    We had Kinetico's water softener before at another house. We installed it here because we liked it. We're very pleased with it.

    I chose Kinetico because where I live, we had hard well water. The company, TLC, was very nice. But they didn't tell me that when they rated whatever size I needed, they gave me the one that was too small. It was at the top of what it could handle. I needed something bigger. I had to pay more, and they reinstalled a bigger unit. I wish I knew more about the system. I have to call a company to come out to make sure that everything is running okay. That would be something that they could have taught me. I just wish that they would have gone over. I know to clean out the water, the salt and everything, but I would like to be a more aware of how to adjust it if I had to or just to make sure it was working correctly. Other than that, I had a softener before but I had a lot of spots on my dishes. I don't have that now. And the water is much softer.

    We replaced an existing softener. There was a device that tends to get crusted up with salt. If it’s jammed, then it doesn't soften, so I have to maintain that and pour hot water to get it out, and make sure the float valve is loose and that cylinder isn’t encrusted. And after I fix that, then it’s fine. Kinetico is great at installation. But in a rural area, it cost an arm and a leg for any service and maintenance so you're on your own once you buy it and have it installed.

    I heard about Kinetico from word of mouth from a friend who had one. I also heard it was good based on reviews. Not many negatives, other than a higher price point, but we're paying for the quality. The installers were helpful. Kinetico has been a great product. I'm glad we purchased. Our water is definitely much softer, not getting all the buildup on all the faucets, and of much higher quality.

    I've had a good experience with Kinetico. We needed both a filtering system to drink and we wanted a water softener. Our skin was very dry. I'm very happy with Kinetico and the filters that we have. They still come and replace filters. I cannot recommend Kinetico enough. I can tell when I go somewhere else and I wash my hands, it's a big difference. Sometimes when people come over to my house, I don't even have to explain, they notice immediately.

    I found somebody who works on filtration on the water system and the guy sounded like he knew what he was doing. He changed mine up and put his own filters in there. At the time, I was ready to get it changed, then he mailed the Kinetico equipment to me, and I put them in myself. Everything's cool and the water is all right to me. We drink it all the time, cook with it, and give it to the dog.

    We've used Kinetico since I was a kid and since the water here is bad, we decided to get their water softener series and the drinking water system. The sales rep we dealt with was great. Then, there was an install guy who wanted to drill holes in our brick and that wasn't the right thing to do. Then, somebody else came and figured out something else to do. We also put it in a carbonated water system and Kinetico's reps helped out with running that through the drinking water so half a side’s carbonated, half a side’s filtered water. Other than that, I had some trouble getting ahold of people for a while. We had to buy something additional and I had trouble getting a callback. But it hasn't been a problem in the last two years. Also, the price has gone up a bit for the yearly maintenance. But there's never a little breakdown in the products, they do great work, and everybody seems nice. Using Kinetico makes a difference in our water, too.

    The system was installed August 2019. The first strike was a few weeks after the system was installed. I discovered the salt water brine had been draining into the crawl space under my house. I ended having to go to Lowe's to buy tubing to run the drain line to the appropriate pvc drain on the other side of the water heater. The pvc pipe on the side of the water heater turned out to be a vent.

    Strike 2 was a few months after the system was installed and I upgraded the kitchen faucet where the cold water line was split off made it overly complicated to install the new faucet with standard compression fittings. Strike 3 I was led to believe there was little to no interest on the financing option if it was paid off within a couple years. Later I found out I was actually getting charged $20 a month in interest. Had I known that would be the case I would not had the system installed in the first place. Your mileage may vary but this was my experience.

    It was a positive experience with the lady who came and sold the Kinetico system to us. When it was put in, I noticed the difference right away because I have a beauty salon in my home and my water was orange. The system was absolutely fantastic because I was ready to have to quit work because the water was that bad. The system was very good and new water lines have been put in so our water isn't like it was before. Kinetico is not cheap and it's not cheap buying their filters. And now that our water is way better, we do not have to change our filter as much as we did. It's very good that way but with the cost, they could do a complimentary check on their water a year after they put it in. I was thinking if our system is still what we need, being we don't have the terrible water anymore.

    Kinetico is great. They come out once a year and change the filter for me. The filter's really dark when they change it so it's doing what it's supposed to and seems to be doing it with less effort on my part. I have a hard water problem here and it wears on the faucets. They have to be replaced more often if you don't have something filtering the water. My hot water heater was also having to be replaced more often.

    We live in a rural area in eastern Tennessee and we have well water so we knew it would have to get treated at some point. Kinetico looked like they had a pretty good handle on how to deal with that. They came up here and made a presentation. Based upon that, we decided to buy it. The price was a bit high and the installation took a little longer because they got lost coming up here. But other than that, it went through smoothly. The customer service is fine. When they say they’re gonna be here, they get here. I have them come by once a year to check out the system but having a tech to come up here for that is $300. That's starting to get on the steep side. There is also a bit of a problem we haven't seemed to be able to get fixed and that is the white residue on the faucets. It's like a calcium deposit. We have these bronze faucets and they show up pretty prominently.

Everything went really easy when I purchased the system from Kinetico. The sales rep came out and checked the water at the house and talked with me about the systems. When I decided to go with them, we scheduled that and then the install crew came out and they did a nice job. They ran some water piping for me a little bit differently to clear up my wall. It took them about two hours and they got everything set up and running in. Now, the water's been cleaning faucets and everything from the lime and calcium buildup. Kinetico is expensive though.

    You have usually hard water with well water and hard water's not great for your house. We were checking out several types of companies and Kinetico was one that was close by. We kind of compared them with Culligan and I liked what Kinetico was offering better. It's not based on electricity. From what I understand, this one works on its own. If there was a power outage, we wouldn't have to be concerned about it starting back up again. The price is always more than what you want to spend but maintenance-wise, it wasn't going to require a lot. Also, it's not supposed to use so much salt so that was another thing we liked.

