2020c Compact Water Softener

Non-Electric, Demand Operated Kinetico Valve

More than 30 years of ingenuity are behind the valve that operates the
Kinetico 2020c.The valve uses the energy of moving water, not electric-
ity, so there's nothing to plug in, no buttons to push, timers to set and reset,
adjustments to make and no increase in your electricity bill.Without hav-
ing to depend on electricity, your system is remarkably reliable.
The Kinetico valve measures the amount of water that you use and deter-
mines when to initiate a regeneration. Since it regenerates only on
demand, it won't waste water or salt. Other systems must be programmed
to regenerate at a preset time – usually during the night. So, if you use
more soft water than usual during the day, you may end up with hard
water. And if you use less water than usual, you'll be wasting salt and
water with unnecessary regenerations. But thanks to Kinetico's metering
system, the Kinetico 2020c only regenerates when necessary – at any
time of the day.The twin cylinders (fig. 2) in the Kinetico system ensure
you'll have a continuous supply of soft water, even during regeneration.
When one cylinder needs to regenerate, service automatically switches to
the other cylinder. Twin softening cylinders also enable the system to
clean itself with clean, soft water. Other water softening systems operate
with hard water and use hard water to regenerate.
The resin used in the Kinetico 2020c works extremely well in this com-
pact system.The smaller size creates more surface area, allowing for more
efficient operation.
