We became intersted in Kinetico in the middle 80's. I found out the water units were powered by water pressure NOT electricity. I found this hard to believe so I requested a copy of the United States Patent 3,891,552, dated June 24, 1975 to look over. My wife and I have enjoyed the worry free service of our awesome Kinetico water softner and reverse osmosis units since mid 80's. You do not have to worry about your units when going on vacation. They only run when you use them. Nothing to unplug, etc. You could say we went Green in the mid 80's and are very happy we did. You can use Salt or Potassium. You do not taste the salt as much is removed from the water before it gets to your tap. We have enjoyed quality water since the mid 80's. The service has always been reliable. If you have not taken a look at Kinetico, maybe now is the time to go green.
