Kinetico water softener

We recently bought a house that has a Kinetico water softener system. We noticed that it spits out large volumes of water. I know it discharges water but we’re seeing gallons. Is that normal?

Iso helpful advice

Hi there,

This is the brine tank of my culligan water softener and this is the second time within the last few months its looked like this. I deep cleaned it the first time and it seemed ok for a bit but I just checked my salt level today and found this…. Google ai thinks it is failing resin and possibly components? I’m a fairly handy person but I’m slightly outside of my element when it comes to this so any advice on how to diagnose this and ensure I get the correct solution in place would be appreciated. I’d truly prefer not to pay for a service call and potentially hundred’s if not thousands of dollars to fix this but I am running off a well so it’s essential. Currently I did place the system in bypass.

How to become a Kinetico dealer?

Has anybody successfully switched to selling Kinetico? I'd like to be able to sell and work on these units- but I'm worried about it being "pay to play"

Water softener quote

I moved into a new home a few months ago and when we moved in everything looked spotless. Now that we’re settled in, we’re starting to see some buildup on the faucets, and our bathroom glass looks hazy.

My neighbor said it’s because of the hardness in the water, and referred me to a local company he used. I’m completely green in the space so looking for some guidance.

I don’t have a water test, but the company came out and did some testing. They said we have 11 grains hard, no iron, 3ppm chlorine and 2.5ppm chloramine.

Below was his quote:

4.5x20, 20 micron sediment
10x54, 48k, clack ws1, 10% cross link resin
10x54, 1.5cuft upflow catalytic carbon
Waterdrop 700gpd reverse osmosis

Total package: $3,400 including install and tax

Two questions:

  1. Is this system overkill?
  2. Is this a good quote?

I am in DFW area in Texas if that helps. TIA!
