• KINETICO Aquakinetic Q237 SOFTENER MANUAL [PDF] (2010)
  Excerpts from the Manual:
  
  AquaKinetic water softeners are powered by the energy of moving water, not electricity. So there’s nothing to plug in, no buttons to push, timers to set and reset, or adjustments to make. You really don’t need to do anything special to operate your Kinetico water system—it runs itself, not you.
  
  Your AquaKinetic water softener has a built-in water meter which means it operates “on demand” based on your actual water usage. With demand operation, your AquaKinetic water softener can regenerate at any time of the day or night and you’ll still have plenty of soft water available.
  
  It regenerates when necessary, so a simple flush of the toilet or run of the faucet can send your AquaKinetic water softener into regeneration.
  
  Depending on your water usage, your AquaKinetic water softener could regenerate more frequently (if you have a house full of guests, for instance or you’re on vacation). Demand operation ensures maximum efficiency while providing you with a continuous supply of soft water — even as your water usage changes.
  
  The actual regeneration process of an AquaKinetic water softener is different from other systems. AquaKinetic water softeners use a process called countercurrent regeneration (instead of an old fashioned, 4-or 5-cycle regeneration) which has long been recognized as the optimum process for regenerating a resin bed.
  
  The AquaKinetic is able to effectively use this process since our water systems regenerate with soft water. The twin tank design of an AquaKinetic water softener provides you with a continuous supply of soft water any time of day, even through the regeneration process. When one tank needs to regenerate, service automatically switches to the other tank.

Manual Regeneration Cycle on a typical Kinetico Softener

Above: Kinetico Model 2030 Softener Manual Regeneration Illustrations. Below: Excerpt from the manual:

If your salt storage tank does run out ofsalt, you can manually regenerate the unitafter adding salt, or you can wait for it to gothrough regeneration automatically.

Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, push downfirmly on the softener valve screw (Fig. 4) and slowly turn clockwise until the actuator has advanced the indicator dot to the"BRINE" position (Fig. 4).

You should hear at least five "clicks" while turningthe screw before the indicator dot reaches the "BRINE" position.

At this point you should hear water begin to run through the system. If you do not hear water running through the system, the indicator dot has not been advanced far enough. Repeat the procedure for manual regeneration after the water flow stops (11 to 90minutes, depending on the model) to be sure both resin tanks are regenerated.

Note: If your hot water tank has refilled with hard water, it may take severaldays for it to empty and for your water to feel soft again.

Typical Bypass Valve on a Kinetico Softener

Manual excerpt:

There may be times when you need to shut off the water supply to your entirehouse. To do this, set the by-pass valve to the RED, "OFF" position. No waterwill flow through the house.

To restart the water, set the by-pass valve to theGREEN, "IN SERVICE" position.

You may put the softener into by-pass at anytime, if necessary, by putting the by-pass valve into the YELLOW, "BY-PASS"position.

You will still get water throughout the house; however, all of the waterwill be untreated. To return the softener to service, set the by-pass valve to the GREEN, "IN SERVICE" position.

Watch out: because hard water will leave scale deposits that can clog hot water pipes, water heaters, and other equipment, it's not a good idea to leave your water softener in bypass-mode longer than necessary.

How & When to Add Salt to your Kinetico Water Softener

Kinetico Model 2030 Softener Manual Excerpt (from the Kinetico Model 30 Concept manual given above on this page).

Adding Regenerant (water softener salt or potassium chloride)

Make sure your salt storage tank never runs out of regenerant. Refill regenerant any time before water is visible in the brine drum or softener cabinet (on cabinet models).

Use Kinetico Water Softener Salt, available from most Kinetico dealers, or another quality brand. Some salts contain foreign particles which can cause problems with your system, so be sure to use a quality grade of salt, processed especially for use in water softeners.

If you choose to use potassium chloride,contact your local authorized Kinetico dealer to find out about the recommended adjustments to your system. Your Kinetico dealer can also recommend or perform a schedule of periodic maintenance.

DO NOT USE ROCK SALT, as it oftenc ontains significant levels of dirt or foreign matter.