    With Kinetico, it's easier to keep the shower cleaner. We don't need as much soap because I can use a lot less soap in the laundry. We use less products to clean things. We had them do a setting that was reasonable so it's not like we feel slippery all the time. I didn't want to feel like I could never get soap off my hands and I don't feel like that. It is different than the way it was with hard water because you really feel dry quicker with hard water.

    I had reviewed at least three systems and we had the demos performed at home. The main driver for landing on Kinetico would be three things. One is there is no requirement for electricity so it operates on its own. Two is the amount of water it takes to recycle itself is very small compared to other units. Three is the warranty. The others got five years limited warranty whereas Fred, the local franchise owner, told me that Kinetico carries about 10-year warranty which is something that was really enticing.

    I got a concern about that warranty piece though. When they installed the under kitchen cabinet unit, it seems there was wrong installation so there was a break on the unit. It started dripping water. It took about a couple of years before the problem could surface. When we complained, they came and replaced the unit but I had to pay almost 300 bucks covering the labor cost. When they agreed that the installation itself was too tight that led to the breaking of the product, I don't know why I should be paying for the labor cost. If it is a product issue, I get it. But even if it is an installation issue, either Kinetico or the local franchise owner should have absorbed that because it's not my fault. They confirmed they didn't see any usage issue that led to the problem and they didn't see any manufacturing defect.

    Kinetico could hold their local dealers accountable. I did reach out to Kinetico about this and they raised their hand saying that I needed to go talk to the local franchise. I went for this thinking that it's Kinetico that I trust more than the local franchise agents or the owners but that's where they let me down.

    I had my Kinetico system for four years. It was expensive but it was great. I included it with the sale of my home and ended up going with Culligan which I'm happier with because their salt tank is so much larger. Also, Culligan offers something like a rental and my ROI factoring in the rental price for Culligan at 50 bucks and month was 10 years if I buy a Kinetico. Even all the maintenance is included. So, I can rent a complete replacement for the system I sold. Unless you know for sure that you're gonna keep your home for over 10 years, buying a Kinetico system is kind of stupid to do. With Kinetico, you also pay $100-something for a filter and every couple of years, $600 for a resin change. When I rent, I don't have to pay for any of that.

    Kinetico is really, really good. I can call Lisa and she'll have her man out to do whatever needs to be done. I haven't had any problems with the system I got from them except for when it wasn't doing the job it was supposed to 'cause I had them set it to where it wouldn't use so much salt. I called Lisa back and said that they need to reset my system. She then had a man out who did that. I live in a lime-based area and everything is plugged up with lime. Since I've had my Kinetico water softener, I don't have that problem anymore and my water tastes really good. Go see Lisa. She knows what to do.

    We have some different wells. Some are not as hard as others, but some have a bit of limestone in them. Everything works better if you take limestone out. I took out Kenmore and put in the Kinetico. I contacted, and then the installer made arrangements. The installer did a fairly quick, neat job. He had to take all the old system out and put the new in. But it was a pleasant experience.

    I was after having soft water consistently. The biggest problem is if you let it run out of salt, then I notice it. I have two different systems. One from my shop, one from the house. The one here in the shop, I might go several months. In the house, it's more like once a week. Kinetico is the best, but it's also going to cost the most. Some days, had a residential situation, we would use very little water. And other days, a large amount. So, it was an old system. On the days of large use, I felt like it was underperforming. With Kinetico, it's fairly consistent, straight across.

    Hi Daniel,

    Yes, Kinetico softeners are designed to meet your water usage needs. If you don't use the water, they don't waste salt and water with unnecessary regenerations. If you use more than normal, they regeneration process automatically adjusts to insure you have no hard water break through.

She has the wholesale at the store, so we usually get the distilled water. We have the well too. She has been great the whole time. I still go over to her and talk to her. Mountain Home is in a mountainous area and it's a karst geography, which means that the groundwater is saturated with calcium. Some places are worse than others. Getting a water system was the logical thing to do. Our well already had one and we thought well, “Hey, why not get another one for the home?”.

    The plumber came, had all of the equipment all set up and ready to go and did the plumbing. He was out of here about an hour. Kinetico makes great soft water.

I did some research and settled on Kinetico. It seemed to be one of the more popular brands out there. Working with Kinetico was great and it was painless. The company that we went through when we purchased the system set up an in-house payment plan for us when we moved in because we didn't have the funds available. I was extremely pleased.

    The crew did a great job with the installation and the routing of the water lines that they had to redo. We had the softener put in and we had the in-sink filtration as well.

    I wasn't really satisfied with the Culligan system that we were using. We were going through too much salt and it didn't seem intelligent to recycle the filters, whether we were using it or not. Instead of a timer, we're going on gallons used. Culligan and Kinetico are the two big ones in the industry for residential use. Kinetico was the only system I knew that recycled on gallons used rather than electric timers.

    We've always had a water softener and they both work fine. But Kinetico makes so much more sense economically and physically. Their service is fine and their salt is reasonably priced. You don't need near as much salt as you would with Culligan. You go on vacation and the Culligan keeps recycling because it's on an electric timer. You come home from a six-month vacation and you wouldn't have any salt in your filter system. You'll go through a couple of hundred gallons of water too. You'd have hard water and probably algae in the bottom of your sink. Whereas with the Kinetico, it just sits there if you don't use it. And when you turn the tap on, it recycles the filters every 250 gallons.

    I wouldn't think of going with any other company unless I knew more about it. But I trust our local vendor here and I know him personally. I trust their product and the service is great. Lisa owns and operates the Kinetico here. I called her up and she made an appointment. She came out, checked out the system we had, and said, "No problem." She came out with one of her plumbers and in a half an afternoon, she fixed our system. They did a great job. They were quick and good clean up. They took care of what we needed and sent me a bill.

