Waterwise
Kinetico has grown from a two-man undertaking to a global leader in the ever-evolving water treatment industry serving more than 100 countries.
Here's why.
Like many people, Robynn of Twin Falls, Idaho has always been particular about the quality of water she drinks. But she never considered the quality of her shower water until she noticed her hair had become dry and brittle. After investigating possible causes, she decided to have her water tested. She knew the water in her area was extremely hard, but tests showed it also contained 22 grains of aragonite. Since installing a water softener from Kinetico, her hair, and even her skin, have never felt softer.
“The water we drink is of the utmost importance, but on average, makes up just one percent of water used daily”, says Ted Jones, a self-described water snob and Vice President, North American Dealer Sales at Kinetico.
“It’s easy to forget that water affects practically every part of your home and can affect everything from your skin to your appliances.”

As water falls from the sky and flows through the ground or travels as a river or stream, it dissolves minerals, rocks and other matter along the way, he explains. This results in what is known as hard water, or water that contains dissolved calcium, magnesium and, in many cases, iron.
Jones estimates that 85% of American homes are on hard water. “If you put a pot of water on the range and let it evaporate you might see white build up left behind,” he says. “That’s a telltale sign of hard water.” Other signs include spots on glass and silverware, that grimy bathtub ring that just doesn’t seem to go away with cleaner, shortened life expectancy of water-using appliances, such as coffee makers or washing machines and even dry skin and hair and dull clothing.
Since its inception in 1970 in northeast Ohio, Kinetico has grown from a two-man undertaking to a global leader in the ever-evolving water treatment industry serving more than 100 countries. “Our number one goal is to give people peace of mind,” says Jones. “Water is H20. It should not contain lead, magnesium, chloride or any other chemical compounds. Then it becomes soup. I want my water as natural and close to the clouds as possible. It should have no smell, no taste, no color.”
Kinetico’s eco-sensitive systems are powered by moving water—not electricity—so there is no increase in the customer’s energy bill. The environmental and cost savings multiply after their purchase, says Jones. “Most people don’t realize how much time, money and energy is spent fighting the hard water battle,” he says. A whole home water treatment system will pay for itself, helping your water heater run more efficiently, reducing energy bills. Studies have shown a washing machine run on soft water lasts five years longer and clothes washed in soft water last 15% longer. “It’s a win for your health and a win for the environment,” he says.
