Kinetico Water Filtration System Installed Video

Bob meets up with plumber Ted Moxham and Kinetico rep Dave Krupinski in the basement where Ted is installing a Kinetico water purification system. 85% of all homes in America have hard water, so even though the Medford house has processed city water, it's still important to treat both the hardness and the chlorine content. Chlorine can dry hair and skin and prematurely fade clothes. The Kinetico system can solve the problem of sediment buildup in the pipes. Over time calcium from hard water scales inside the pipe significantly reducing plumbing size and thus lowering water volume throughout the house. This same clogging can also occur inside water-using appliances reducing their efficiency and causing unnecessary repairs. Kinetico's two component whole house water management system can effectively treat these problems. It has a dechlorinator and softener that treats the general purpose water that flows throughout the house and a reverse osmosis multi-stage filtration system that further purifies your drinking water. The water softener uses a regenerant salt that cleans the tank of any residue hardness and then flushes it down the drain. The Medford system also features Kinetico's new Quick Flo tank which speeds up the delivering of water through the reverse osmosis filter Regular maintenance includes periodically putting salt into the system and replacing the pre-filter and the pulse filter on the reverse osmosis system annually.
