Kinetico Mach Series Backwashing Filters

Commonly Asked Questions

There has been a drop in my home's water pressure.What can be the cause?
A reduction in your home's water pressure can indicate that the filter is in a
backwashing cycle. Normal pressure should return when the cycle is com-
plete. If not, contact your local, authorized Kinetico dealer.
My system seems to be backwashing more frequently. Is this normal?
Remember,your Kinetico system is demand–operated,adjusting automatically
to your water usage. If you do not think that your water usage has increased
due to extra house guests, additional laundry or some other reason, check
for any leaky plumbing, dripping faucets or running toilets; all of which can
contribute to more frequent backwashing.
I can hear my Kinetico system running or backwashing during the day. My
old filter only used to run at night. Is this normal?
Single tank, electric water filters are set to backwash at night because of the
unavailability of filtered water during the backwash process. Unlike tra-
ditional water filters, Kinetico systems operate on demand based on your
water usage, without timers or electronics. So your system backwashes
whenever necessary, at any time of day. And Kinetico's twin tank design
allows one tank to provide treated water while the other backwashes, so
you'll never be without filtered water.
How will I know when it is time to change the filter media?
Generally, the media in your filter needs to be changed when the original
water problem returns to the filtered water. Depending on water usage and
water conditions, the media could last for several years.
If at any time you feel your Kinetico water system is not operating properly, put the
system in by–pass and call your local, authorized Kinetico dealer.
