Boiling hard water will dissolve minerals and affect the taste and texture of food. Chlorine and chloramine can result in a ‘bleaching’ effect making vegetables look dull and less colorful.
Iron and calcium deposits cause build up in pipes and drains causing malfunctions and breakdowns. Hard water will cause scaling which deposits minerals onto the surface and can drastically reduce the life of a water heater.
We offer a variety of Kinetico commercial water softener systems, from the Kinetico CP Series to the Kinetico Hydrus 3 tank options that meet water demands by providing continuous water flow.
When consistent water purity and quality a must, then it is time for a Kinetico commercial reverse osmosis system (also known as an ‘RO’). Various RO series available to meet your needs.
Spots on glass and flatware caused by hard water are unappealing to customers. A water softener will not only help to eliminate hard water deposits, but it will also help to preserve the life of your appliances and dishware. Without the hard scale build-up, dishwashers run more efficiently, and bathroom fixtures will remain free from rust or film caused by hard water
Iron in water will leave an orange-brown staining in both sinks and toilets. Iron can also cause corrosion to plumbing pipes and faucet fixtures. Having an irregular pH balance of your water will result in blue-green staining around your sink drains.
Water that looks, smells or tastes funny is the primary reason most people turn to bottled water. Kinetico eliminates these real concerns and provides a boundless supply of clean, fresh water that makes teas taste crisp, juices come alive with flavor and a simple glass of water a refreshing delight.

You have dissolved minerals in your water. These minerals are left behind when the air dries your car. With Kinetico, your water is just water, no minerals — so spots no longer form.
You have dissolved minerals in your water. In the wash, these minerals get trapped on the fibers in your clothes, sheets, and towels and also cause detergents to stick to fabrics. As if that weren’t enough, dryers then bake the minerals and leftover detergent into your laundry, dulling the colors and leaving the fabric scratchy and stiff. With Kinetico, your water is free from unwanted minerals — so your towels stay soft and last longer.
Hard water is brutal on appliances. The minerals in it build up inside pipes, sapping water pressure, using more energy and making your appliances work harder and wear out faster. Your water heater, for example, is likely the second-biggest energy user in your home. With Kinetico, you’ll spend 30% less on energy to heat your water, and your appliances will last longer too.
It depends. If you have a private water source, the safety of your water depends on whether it comes in contact with natural or man-made contaminants. One of the many benefits of Kinetico is that our approach returns your water to its pristine state, so you know it’s always right and ready for your family to enjoy.
Water from a municipal supply is generally safe, although it likely contains chemicals that, though are proven to reduce bacteria and viruses in water, can dry your skin and hair and are potentially harmful to consume. It’s also possible that some contaminants may “slip in” through aging pipes en route to your home.
You have “hard water,” dissolved minerals in your water. These minerals are left behind when your dishwasher or the air dries your dishes. With Kinetico, your water is freed from these minerals — so spots no longer form and your appliances stay clean and bright and last longer.
Cloudy, murky or grayish water is usually caused by dissolved or suspended solids. This is also known as “turbidity.” Water can become turbid naturally or from land disturbances such as construction, storms and urban runoff. Whatever the reason, murky water gets in the way of enjoying the water in your home. After Kinetico, your water is restored to its clean, clear self and once again becomes a welcome friend for drinking.
Hard water has dissolved minerals in it, which can leave unsightly spots on hard surfaces like windows, tables, floors, silverware, dishes and glassware. These spots are often difficult to remove. Minerals can also cause discoloration or orange, blue or green staining depending on your water.

Kinetico eliminates these problems and provides a boundless supply of clean, fresh water that makes teas taste crisp, coffee more rich and a simple glass of water a refreshing delight.

Kinetico thoughtfully and completely removes the sources of funny tastes and odors so your water is clean, fresh and enjoyable.
There are two common causes. The first is hard water, which prevents soaps and shampoos from lathering fully and rinsing away completely, leaving a film on your skin and hair. The second cause is the chemicals used to disinfect public water supplies, such as chlorine. When you have Kinetico, these problems stop cold, and your hair and skin will welcome the change.
Stains can be caused by iron or minerals in your water, or because your water has a lot of natural acid in it, or both. As anyone who has tried to clean them can tell you, these stains can be difficult to remove. With Kinetico, your water returns to its natural clear, clean self — and stains become a thing of the past.

Water makes up about 85% of fountain drinks, so any impurities in the water can greatly affect the taste and odor.
Water high in minerals will affect the taste of coffee causing it to taste more bitter, since the minerals reduce the coffee’s flavor.
