This Home Water Softener System is WRAS-Approved Water and Operates Without Electricity

On-Demand Regeneration

Helps save salt, water, and energy by only regenerating when your home actually needs it, allowing the system to last longer and work smarter.

No Electricity

Non-electric home water softeners use a mechanical water meter to measure water usage, triggering regeneration only when the system determines it is essential.

Compact and Installer-Friendly

The system features a compact design that integrates easily into tight spaces, making it suitable for a wide range of home configurations. Installation is considered standard for a qualified plumber.

Twin Tank Water Softener: Guaranteed Continuous Soft Water

The Twin Tank water softener system is engineered to ensure you always have access to soft water, even when the system is actively cleaning itself (regeneration).

24/7 Continuous Performance

Unlike standard single-tank models that require downtime to regenerate, the twin-tank design works in tandem. While one tank is regenerating, the second tank automatically takes over, guaranteeing a constant supply of softened water without interruption.

Ideal for High-Demand Homes 

This continuous operation is particularly beneficial for larger households, properties with high water usage, or small businesses where consistent access to soft water is essential. With this reliable setup, you never have to worry about running out of soft water.

What Are The Benefits of a Non Electric Water Softener System

No Electrical Costs

Since the system does not require electricity to operate, you avoid the ongoing costs associated with powering the unit, helping to reduce long-term running expenses.

Efficient Regeneration

The mechanical water meter ensures the home water softener only regenerates when necessary, reducing water and salt usage during each cycle and lowering overall running costs.

Lower Maintenance Costs

Non-electric water softener systems typically have fewer components that can fail, resulting in potentially lower maintenance and repair costs over the lifetime of the system.

Longevity and Durability

Non-electric systems are generally more robust and less prone to breakdowns, helping you save money on replacements and repairs over time.

Ensure your home enjoys a constant supply of soft water with the Kinetico Twin Tank Water Softener. This sophisticated system is engineered to deliver a consistent, uninterrupted supply of soft water throughout your home, making it an excellent long-term choice for reliability.

Which Model Should You Choose?

Choosing between the Kinetico HE and Kinetico HF comes down to your home’s flow rate and water demand. Use this quick guide to make the right choice:

  • Choose the HE if you have a standard home, older plumbing, or a gravity-fed system. Works perfectly even at very low flow rates.
  • Choose the HF if you have a modern pressurised system, combi boiler, or multiple bathrooms running at once.

Both models offer the same regeneration time, salt efficiency, and build quality, the difference is purely in how they handle flow and pressure.

The Impact of Hard Water on Your Home

Over 60% of homes in the UK have hard water, around 16m homes ! Obvious signs, such as frequent equipment failures, noisy boilers, diminished water pressure, and the accumulation of chalky, crusty deposits, point to the presence of hard water. Only a water softener can eliminate this issue, and it will also clean your pipes of chalky deposits that have built up over time. If left untreated, you may see signs such as reduced water pressure, damage to household appliances, leaking and burst pipes, poor water quality, reduction in your clothes quality, and increased energy costs. Additionally, you will almost certainly face the burden of extra cleaning to remove the unpleasant chalky deposits.
