Our Water Softeners Are Brilliantly Designed To Work. Period.
How a Water Softener Works
Hard water is softened by removing the calcium and magnesium it contains. When hard water passes through the softening system's resin bed, the calcium and magnesium (hardness) ions are removed through an ion exchange process, so only softened water passes through to your home. Once the resin bed fills up with hardness ions, it must be regenerated (cleaned). Salt is typically used in the regeneration process and restores the resin to a "clean" state so the ion exchange process can begin again.
From multi-tank systems powered by the energy of moving water to a more traditional approach, Kinetico covers all your options. Your local Kinetico water expert will work with you to choose the water softener that's right for you.
