Non-Electric, demand-operated Kinetico control valve

Moving water powers the Kinetico 2020c water softener rather than electricity.

There is nothing to plug in, no buttons to push, timers to set and reset, adjustments to make when the clocks change or there is a power outage, and no increase in your electricity bill. Eliminating the problems associated with electric components makes your water softener incredibly simple to use.

Twin Tanks

24-Hour, Uninterrupted Supply of Soft Water

Unlike less efficient single tank systems, the Kinetico 2020c water softener uses two resin-filled cylinders. One tank is always available to provide soft water while the other either regenerates or waits to go into service.

When one tank needs to regenerate, service automatically switches to the other tank. The tank in service not only provides soft water to your house, but it also provides soft water to the other tank so it can recharge with clean, soft water for optimum results. Other systems operate with hard water and use hard water to regenerate, reducing efficiency and allowing scale to build up on their working parts. The Kinetico 2020c water softener's twin tank operation means that all moving parts operate in softened water, avoiding scale build-up, maintaining optimum efficiency and prolonging the life of the unit.

Demand Operation

The Kinetico 2020c water softener regenerates only when necessary,
saving you money.

Inside the Kinetico valve, a metering system measures the water being processed and initiates a regeneration only when needed, not at a preset time like other softeners. Other water softening systems must be programmed to regenerate based on a guess of how much water you'll use on a daily basis. If you use more water during the day (for example, when guests are staying) you may overrun the system's softening capacity and end up with hard water. If you use less water, you'll be wasting salt and water with unnecessary regenerations.

The Kinetico 2020c water softener regenerates only when necessary, so it won't waste water or salt. Since it has twin softening tanks, it can regenerate at any time of the day and continue to provide you with clean, soft water. The Kinetico 2020c water softener will automatically compensate for any extra water demands.

Single Tank Service/Backup Tank Standby

Never compromise your softening capacity.

Some systems operate with both tanks online simultaneously. Such systems can quickly run out of capacity and leak hard water if they try to regenerate while you're using water. The Kinetico 2020c water softener’s high-capacity softening resin and high-flow valving allows it to provide the higher flows required by today's demanding households and maintain maximum efficiency and capacity with only one tank in operation at any given time. That means you'll have a full tank's capacity standing by should you need it.

Maximum Efficiency

High capacity resins ensure maximum salt efficiencies, saving you money and time.

Maximum Flow

The Kinetico 2020c water softener is engineered to exceed flow rates typically required by today's demanding households. So you'll have plenty of clean, soft water whenever you need it.

Low-Flow Metering

The Kinetico 2020c water softener is able to measure very low water flows to maintain your soft water supply.

If low flows are not accurately detected, a softener will not regenerate when necessary and you'll get hard water in your home. That won't be a problem with Kinetico's expertly engineered water meter, which is capable of measuring even extremely low flows of water.

Automatic Variable Flow Monitoring

Allows accurate metering of both low and high flows so system only regenerates when necessary.

Convenient Salt Options

It's your choice!

Accepts tablet or block salt.*
*block salt not yet available in all areas

Easy-Open Lid

No more fumbling with awkward covers. Makes for easy salt loading. Convertible to "no-hinge" lid in the event installation prohibits hinged opening.

Easy System Monitoring

Top window permits easy monitoring of system status (when installation permits viewing system from top).

Dual-mode installation options

System internals can easily be reversed to accommodate right or left hand installations.

Interchangeable Color Kits