    We first purchased the Kinetico a number of years ago. We've had about three different Kinetico systems. As far as this specific system, we got it based on previous experience. It is a combination of the softener and the whole-house charcoal filter, and then a reverse-osmosis. We had it installed right when we moved in. What we've seen before is the softer water and improved taste with the RO system and the elimination of mineral deposits. I have appreciated the fact that with the dual-tank system, we're not running out of soft water, not having a particular time of the day when it recycles that you know that you're without soft water.

The installer came out and the installation was super fast. He was great and he knew what he was doing. Asta wanted to make sure everything was fine after it was installed and the only thing I had to learn was replacing the filters.

    I was probably told in the beginning but I didn't realize there are certain filters that can stay in there for five years and there are those that need to be replaced every year. So, it was trial and error on that part. I would recommend that Kinetico make sure that people understand that and have a record of it. My kids love the water since we bought the system and I would highly recommend Kinetico. The product is great and the experience was pleasant and efficient. If they had a system down, the salesperson would come out and then a technician, and then a salesperson would follow up. Everyone was nice. It’s way better than buying a car.

    I wanted a water softener but not some of the ones online that claim that they could run electricity through the wire and some magic would happen. The reviews that I read said that those were sketchy at best and showed that being electrical, they had a little CPU board and that board tended to be what would go out. Then, it was almost like buying a whole another unit just to replace that one board. Kinetico had a simple water softener system. People seemed to know what they were talking about when they came out here and aside from fitting into the space that I had, it didn't require any power, which was the main reason why I chose it.

    Kinetico is all mechanical. It’s just how much water runs through the unit and it automatically does it. We had an incident in my city where the underground water was contaminated with PVCs. Kinetico was the only one who could filter that out. They had a reverse osmosis plus a special filter to filter those out, plus another filter to add back in some minerals. That convinced me because at that time, my grandchild was living with me. I have bottled water service deliver water for drinking but for all our cooking needs such as boiling spaghetti and making his milk, we use that water. We also use it for making espressos in the morning. The system is quiet and the installation was professional. So, I have no concerns or complaints about what they've done.

    We’ve been using the water softener for closer to five years because at one time, I was renting it and then I decided to buy it. Then it has been at least two years with the reverse osmosis system with all these filters. I have not had to replace a filter yet. It's got a little indicator and then, I'm supposed to contact them and pay them $75 per filter. The last time I looked, it was only halfway to being time for it to replace its filters. I assume that one day, the unit will cease to work and then I'll have to contact Kinetico. They're expensive but they work. They do what they say and I have not had a single issue.

I had their people come out and check my filters and do everything. %hey had come out twice prior and they never said anything. Then a new guy came out and asked if it was all that I had. I said yes and he said that it wasn't enough for the size of my almost 4,000 square-foot house. And I paid $2,800 for it. He bet that I was still having hard water and seeing calcium. I told him that I still did because I replaced the faucet and I saw it.

    Kinetico ended up bringing a sales guy back out and they ended up upgrading it to a system. It was nice that they upgraded my system and gave me the full credit for what I paid for on the old system. But how many of my piping, my tubing, and my faucets have been ruined? How much of that shortened the plumbing life of my house? But, that was my complaint with them. The Kinetico service techs charge $250 to come out, change the filters, and do whatever they do. It's a little bit high. It's sad that if you're a customer of theirs that they charge that much to come out and do a service. My husband has now told me that I'm not to have them come out and do it.

    Water softeners and filtration systems are something that I grew up on and I always preferred having them for my water. I learned about Kinetico because it was one of the service providers in my residential area and and I purchased the water softener and water filtration system from them. I did the free testing and it confirmed the reasoning for why I wanted to install a water softener. After that, the installation was a one-day process, which took a couple of hours, but it wasn't a nuisance. The installation team was good and respectful, too. Since then, my water’s softer and my drinking water is much cleaner. I can tell the difference, especially when I go out to a restaurant or go to some other place outside of my home.

    But I've had maintenance issues on my system. Each year, I have to pay to swap out filters and cartridges on my water filtration system and softener, which runs a couple of hundred dollars each year. When I first signed up, I didn't know that that was going to be a recurring cost and I thought that when I installed it, that was a one-time fee and I was pretty much done. All I had to do was just maintain salt in the water softener and I thought that was only my expense. But I learned afterwards what the maintenance fees are for installing something like that and maybe it wasn't explained clearly upfront. So, I wasn't happy about that because I know other systems don't require yearly maintenance.

    I've also had two different issues where I've had to have repairs on my systems. One was covered under warranty but it still did some damage to my cabinet. The second one was a manufacturer defect and I wasn't charged for the product to repair, but I was charged for them to come service it. For me to pay out of pocket for that seemed kind of ridiculous and I tried to escalate that issue with the managers. Also, I paid more than $5,000 for the equipment and when I'm spending that much money, I would want quality and the product to last a while without having to break down. But other than that, the system works and the quality of the water is topnotch.

A lot of people down here were catching cancer and different types of things. Pets were dying of cancer left and right. We were not to drink the water.

I found Kinetico. I researched them online and they had some really good reviews.

    Kinetico worked well. We had peace of mind knowing that we were not drinking something that was gonna cause us cancer. That was satisfying. Plus, our water tastes so bad that the reverse osmosis made it taste a lot better. The customer service was really good and I liked them. But we only had Kinetico for two years then we installed a different one. Kinetico is too expensive. It's okay for people that make 60,000 a year. But when you're living on social security, you can't afford the prices for the filters. It's $500 for them. After that first year, I was said that the next time the filters came, we would get them but we were gonna look at getting a system that didn't cost a lot and the yearly maintenance on it wouldn't be so pricey. Also, we couldn't rely on the guys that would come out to do the filters for Kinetico to be there the day or the time they said they would be.

    Another thing is things didn't go as the rep told me. He told me one thing and the price was another thing. I was not told that I had to pay for this and this. The system ended up costing me a fortune. The water system I got now works just as good. When I changed over to this one, there wasn’t any change in the water flavor.

