What Makes Your Drinking Water System Different
is What Makes It Better
Like other Kinetico equipment, the Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station is non-electric
and demand operated. With demand operation, Kinetico systems produce high
quality drinking water, while they maximize water efficiency and performance.
EverClean® Rinse
After shutdown, the system initiates
the
EverClean
which is patented and exclusive to
Kinetico. The membrane's surface is
automatically cleansed with and left
to bathe in clean, processed water.
The system then depressurizes the
membrane. These actions extend
the useful life of the membrane,
enables it to maintain a high level
of performance and prevents
inorganic
migrating into the treated water
during shutoff.
MACguard® Filter
One of the system's most unique features is the automatic shutoff of the
MACguard Filter. ("MAC" stands for Metered Automatic Cartridge.) After 500
gal (1895 L) of water have been processed through the MACguard Filter, it
shuts off (no flow or fine stream) to alert you that the filter is exhausted. The
filter cannot be reset, and no more water can be drawn from the system. This
signals the need to change the prefilter and postfilter cartridges, but more
importantly, it prevents you from using the cartridges beyond their capacity. If
overused, cartridges lose their filtration ability.
PureMometer® Filter Life Indicator
Your system is equipped with the PureMometer (rhymes with thermometer)
Filter Life Indicator so you can tell how much capacity remains in your filter
cartridges. Use the PureMometer to estimate when to purchase replacement
prefilter and postfilter cartridges so you won't be surprised when the failsafe
MACguard Filter shuts down the system.
