Kinetico 2020c compact water softener
Award winning compact, non-electric, twin cylinder water softener
Our best selling water softener the Kinetico 2020c fits discreetly under the kitchen sink.
It delivers soft water to the whole house, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The 2020c was designed specifically for the unique conditions and needs of the United Kingdom.
The 2020c regenerates only when necessary saving you money.
Inside the Kinetico valve, a metering system measures the water being processed and initiates a regeneration only when needed, not at a preset time like other softeners.
Since it has twin softening cylinders, it can regenerate at any time of the day and continue to provide you with clean, soft water. The 2020c automatically compensates for any extra water demands.
How does the 2020c water softener work?
Water is softened through a process called ion exchange. Hard water contains calcium and magnesium ions. The Kinetico water softener uses a media bed of resin beads which holds sodium ions. When hard water passes through the resin beads, the beads attract and hold the calcium and magnesium ions and release the sodium ions. Water without calcium and magnesium is soft.
What does it mean when a softener regenerates?
Regeneration is the way a softener cleans its resin bed. Once the resin bed has exchanged all the sodium ions for calcium and magnesium ions, it must be cleansed so that it can continue to soften water. A brine solution loosens the calcium and magnesium ions from the resin bed and flushes them down the drain. The sodium ions from the brine solution replace the hard water ions on the resin beads so the system is ready to soften more water.
How do I maintain a 2020c?
Simply add more salt blocks or tablets on top of the existing ones.