    I had issues with the quality and taste of the water at my house. A friend referred me to Kinetico and I purchased a home water softener from them. Things went fine when their techs came out. People should make sure they speak to someone who understands their situation when they get Kinetico. They should also make sure the reps explain how to care for their water softener.

    We had a lot of white hard scale on a lot of our faucets when we moved to Parker. I had other water softeners in the past. One of them was great but it was a lot pricier. We looked through several different places and my husband found Kinetico. We did some research and read reviews. The price coupled with the reviews made Kinetico a better choice than the other stuff out there. We didn't want a traditional water softener with the salt pellets. So far, Kinetico has been the best deal for the money. We had already done our own water test but we did the one for Kinetico as well.

    We always had to have a softener because of the water quality. We replaced a very old water softener. Kinetico is local, in the town next to us, so I called them. They came out and showed me different options. We got the system that has the two 40-gallon tanks. It just recycles as it needs instead of every night. We've had issues with our drain field. With the old system, 90 gallons, every single night it was going. Now, this only does whatever it is, whenever it needs. So when there's fewer of us here or we're not using as much water, we're out of town, it's not constantly recycling water. That was really important to me, that it's not constantly using my drain field. I really liked the people I dealt with when they came out and showed it to me. The people who installed it were also really nice. It was a good experience with Kinetico.

    We knew our water was really hard. I'd gone through a couple of different units, and several times in between we’d stopped it. Then we decided we needed to get one. We found Kinetico and it seems to be working fine. The thing is we never hear from them to come and set up a change of filter. They say that if we have any problems, we go online. Well, they could contact me personally and set up an appointment even once a year. Then other than an email, they should tell us how it's going. Other than that, it's fine.

    I could really tell a difference in the soaps and the creams that I use for laundry and for getting the stains out. They came out a lot better. Then in our hands and our body, the water felt smoother and not so dried out. Dishwashers, the same way. I use a rinse agent, but I don't have to add it very often, maybe once every six months. It just goes for a long time. So, that's getting our dishes clean and smooth, and not bumpy and streaked. The product is really good.

We moved to a different house and found out that they had a different water softener and we tried it but the water was awful. We had nothing but problems with it. We had it totally taken out, we redid our pump house, and we have Kinetico again.

They call us a couple of days ahead of that appointment and ask if we're ready.

The installer was very nice too. He set the tanks in place. I have two big tanks plus a salt tank. It also has a filter built into it. I went ahead and did the final piping to it, the water inlet and outlet. For doing the work, he gave me one of these large filters for the outgoing water. I go down there and buy the filters that I need. You'd call him up and tell him what you wanted. You'd knock on the door and they’d open the door and hand the filters to keep things going. Then they’d send you a bill and you’d send it off and pay it.

    I recommend the unit to anybody that I talked to. I’m very happy with it. What I like about it is there’s no electricity running it. There used to be a company here called Sunnyside Soft Water.

Also, I had two other companies come out and they were quoting systems that were not as elaborate as this one and they were terribly a lot more expensive. I got the one with the four mini tanks. I understood on the two-tank system that there were periods where you would not have the softener and that's why I went with it. I was also putting a tankless water heater in at the same time, that was the main reason I wanted the softener.

    I've had the Kinetico softener for three or four years and I have no problems with it. My wife said of all the improvements I made in this house, that was the best one. They come out yearly. There's a small filter that needs to be changed out every year. This year, I had them change out the charcoal in the tanks itself. They're good about following up on maintenance and servicing.

    We had the reverse osmosis drinking water system installed in our home approx. April 2019. We’ve had the dealer out to investigate, repair and finally replace the system. We often had a dry spigot. We had NO drinking water often. This occurred about every 3 months. Finally they replaced The system. Here we are about 3 month after the system was replaced and AGAIN, we have no drinking water. However, this time the water dribbles out of the spigot. It took 14 monitors to fill half a pot of water to boil spaghetti noddle. That is unacceptable. I called the dealer on Friday but it was just after they closed for the weekend. I left a message and hope to hear from them on Monday. We are very frustrated as this was a large expense.

    We moved into a new home and Kinetico came and hooked up our old system to our new house. I'm a big believer in Kinetico. It's a great product. It's the best out there. Here where I live in Tennessee, there's a lot of rock in the water. There are also high levels of chlorine in the water. Kinetico lets your appliances and clothes last longer and it's better for your skin when you take a shower. You definitely tell a difference when you wash your hair. It's an investment for the maintenance of your home. I like it. The dual system they have uses less water and less salt. I wish I had asked about drinking water system but we're gonna do that later down the road. We sold our drinking water system in our last house. We had a K1 which was fantastic and we're gonna get another one.

    The only complaint I had was they showed up two hours late and they didn’t call me. A little timeliness is an improvement, or at least call the customer if you're not gonna be there on time. I've been in sales for many years. If I was gonna be late for an appointment, I made sure that my customer knew about it. Other than that, they came the day they said they would.

    Where we're getting our water from, they switched to getting water that's mined out of the earth so it was fine calcium and magnesium. It was causing all my appliances to clog up every three months so I decided to do something. I got Kinetico's K5 water reverse osmosis system and we have a water softener system with them too. It's got charcoal with it so it's a filtering system. We've had good tasting water from the reverse osmosis system. I've dealt with them yearly to get maintenance and I've had no problems.

    We chose Kinetico because it was non-electric. We're on well water and we have a lot of lines. We don't have hard water so much but we had sediment in it. It would build up in my washing machine and hoses. They have those little screens on them but it was just too much. You can pull the washer out to change it every now and then. We thought of trying Kinetico and got a system for the whole house. We have had those little filter things that you had to change every month. It was terrible. That didn't work so we went to this and I researched a lot of our water softeners.

