The second step in total home water management is ion exchange (cation or anion). A whole-house water softener can help remove dissolved minerals that make your water “hard” and improve its quality. So whether you’re looking to reduce scum buildup, soften your clothes or even be healthier, our ion exchange water softener solutions—using cation and anion exchange systems—can help.
Kinetico ion exchange water softeners efficiently help eliminate harmful minerals and metals dissolved in your water, including calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, lead, radium and more. They operate by attracting minerals and metals in the water to negatively charged resin beads inside the water softener tanks. The resin beads are then flushed of these minerals in a process called regeneration, so the process can start all over again. This critical regeneration process occurs in treated water so the minerals don’t contaminate the equipment, making for a more effective exchange process.
A Kinetico Advanced Water Systems dual-tank softener can deliver even more benefits that you can see and feel, including:
To remove less common and more undetectable contaminants like uranium, nitrates and sulfates, your water softening system can use positively charged resin beads as opposed to the negatively charged beads mentioned above. Even though the charge of the resin is different, the exchange process remains unchanged.
We now provide consumable maintenance and repairs on all water systems, no matter if they’re from Kinetico or a competitor. Our technicians have the expertise to diagnose and fix issues quickly, from strange tastes to optimizing an outdated setup.
