Kinetico’s reverse-osmosis K5 w/ VOC Guard Drinking Water Station outperforms other systems in 11 ways.
- 1Certified by the National Sanitation Foundation to remove more contaminants than any other system.
- 2No more guessing when it’s time to replace filters. The K5’s patented Puremometer™ alerts you with an easy-to-read indicator.
- 3Conserves water. You’d be surprised at the amount of water most filtration systems go through to produce a single glass of drinking water. The Kinetico K5 gets the job done using up to 93 percent less water.
- 4Constant flow. The K5 delivers a constant flow of water at about twice the speed of other systems.
- 5More water at a time. Tired of running out of filtered water when you fill a pitcher or sauce pan? The K5 stores three times as much filtered water as other systems.
- 6Filters are actually easy to change. No costly service call needed.
- 7Lead-free faucet. Most faucets contain lead, which filtered water absorbs. K5’s stainless steel faucet ensures this won’t happen to you.
- 8Longer lasting membrane. Surprisingly, most units use unfiltered water to clean internal parts. The K5’s patented EverClean® Rinse uses only filtered water. It keeps the system in top working order and vastly extends the membrane’s life.
- 9Save space. In most homes and at your option, we can install the K5 in the home’s basement. This leaves room under the kitchen sink while providing even easier access to the K5.
- 10End-to-end 10-year warranty. That includes the membrane provided you own a Kinetico water softener. (And why wouldn’t you?) If you don’t have a Kinetico water softener, the ten-year warranty still applies to everything except the membrane, which still has a remarkable four-year warranty.
- 11Upgradable. The Kinetico K5 w/ VOC Guard Drinking Water Station provides more than enough protection for most households. Want even more? Ask about our Purefecta™ filter (removes 99.999 percent of every classification of living organism) and other useful enhancements.
Our installer Casey is awesome! He was very respectful of our home. Steve, our salesperson, was incredible. No pressure, no hard sales tactics. He gave us the facts and we sorted them out. Casey came the following day to install. Can’t ask for better service. The pure drinking water is the best and my whole house water softener that removes the chlorine is divine. It’s like showering in silk.
FAQs
If I have a water softener, why would I need a reverse osmosis system?
A water softener is designed to remove the hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water protecting your appliances, fixtures, skin, hair and more. While a reverse osmosis system is designed to remove much more; including Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), harsh chemicals and unwanted contaminants providing purified drinking water.
How often do I need to replace the filters on my Kinetico Reverse Osmosis System?
Kinetico recommends changing the filters every year. The K5 Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Station has a built in metering system that will reduce the water flow from the faucet when the filters need to be changed. The filter life is 500 gallons of purified drinking water. There is also an easy-to-read indicator on the system showing how much life is left in the filters.
How do I know if my water is safe to drink?
If your water is from a municipal supply, it is regulated and routinely tested. You can review your local water provider’s annual Consumer Confidence Report for detailed information about your water quality. If your home uses a private well, it is the homeowners responsibility to regularly test for contaminants such as bacteria, nitrates, and heavy metals.
Kinetico offers Reverse Osmosis Drinking water systems that provide an additional layer of protection by reducing a wide range of contaminants, including dissolved solids, heavy metals, chlorine, and other chemicals. Reverse Osmosis filtration provides cleaner, better-tasting drinking water for homeowners wanting added peace of mind.
Why does my water taste and smell like a swimming pool?
In order to kill bacteria and viruses in the water most cities will add chlorine. Chlorine is the same chemical used in swimming pools to make sure people don’t get sick. As our population grows and water quality deteriorates, the cities have to add more chlorine to meet exacting government standards. The levels of chlorine can fluctuate depending on what bacteria they find in the water. Most people find the chlorine taste and smell undesirable and decide to filter their water to make sure they get the best taste, but also reduce the amount of chlorine they consume.
Do I need the minerals in my drinking water?
There are two main types of drinking water…spring water and purified water, or water that has been filtered by reverse osmosis. Spring water will still have a lot of minerals known as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). A good reverse osmosis system will remove over 90% of TDS and other contaminants that are in your water. Everyone’s preferred taste of water is different. Some love the clean pureness of reverse osmosis, while others have gotten used to the taste of minerals in their water. Well, you’re in luck, because with a Kinetico K5 Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Station®, you can customize your water. Kinetico offers different filters to meet your specific water needs and even has a re-mineralization option for those who prefer to have some minerals in their water.
