This was a very helpful instructional video - Thanks Jeffrey. We have had our Kinetico water softener for about 12 years, which is four more than our first non-Kinetico unit. But, I had problems twice (first covered under warranty and the second one cost me $250). By following your instructions I was able to fix my unit, understand how it works, and have confidence again in this unit. One thing that I noticed is that when it is working right and recharging there is a slight "gear sound." When I was having problems (recharging would take close to a day, would recharge almost daily, and occasionally the water would taste salty) that sound was absent. There was a lot of sediment (we have a well) so I need to get a whole house water filter. But, for now you saved the day!

The 2 plastic e-clips were difficult to remove from my system; perhaps the installers used PVC pipping instead of copper; therefore, I discontinued removing the e-clips. Regardless, I was able to proceed with a little bit of water pressure release incident. With your instructions, I was able to fix the "stuck" level one head preventing the cycle. This video saved us a $199 service visit. Thank you so so so so so much!

Thank You, I came home to find my Kinetico was leaking out the discharge hose and in the brine tank. I took the head apart and put it back together and now it's fine.

I have salty water. Did the manual regenerate. Drain line works. I get suction when in Brine/rinse. Any suggestions on what to check next?

my unit sounds like it's sucking air when it's on backwash and it's getting worse. is that a sign of the valve head has a bad seal ?

This is great stuff. Any chance you could create a video showing a complete rebuild?

Great video, and did the level one and two (cleaoned/rinsed/reassembled) as you covered, and it all went well, sort of. The reason for doing this is a complete water pressure loss when in the backwash cycle, but only on the "right" side of the dial (cycle between 3 and 6 o'clock). I can't figure it out - do I need to go a level depper in the stack, or look at the resin tanks?

Great video. I have an iron filter, similar to this softener. One of the backwash modes always stops halfway through until I manually advance to purge mode. The window on the top is almost black. I am assuming that there is stuff in the regeneration gears. What is the best way to really clean them? Should I just soak in citric acid? Should I disassemble the gears completely and clean that way? Does anything need to be lubed with food safe underwater lubricant?

I have a Kinetico System with the Iron remover. It is very clogged with Iron and is not letting very much pressure through. Can I clean the heads without damaging them? Then of course put them back together and have my system working like it used to? Do I ever need to replace the media from years of use? Thanks, Gary

on top of level one the dial is full of mold and debris does this mean it is this bad? or can we follow this for a cleaning? Also we are running potassium in the system when cleaning the main barrel do i add water to it when filling the potassium?

Great video, I have a Quad 50 unit, did the level 1 & 2 clean/rinse/reassemble, but the system doesn't stop after completing a cycle at the 6 o'clock position, you can hear water going through. I can manually move it forward and it will stop. It never stops at the 12 o'clock position. I tried to move it forward to stop it, but it never does. The only time the system will stop is in the 6 o'clock position, and only after I move it forward. Do you know what is causing this? Thanks Dave

I just had my 60 head apart including removing the ceramic disc. It's running right now. Where can I get a service manual and parts? Also, my top disc is a 4, what does that mean?