    When the guy came out, he convinced me and said it hardly won't use any salt at all. But we use a lot of salt. They've been out several times to fix the unit. They've replaced the whole head for the unit the last time they were out but we still have the same problems. It's a hit and a miss. One day, the water's good, but the next day, it's nothing. It's that drastic. I wouldn't recommend them at all. We're looking for another water softener now. I'm just tired of going with this. There wasn't any bad reviews on this company and that's a bad sign. They're taking them down or there's no place to put one.

    They changed the filters one time and I've had no real issues with the system. The water is excellent. The softener part has definitely taken the mienrals out of the water or diminished their effect on other surfaces. The purity of the water coming out of the filtration system is good. I bottle it and take it to my other home for drinking and making coffee. So I'm pleased.

He was cool and he knew what he was talking about. He gives us good information and we felt comfortable with him. We're satisfied with our system. We like the idea of the drinking water with the filtration. That takes a lot of the stuff that I don't want in water out. We were sold on it and that's why we went with it.

    In this area, the water quality is not that bad. But at the time, we had young children and not a big fan of all the chlorine in the water, especially things we would bathe in and shower in. So, I wanted to remove a lot of hard metals from the water, and that was our number one concern. And then, we also have special filters that go into the kitchen for cooking water stuff that add a couple of minerals back and the reverse osmosis and all that stuff so that our drinking water is pure.

    I researched all the other systems. One of them was RainSoft, another was Kinetico, and there were two other ones. I looked up four different companies. And then, I looked at their system, how it worked, what the maintenance on it was, comparing apples to apples sort of thing, and then of course, the pricing on it. Kinetico's technicians have always been very professional. I called Kinetico last year to come and change out the filter, and they charged a fair price. They checked the whole system over and I enjoyed working with them. I referred several people to Kinetico.

    I liked Kinetico's sales pitch. I just wish I didn't buy it at this point. I had concerns with smell and taste. The system has a reverse osmosis on it and four tanks to filter the water. The quality has been better. Kinetico told me the system would take care of all the problems, but I billed in an annual bill to replace the cartridges, which is a bit insane.

    Hi George,

    Just wanted to follow up with your review. We did attempt to reach you by both phone on 10/7 and emailed you on 10/8 to discuss your concerns.

    Based off your review it sounds like your concerns centered more around the filter replacement frequency for your water treatment equipment since in that same review you said your water quality has been better since install. It is normal maintenance required of our K5 system to replace the pre, post, and auxiliary filters every 500 gallons used or annually, whichever comes first. One may liken this to changing your car's oil and filter every so many miles. How often a customer changes a softener prefilter will vary depending on influent water quality and usage. Generally the authorized Kinetico dealers will get a customer on a service and/or filter delivery schedule to make sure filters are up to date.

    We've reviewed your concern with Fred at Aqua Pure Solutions, and he informed us that they visited with you this week and have worked out a maintenance solution moving forward. If you wish to discuss your experience any further with us, you may reach us at customersupport@kinetico.com or 800-944-9283. Thank you for choosing Kinetico!

    We have well water. We saw Kinetico at a home show and we were scheduling appointments after. The sales visit was great but the installation was not. I was really pissed off at them the first year. It took us almost a year to get the system straightened out and get the right size in here and that was a struggle. We had a lot of problems with it and the technician said we didn't have the right system in the first place. But eventually, they made it right. So, everything's fine now and we've been so happy with the system. The system was $10,000. It was just second down from the most expensive. It's a series of a bunch of tanks. We have the water filter system, the water softener system, and the reverse osmosis system.

    We thought we should put in a filtration system because we’re gone a lot and so the water sits in the pipes. Our contractor friend, Jeff, recommended Kinetico. Making the purchase was okay and they were fine. They came out and they did a good job, but the follow-up service is the disappointment. There was no follow-up this year to come change out the stuff for the little system that feeds the kitchen for the ice makers that's there. Then we had a water leak under the house. So I get the plumber out and he said, “I don't know who you bought this water system from, but they never turned it on. Here are the valves that are turned off.” So I said, “Well, are you sure?” I had crawled down in there with him and he said, “This is open. This is closed and these are closed. So there's nothing running through your system.” We haven't bothered with it because I guess if we were living without it, we didn't need it.

    I could have called and raised hell about it, but I didn't because we haven't missed the product. But they should be more attentive. They should follow up. And we were thinking about calling Culligan. They just haven't come change everything out in the house. The last guy who was out really didn't know what he was doing. So, I put some salt in the tanks but never turned the water back on so the bypass was still running.

    I found Kinetico in Home Depot and bought mine 4 years ago. I moved it out of the house I was in and brought it with me to our new home. I had the system disconnected by a plumber at the house because I had to have some work done when I had them and they helped me. I called them and made an appointment. They came out and reset it up in the new home, flushed it, and cleaned it out because it had to sit for about six months before we moved in. They were fantastic.

    The city water here in Murfreesboro’s pretty bad. I had a stainless steel dishrack or a drainer and I could see the buildup on it. Since I had my water system installed, it has been perfect. I didn't put the reverse osmosis piece in that went under the sink but I'm getting the softener for the entire house. I've got tap water and the filtration in the fridge so I don't really need reverse osmosis piece. The water's great. Somebody in the neighborhood was asking about our water system so I took a picture of ours and sent it. I said that it is the best one I've ever seen on the market.

    There was heavy iron in the water so we got a water conditioning combination system from Kinetico. My neighbors had the same kind of system and they had good success with them and it was recommended by the distributor. The appointment was pretty straightforward. They came out, did an analysis of the water, and wrote up a quote of what they thought I would need with a two-filter system and the backwash set up. Then they came out three weeks later and installed it. Their rep was very knowledgeable and the installers were in and out within an hour and a half.

    The taste if you just drink out of the hose is different than when you're drinking the filtered water. It took a while to get used to the new taste to have cleaner water. But we've had a lot less iron in the water. Also, the filtered water on the shower would take longer to get the soap off because it was softer water. In theory, it had to have a little more salt in the water to purify it. We've had the system now for four years. At this point, we've become immune to it. But my wife took a long time to think that her hair was actually clean. She kept complaining about it being oily but that wasn't the situation.

