to fuel 100,000 cars for a year.
- More than two million tons of plastic water bottles end up in landfills each year. They can take up to 1,000 years to decay.
- Nearly 80 million people in the U.S. depend on well water, which is not regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act.
- Drinking purified water may help protect against the short and long-term illnesses linked to water contaminants.
- Just 1 percent of the Earth's water is freshwater suitable for drinking; the other 99% is salt water or inaccessible.
- Recent research shows that 22% of bottled water tested contained man-made chemicals and bacteria.
- Most bottle water drinkers have no idea where the water came from; bottlers are not required to share the water's source.
- There is no such thing as new water. It's recycled, not created—meaning the water we drink today is millions of years old.
