Kinetico Essential

• Kinetico Essential series due to its design doesn't have limitations, which electrical systems has.
• The filter is designed to operate according to a scheme in which the system consists of one column with the filter material. Purified water is used for washing of the ion exchange resin, it provides a greater washing efficiency and greatly reduce salt and water consumption for the process, and prolongs the life of the filter.
• The system does not need to be connected to the power! It eliminates the risk of electric shock, the probability of failure of the microprocessor and other problems.
• The system is running on the counter. Salt and water are being used for regeneration only after one of the columns runs out of its resin resource.
