Water quality used to be a nonissue. But with pharmaceuticals in water supplies, the effects of chlorine, industrial and biological contamination, an aging water distribution infrastructure and naturally occurring substances that degrade the taste and feel of water. We are all thinking about the quality of our water more than ever. Water quality varies from home to home. Water treatment for one family may not be right for another.

Kinetico Signature Series® non-electric, dual tank water softeners provide soft water all the time, at an economical price.

Selecting the right drinking water system for your home depends on two primary things. Where does your water come from and what is in your water? Kinetico has two types of drinking water systems, reverse osmosis units and drinking water filters. Both are great options for improving your water quality. Most of the systems will work well on city water, but if your home has well water certain solutions are better than others. Contact your local Kinetico water expert to see which of Kinetico’s drinking water systems is best for your home.

Kinetico's PFAS-POU Filtration System is an easy-to-use filter that improves taste and smell while reducing contaminants in your water.

Kinetico's K5 Drinking Water Station® with VOC Guard, our best reverse osmosis system, includes unique features and is customizable to suit your specific treatment needs.

Available duplex basket strainers are engineered and made in the USA. They are fabricated by Hayward Industries, Inc.® or Eaton Corporation®, industry leading manufacturers of strainers and equipment. All duplex strainers come with drain ports, vents, integrated mounted feet and quick removable covers that do not need tools for access. Duplex strainers feature a compact, direct flow through design to promote easier integration into plumbing systems. Changing the active basket chambers for cleaning does not require tools and only requires turning the handle or lever associated with the valve system. The valve system is engineered with a no-error design that features integral stopping points to remove the guesswork in positioning so every maintenance flow change operation can be completed without issue. Available duplex basket strainers for sale include the Hayward® DB Series duplex strainer and the Eaton® Model 50, Model 52 and Model 53BXT duplex strainers. Hayward® brand strainers are ANSI / NSF 61 certified for potable water applications. Eaton® brand duplex strainers are American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) certified for maritime applications. Important features and specifications are outlined below based on the duplex strainer model:

Reverse osmosis is a water filtration process that forces water through a semi-permeable membrane. The membrane has holes small enough to reject anything larger than a water molecule making reverse osmosis very effective for contaminant removal. The process is known for producing water of the highest quality. RO systems are good for both city water and well water.

Kinetico's K5 Drinking Water Station® with VOC Guard, our best reverse osmosis system, includes unique features and is customizable to suit your specific treatment needs.

Kinetico Premier Series® non-electric water softeners are powered by moving water and have multiple tanks for continuous soft water, even during regeneration. These high-flow systems are comprised of multiple tanks, so you'll have a continuous supply of soft, clean water.

A water filter is a device that forces water through a barrier, trapping the contaminants or impurities. The barrier allows only filtered water to exit, leaving you with better tasting, clean water. Water filters normally use a filtration media or a filter cartridge to reduce specific contaminants and impurities. Some water filters will also add minerals to water when they are beneficial for human health. Certain drinking water filters are not meant for use with untreated well water.

Kinetico offers two point-of-use reverse osmosis units, the K5 Drinking Water Station with VOC Guard and the AquaKinetic A200 Drinking Water System.

Professional grade duplex strainers provide continuous filtration and delivery of pipeline process fluids for high throughput and/or vital work applications. Duplex basket strainers are used for uninterrupted media flow in plumbing systems that cannot tolerate temporary shut down when cleaning of the equipment is required. They allow operations that need to be filtered and to run non stop the ability to do so efficiently. Duplex strainers are used to capture undissolved particles such as dirt, debris, scale, sediment, etc. and prevent clogging, dirtying, unwanted reactions or damaging equipment, ingredients, materials or chemicals located downstream within the pipeline. Duplex strainers are effectively two simplex strainers plumbed together and isolated by a three-way valve that controls the basket to receive the fluid flow for filtration. They are engineered where only one basket chamber at a time is ever active and operational. When one basket becomes full, a pressure gauge or other monitoring device can indicate cleaning is required and a simple turn of the valve handle will redirect flow to the empty basket. Duplex strainers are essential to the steady, clean and reliable performance of many industries, products and services. Common work applications for the duplex strainer model include chemical processing plants, power plants, cooling towers and lines, condensers, compressors, marine and maritime applications, oil burners, pumping stations, water treatment facilities, lubrication lines and many general industrial and manufacturing scenarios.

To select basket screen perforation or mesh size, choose a size suitable for the job. A general rule of thumb is to choose a screen size that is slightly smaller than the smallest particle the system is expected to capture. Increasing size value for perforated baskets indicates a greater width for flow area better suited to capture larger particles. Increasing sizes for mesh baskets indicates more wire per inch and a smaller width for flow area better suited to capture smaller particles. Screens can be provided with mesh or perforation style engineering made from Monel®, Hastelloy® or titanium. These non standard options need to be requested.
