Is your water still hard? Find out how to tell if your Kinetico water softener is working properly

 

When it comes to knowing if your Kinetico water softener is working properly, there are a few key indicators you can look for.

First and foremost, the most obvious sign that your water softener is working is that your water will be noticeably softer. You'll notice a reduction in soap scum and mineral buildup on your dishes and in your shower or bathtub. Your hair and skin may also feel softer and less dry.

Another way to tell if your water softener is working is to check the salt level in the brine tank. The water softener uses salt to regenerate the resin beads that remove hardness minerals from the water. If you notice that the salt level is low or depleted, it's likely that the water softener is working and regenerating as it should.

You can also check the water hardness level before and after the water passes through the water softener. If the water hardness level decreases after passing through the water softener, then it is working properly.

Another way to check if your Kinetico water softener is working is to look at the water usage. If you notice that the water usage has increased, it is likely that the resin beads in the water softener are clogged, and need to be cleaned or replaced.

In addition, you should also pay attention to any unusual noises coming from the water softener. If you hear any loud or unusual noises, it could indicate that there is a problem with the unit and should be checked by a professional.

It's also important to schedule regular maintenance for your Kinetico water softener to ensure that it is working at its optimal level. This may include cleaning the resin beads, replacing filters, and checking for any potential issues.

Overall, by paying attention to the water quality, salt levels, water usage and any unusual noises, you will be able to tell if your Kinetico water softener is working properly. If you notice any problems or have any doubts, it's always best to call a professional to come and inspect the unit. Regular maintenance and inspections can also help prevent problems and prolong the life of your water softener.
