How to bypass kinetico to the backyard water hose?
@toddfiller4631Ай бұрын
If your install team did it correctly they would have had hard lines running to those outside faucets and a separate hard line running to your kinetico.

We just installed one for whole house. Unfortunately, there are some gray particles in the water, coming from fiteration system. I am worried what they are. What side effect they might have.

I had a whole house RO system installed, for a well system, spent $20k. It's been 3 yrs and I'm always having issues. Biggest issue is the company that installed the system, no longer offer whole house RO systems, the old techs left and no one knows how it works. They got in touch with an old tech to fix my system. But now its broken again. It took 6 months to fix it the first time. Now I'm hesitant to call them again. But there's no one else who knows these systems. I must say, when the system works, I love the water.

We buried our Kinetico tank, rather than keeping it in the garage. It's working well; however, there seems not to be enough chlorine in the water because the toilets get mildew. Help!

There is a drainage pipe that goes to the outside of my house, it has been draining water constantly, what does that do? And why has it been draining water?
@Mottdm Жыл бұрын
Does the drain ever stop? Why system do you have? If it never stops it could be chew up all your media due to it flowing continuously.

You did a okay job explaining the system and how the brine worked from the salt tank to the other tank but you didn't explain the drain valve or I should say line on the other side and how that works kind of disappointing.

A great system that worked well for about 7 years. Subsequently, the automatic backwash became faulty and it was backwashing every hour. The service personnel took weeks to attend to it and now the whole system has failed. The outer body is leaking, the backwash is non-functional and the serviceman missing. A very poor after-sales service for a good system. I am a user in Malaysia.

I just bought a house with an old kinetico whole house water system and my well water inspector said it's junk for the simple reason that nobody will touch them for repairs or maintenance. It looks in pretty good condition but I honestly have no idea. How would I get somebody who's qualified and willing to come take a look at it and do any periodic maintenance on it?

I just got kinetico macrolite backwashing system with the premier series water softener and brine drum with the K5 drinking system. 5 tanks and a brine drum in total. I had heavy ferric and ferrous iron as well as 15x the normal amount of manganese. Had the system for a week and the water is so much thinner and crisp. I’m on a well and my appliance went bad from how bad my water was and kinetico systems fixed it.

It's not. Those handles at the top of the systems have two different settings for which direction the flow goes through. So you can actually set it up either way but you need to make sure you have the level on the right setting for water direction.

@toddfiller4631Ай бұрын
Your water pressure is based on your well pump. These systems don't have pumps on them, just water lines (which means they don't have any electrical parts on them). So get a good well pump and you'll be good.

We have a kinetico plus VX Delux system (13 years old). We change the blue & purple filters as needed, but have never sanitized the system/tank. How do we sanitize our system? The GM system has specific instructions for their's and you can buy their sanitize cartridges. Does Kinetico have something similar? Or maybe a manual showing how to sanitize?

The resin beads at the bottom of your kinetico water softener self clean during the backwash phase. That's what your brine tank with salt is for. However those beads don't last forever. At some point they'll need replacement.

It is only softened. Has reduced iron but probably not other minerals. It will be better water but the reverse osmosis k5 really makes a difference.

Also, can I have the reverse osmosis unit in the technical room, serving multiple sinks or something similar? I don't want installations at each drinking station

you still want a pre-filter to catch the sediment. Over time the sediment will collect and clog the carbon system, shortening it’s service life. It’s better and cheaper to have a pre-filter (whole house filter) to extend the life of the chloramine reduction system that uses carbon.
