Kinetico has been building Non-Electric Water Softeners for over 50 years and remains the benchmark for reliability and efficiency in the residential water treatment industry.

The Kinetico Difference

  • A silver gear with water droplets passing by the side of it

    Non-Electric Operation

    Kinetico Water Softeners use the Kinetic Energy of moving water to power your Water Softener. With no circuit boards or timers, this non-electric model eliminates the additional expense on your electric bill.

  • A silver gear with water droplets passing by it with five different sized gears underneath it

    Metered Regeneration

    Kinetico Water Softeners use a Metered Regeneration System which tracks actual water usage, regenerating only when needed. This reduces the amount of wasted salt and wasted energy, with its watch-like-precision automatically adjusts to your water needs.

  • The water passes through the salt tank and then into one resin tank captioned underneath "cleaning" and then goes to the other tank which is captioned "distributing"

    Soft Water Rinse

    Kinetico Water Softeners use soft water to clean the resin in the units, reducing the amount of salt the system uses and ensuring the resin lasts longer, prolonging the system's life well past other brands.

  • Two resin tanks, one has arrows pointing down and the other shows arrows pointing up showing how this softener reverses the flow.

    Counter-Current Regeneration

    Unlike most Water Softeners, Kinetico Water Softeners reverse the flow of water during regeneration relative to the service direction. This preserves the cleanest portion of the resin for final polishing and reduces salt and water consumption compared to conventional downflow systems, prolonging the life of the unit.

Available Models: S150XP | S250XP | S350XP | S550XP | S650XP OD
(Multiple tank sizes to match your household size and water hardness level)

The Premier Series is Kinetico's flagship residential Water Softener and includes everything you need for a worry-free installation.

The Mach Bypass Kit features a single-handle, colour-coded bypass valve (red = off, yellow = bypass, green = in service) that makes troubleshooting and isolation simple for any homeowner or technician. It can also reverse inlet and outlet flow for a cleaner, more flexible installation.

  • Twin-tank design: always one tank in service, one regenerating; never without soft water

  • Metered, on-demand regeneration with no scheduling delay

  • Counter-current regeneration with soft water rinse: less salt, less water waste

  • Mach Filter pre-filtration kit included