    We had really high mineral content and scale and even glassware would go through the wash and come out gray. After getting piled up, faucets were breaking because of the water. We needed to do something about it and I came across Kinetico first in Home Depot in our local area. They had a thing to get your water tested and the company that was providing the testing was selling Kinetico water softener systems. They did an exceptionally good job and they did it without any cost. They connected everything that needed to be connected and it's been working well. It's simple to maintain. It is fairly low cost because there's very little power used in the system itself. The only thing that requires power is a UV light, if you have that as part of the system. The filters are very easy to clean and change if you have inline filters for it. I've been very happy with it.

All those years, we dealt with calcium deposits and various things. We decided that it was time to put a softener in. The service tech who was assigned is the son of somebody who used to work for me. Over the years, we've been pitched by Culligan but I felt better about the service technician. The only other water softener system that I was ever familiar with went through a regeneration process in the middle of the night and that was never agreeable to me.

    From the online reviews, Kinetico seemed the better choice out of all the systems. Their salesperson came, explained the system, did some water tests, said, "These are the things that I would do for your system." He was very straightforward. I wanted additional testing done and they provided that additional testing. They let me know from the additional testing that I needed additional components as part of my system. They gave me pricing about the product.

    The installation person was a one-person team. Very thorough, spent the entire day at my house and made sure that I was happy, walked me through everything he was going to do. Some of the best plumbing in my entire house was done by this gentleman. I had one concern or one question and he fully addressed it and made sure I was comfortable with the system before he left. So it was, overall, a great experience.

    There was a whole house filter that they put in. I could definitely see that there's sediment coming in. I could see the filters being dirty. The water definitely tastes a lot better. The soap actually rinses out of our hair. The dishwasher works a lot more effectively because the water is softer. The pipes aren't rusting or corroding through because my acidity level on my water is now balanced. There are less maintenance overall and better water quality.

    The one lesson I learned from this is to make sure that you get the most advanced water test you could possibly get. That way, you get all of the components installed when you need them. The filters are readily available. Even the salesperson and the maintenance person made sure to tell me that I could buy them through them or I could get them online and do my own maintenance on the system. I had radon in my water and they needed to put an additional component on my system to make sure that my family was not being subjected to radon in our water. Every year, I pay them to come out and maintain my system. It's a very small cost for a very large peace of mind. I've told a couple of people at work that bought new houses, "Don't buy anything else. Just get the Kinetico because it's basically the Cadillac of water systems."

It has been great for several months now. So, I have no complaints. The installation was excellent. We use the water flow out of Madison, Connecticut and they're very good. After we replaced that tank, our well pump died. So we had them out there and they replaced the well pump. They're good contractors.

    I had one of Kinetico’s systems in my old home for six years before we moved and I’ve had this new one for about a year. The product seems to be high quality. The water would sometimes appear a little bit cloudy some days but when I'm using the system, it is always clear and it tastes better. Kinetico probably could have called me a few weeks later and asked how everything was going. I don't mind not getting calls but if I were them, I might wanna put that in my to-do list. Other than that, everything was fine. They were prompt, courteous and got the job done in a timely manner. So, it was all good.

    I was getting a white film all over everything - the showers, dishes. I couldn't clean anything. I knew I had hard water. I researched and I found there were different types of water softeners. Kinetico had some positive reviews and there were some negatives out there as well. But, there's good and bad in all. One of the main reasons I went with Kinetico was I liked the idea of not having to use any extra electricity to have my water softened. I said "Okay, that seems like a good system and that's something I would like to look further into." They came out one day and it was installed. They brought all the equipment in one visit. They did the piping and they did everything.

    They also did a free water test when they came out to determine how hard the water was and what minerals or things were causing it or helping to cause it, and also identifying if we had high levels of chlorine or other things that don't necessarily lead to hard water stains, but just from a health perspective or taste. Now, the water is great. It's perfectly soft. I have no more issues of any hard water stains anywhere. I've been at other people's houses who have water softeners and I get in their shower, use their water and the water feels weird. It feels oily, where this doesn't feel like that. My water feels like normal water. I would recommend Kinetico and the company that came to install it has stood behind the product and they did everything they could to support it in times when I had issues.

    I did research online. Kinetico got an extremely high rating in Consumer Reports despite the fact that their prices were much higher and price being high is something that Consumer Reports usually deducts ratings for. It impressed me that they got such a high rating and it was disproportionately more money than the other ones in the competition. So, that was what made me look into them.

    Everything was great with my Kinetico experience. The company that I used was responsive. They came out, made a presentation and were able to satisfy what we wanted. We had some things that we wanted that really were things that they couldn’t do, but that was not their fault. They did a good job and they installed in a timely manner. I'm really happy that we got the system. I've been concerned about certain pollutants that I'm aware of in our water supply and many that I'm not aware of. Also, we're both on regimens that we try to drink a measured amount of water and it makes a difference to drink water that's good for you and tastes really good. I couldn't be more pleased. I wish I did this years ago.

    The only issue is it is expensive and there is an ongoing cost of maintaining it. There are other systems that are well under half the price. I don't know if they're as good, but this met our needs in terms of some physical constraints that we have of installation. Also, it works well. I also like that it doesn't plug into anything. If you have a well, that's different, but as long as you have city water with pressure, the system will keep working. I don't regret the money I've spent in any way.

The installer had to come back, but down the line, we realized it had nothing to do with Kinetico. It had to do with the neutralizer that we had, which was a different brand and it wasn't doing its job properly. The unit itself functioned wonderfully.

    I had Kinetico in a different home 15 years ago. Now, we run off of well here and the water is pretty hard in this area. The Kinetico team is good and knowledgeable. However, it seemed like they oversold us the system. We got a much bigger system than we needed. However, the price wasn't terrible, so I'm not too concerned about that. I'm not completely happy with the installation. They could’ve plumbed with copper instead of PEX. Everybody uses PEX now.

