Smart On-Demand Regeneration: Non-Electric Water Softeners Save Salt, Water, and Energy

On-Demand Regeneration

Helps save salt, water, and energy by regenerating only when your home actually needs it and making the system last longer and run more efficiently.

No Electricity

Non-electric softeners use a mechanical water meter to measure usage, triggering regeneration only when necessary for maximum efficiency and reliability.

Easy to Install, the Kinetico HE Operates on Block or Tablet Salt

  • Block or Tablet Salt Compatible:

    Choose your preference: clean 4kg block salt packs or high-grade tablet salt. Ensures no-fuss refilling and flexible maintenance.

  • Compact and Installer-Friendly:

    Space-saving design fits easily into tight spaces and various home layouts. Standard installation makes setup straightforward for plumbers.

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.

Compatible with Gravity & Older Pipes

Best for standard homes, gravity systems, older pipework, or anywhere that has lower incoming pressure. Works even at extremely low flow rates.

  • No Electrical Costs:

    Operates without electricity, ensuring you have zero ongoing energy costs. This leads to greater savings over the system's lifetime.

    Non-electric water softener systems have fewer complex parts, leading to potentially lower maintenance and repair costs and better long-term savings.

  • Longevity and Durability:

    These non-electric systems are built to be robust and durable, meaning they are less prone to breakdowns and offer long-term reliability.

Installation Overview of the Kinetico HE Water Softener

Kinetico recommends that a qualified installer or engineer performs the installation. Failure to install the system as instructed could invalidate the warranty.

Warning: Do not install if the supply water pressure exceeds 125 psi (8.3 BAR), unless a suitable regulatory pressure valve has been installed on the water supply to the softener. The water temperature must not exceed 120°F (48.8°C).

Warning: Do not install the water softener in an area where the temperature can cause the unit to freeze. Freezing temperatures will damage the system.

Flexible Installation: Reversible Outlet Ports for Convenient Setup

The water softener can be installed with the outlet ports on the left or right side of the cabinet by reversing the components as seen in Figure 2. This allows the inlet/outlet connections to be fitted on the preferred side of the cabinet for easier installation.

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.

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.
