Water softener

Hi, would anyone have a Kinetico water softener that can comment good or bad? I need to replace my old Waterside machine and one has been offered as an x display. They seem expensive but if they are worth it ??

    Yes. If its a good discount off the price of a new one, take it.

  • We have a Kinetico water softener and can recommend it. They are quite pricey, but ours does the job and has done for about 8 years.

    My Kinetico was installed in 1985 and is still going strong.

    Check that the new softener has the correct metering disc fitted for the hardness of your water - they are colour coded

    Your water company will tell you the hardness for your postcode.

    Thankyou guys, it sounds like these are the ones to go for. I was going to get the Waterside repaired but, with its age at 13 yrs, I don't think it will go much longer anyway. David, yours from 1985 is a fantastic result, hope mine will live as long!