    Also, it seemed as though they wanna lock us into a particular installer for a certain area, and I think you're at the mercy of that person in their capability. I understand that business model, but on the other hand, we've dealt with other ones in nearby areas that would've been fairer but we did not understand that we could do that.

    They should give people an option. Get multiple Kinetico people out there. At that point, when you're deciding about Kinetico, it's not so much like Kinetico versus somebody else. It should be Kinetico versus Kinetico. They should be ensuring that they're providing good service and you don't know unless you get somebody else out there selling the same product. But we're absolutely sold on Kinetico. I recommend their product. The product is incredible. It doesn't use power. Most people do not have the desire to spend that much money on water softening or filtration. But people just don't understand having an endless supply of soft water until they live with one of those systems.

    I started out with a distributor out of Charlotte and I absolutely loved them. They were fabulous. I did not have to worry about anything. They tracked when they put the filters in, how long I was supposed to have them. They would send me an email, a text or card, all sorts of things, saying, "It's time to do this, this and this, and we will be there such and such to do it." They took care of the whole thing.

    Then there was a change in the distributorship. Perhaps this territory was divided up. South Carolina was taken away from that gentleman, which was very sad to me. And then I had a heck of a time finding somebody to service me. I finally found somebody in Hilton Head, which is three hours from me. And then, we finally settled down and got a company here in Columbia called Meetze Plumbing. They're in Irmo, which is only a couple of miles down the road, and they've been pretty good. I had to show my honey and insist on one technician because there was one technician who is "The expert" and I flat out told him I don't want them to send anybody else to my house except him, and it has worked out great. He is wonderful and he did a very good job. This was done the year before the new system that we have now. It was two guys that came, and one of the them is the guy that I really like. He is a certified Kinetico installer.

    The only thing is I have to track when it's time for my service. And what happened the last two times was I waited, not really knowing or either losing track, and I waited until the water got to the point where it wasn't producing anymore. So, when it gets to that point, you're basically out of water until the technician can get here and get everything repaired or changed. But other than that, I love the system and the taste of the water. The quality of the water is absolutely superb.

    Our water system is working out pretty well. It's been in place for four years now since 2016. It's just the filters are kinda expensive. They're about $45 apiece. I ended up buying two. I'd like to be able to use those multiple times if that's possible. I get my water out of a lake because I don't have a city or a county water system. I use the Kinetico water system to filter and clean that water. Mine maybe gets a little more sediment and those kinds of things in it than a normal system. That's why those filters are so critical. If I could get them to where I could use them, clean them up real good and then put them back in, that would be a great advantage for me. It'd be cost-saving for me. I'm using a 5-micron filter right now.

    Also, one of the issues I have is the filters that go in the system, which I change out on a periodic basis, are a little hard to clean sometimes. I've talked with the technician at Meetze Plumbing that handles our Kinetico system here in South Carolina and he gave me some cleaner to help with that. We really like Meetze Plumbing but they only have one technician that services the Kinetico systems and he's stretched pretty thin. He's pretty busy. I know who he is because he designed my system, originally, four years ago.

    I like the Kinetico system. It's pretty easy to use and I can do the filter change-out myself. For the other parts, I usually call the technician to come in and do those because it's a little more advanced than I can do. I also like the quality of the system. The previous system that we had in place was installed by a pump company. It was in place for almost 15 years. I would like to think I would get that kind of lifespan on this Kinetico system. The technician said you may get six or seven years out of it, but we'll just have to see how that works.

    I had a technician here this week and he updated or changed out the chemical pump. He's gonna come back next week and maybe take apart the filtration system itself and rebuild the two tanks that filter the water then it goes through the filter part again. He said he wanted to come and do some checks on those. It's kind of a maintenance thing. This is the first big maintenance we've had on that system in the four years it's been in place.

At the time that I had a little kid, I thought probably not good for her two-year-old body to be getting that much. So, I decided to go with an RO system. Kinetico was the one that was recommended at Alaska Pure Water products. They’re also the only dealer and installer of such system in Anchorage. I called up Alaska Pure Water and they came out and installed it for me. Kinetico seems to be a quality system.

    The water that I have is kind of hard and there might have been some calcium. I felt like I was cleaning through a dishwasher. I needed to do something because I knew the water was not very good that was why I went to that direction with the softener. Kinetico was the first store I stumbled on and it was close to where I drive by. I went in there and it seemed like one system that they had was more maintenance-free without the electrical-ish. I kinda liked it. The guy came over and hooked it up, totally easy process. Since having it, I feel a little slicker in the shower when rinsing off. My honey has bleached hair and it might be a little easier on the color of it when she bathes. So far so good.

    We were having trouble with our water altogether. We have high iron content, where we live so we got a larger home system from Kinetico. They have good price and quality. We wanted the best we could afford, but we couldn’t afford probably the very best system. So, we ended up somewhere mid-range, with the best quality that we thought we could afford. We were impressed with the sales rep and how quickly they installed it and how well they knew the system. They went through it step-by-step on how to change the system and when to change and how to change all the filters. Since installation the water has been much better. The smell has gone away. The water is clear however we still get the taste of iron in our water. So, I wouldn’t say it’s completely eliminated but definitely helped.

    My folks and friends have a Kinetico system, and they've been happy with it. I also like the passive energy option, so it’s not going to consume a bunch of power every month to operate. We were in the middle of replacing our dishwasher and buying an actually pretty nice espresso machine for the house. Unless we want to replace these in two years, we probably should do something about the mineral buildup.

    We talked through some different options with the sales rep and for the installation, I paid them a little bit more money to re-plumb some of the water piping in the crawlspace so that our hose bibbs on the exterior of the building didn't go through the water filter. That's because putting salt on plants isn't a great idea. It didn't need to consume salt to wash our car and they were really flexible in that. The installation guys were great to work with. With Kinetico we notice that there isn't a mineral buildup in our appliances so for that matter, it did work. And mineral buildup in the showers and on the glass all dropped off as well.

