Water conditioning systems require regular check-ups to ensure that the system is performing as they should.
We start every service call with a water test for that reason. The frequency of regular maintenance depends on your water source, water quality, type of system, and water usage amount.
Generally, with Kinetico systems on city-provided water, filters will need to be changed once a year and salt will need to be added 1–3 times throughout the year.
On well water, the average filter change on a softener is six months, while salt is added 2–4 times.
Additionally, media may need to be cleaned, replenished, or replaced periodically. For example, our dechlorinator, designed to remove chlorine from city water, will need to be re-bedded on average every five years.
Annual sanitization of your drinking water system is also highly recommended.
Kinetico systems are designed to last. Although there is regular maintenance like other systems, the benefit of having a Kinetico is 10, 15, 20 years or more. When other systems have long given up and been replaced, your investment will still be running strong.