    The two gentlemen who sold us our Kinetico made us decide to work with them. Since then we bought two more because the product was very good, easy to maintain, and simple to understand. I won’t go with anyone but Kinetico. I’ve got four Kinetico products. I’ve owned one about 15 years ago. I just had my kitchen totally remodeled and I added a K5 to it, which is better for the water softener. I have two houses and I have two K5s now. I feel cleaner water when I use it. In the shower, I can absolutely tell the difference. My pipes don’t have any kind of mineral buildup at all. I also have peace of mind knowing I have highly filtered drinking water.

    My place was new construction and I had to go 280 feet down to get water and it was really hard. The iron and calcium levels are really high. It wasn’t exactly drinkable without something in here. We also don’t have access to city water. I bought a Kinetico, which didn't need power, and my plumber installed it. It’s got a couple of filters and then the softener, and it seems to be working pretty good. With it, I like to drink the water.

    However, I’m not on city water and city sewer and when you have all that salt going into your septic system, it kills all of the bacteria that make a septic system work. You should be really aware of having it pumped more regularly. If you don’t have a septic system, you still have to get rid of your waste saltwater, but you can’t just pump it out or you'd kill all your plants. I don’t know where it would go or if there would be something you can do with that.

    This was my first purchase in my new home. They saw me coming. They sold me this system for $5000 without testing my water; just 6 months later my water smells like rust and sulfur and is hard. South Jersey Water Conditioning has the WORST customer service and I would not recommend them to my enemy. Then to boot the manager/owner called me being very disrespectful and not professional.

    Hi Shannon,

    While we understand that you are not pleased with your experience with South Jersey Water Conditioning, we do want to state that Kinetico has a 40 year history with this company. Through this time they have always supported our brand, image and customers in an exemplary fashion.

    Kinetico and South Jersey Water Conditioning both understand that sometimes it's just not a good fit between a customer and company. For that matter, the dealer agreed that you would be better suited to find a water treatment solution from a different company and removed the equipment.

    Thank you.

    We’ve had Kinetico in the past. I recently purchased a water softener from them because we’ve had soft water in the past and we liked it. And then we moved. The installation went well and the water is softer now. So far, we’re enjoying this one too. I’m glad I did it.

    I have purchased several from Kinetico. Over the years in different houses that we’ve had, I’ve bought at least half a dozen full water softener systems, plus the three canister RO systems. Recently, I just had Jon, their rep in Phoenix, Arizona come. He was, by far, the pushiest salesman trying to upcharge me for a product I did not want. I’m in sales also, but I have never had a guy that was pushier. All I wanted was an RO system ‘cause the home we bought last year had an RO in it, a Palmer system, a good system. I made my point very plain to him, and he came right back around to it twice more. That was when I put my hand up and said, “Okay, enough. All I want is a price on the hybrid system to replace the one that’s in the house.”

    Just from knowing the fella in that short, 20-minute window he was there, I couldn’t believe that he is the face of Kinetico in that whole Phoenix metro area. ‘Cause soon as he left, I tried to find another dealer, and that’s why I called Kinetico directly to see if he was the only dealer down there. I just don’t deal with people like that. So, I’m looking for another system, another brand down there, which I hate to go away from ‘cause I love Kineticos. I’ve had them for lots of years. I used to deal with the Kinetico dealer out of Walla Walla, Washington. It was really good. Then I dealt with Tri-Cities Water Store here in Kennewick, Washington which was great to deal with as well. I also have Kinetico do installations ‘cause they’re so clean with their installations.

    My experience with Kinetico has been fine. They were recommended by my plumber. They were very good when I made my purchase. It was very smooth. The rep came, did an evaluation, and then I ordered it and it was done very quickly. I was very satisfied. The issues that I was having was the effect of the water that I had, what it was doing to my appliances. Water heaters were breaking, that’s why I changed. So far, so good. It’s doing what I wanted to do.

    4040 water softener and K5P RO purchase and install. I was unsure about whether to go with the Kinetico system or a Fleck system from a local plumber. I'm glad I went with the Kinetico. The quality is much higher with the Kinetico. I should mention that I had an existing Kinetico that was somewhere between 15 and 20 years and it still worked, so I knew the Kinetico was quality. Joey, the installer from Kinetico, was outstanding. He was very, very thorough and explained things several times, which I appreciated. I highly recommend Kinetico.

    We were looking for a whole house system that was able to support a 4,000 square foot house and heard about Kinetico from a neighbor. We called them before, but it was not a whole house system and what they gave us were requirements that would've required all kinds of things we weren't prepared to do. But Kinetico was able to meet our needs. The owner came out, explained the system, and the installation went well. It was as described.

    However, I was disappointed that they didn't adequately explain that the routine maintenance required pouring salt into a large container through which the water filters. Initially, we had thought that they would be delivering salt on a periodic basis. By the time we were completed with the installation, they had stopped that service and it has gotten increasingly difficult to find salt pellets in a size that I could manage. Going to Home Depot or the local hardware store, it only comes in 50-pound bags, which is very difficult for me to navigate getting into and out or my car. I just can't pick anything up that heavy and I wasn't prepared for that. But the water is filtered now and is definitely less hard.

    We live in a rural area where we run a well so we kinda pretty much needed a system to help with the water. We got Kinetico's water softener for the entire house and the under-sink drinking water. The installation was really good. The guys were at it for a long time but they did an excellent job and it looked really good. It’s out of the way and fits in well.

    The great thing was the drinking water. There’s no taste to it at all. You don’t have to think or worry if there’s anything that has gotten through the filtration system because it seems like it’s pretty thorough. It helps with cooking and showering too. It’s the first time we’ve had soft water in our house and we’re really happy with it.
