Getting Started
The following procedures have been developed to assist during the installation of your KineticoPRO Softener.
ALL STATE AND LOCAL PLUMBING CODES MUST BE MET, including, but not limited to:
Distances that equipment should be placed from the main panel box and electrical outlets.
Air gaps that must be provided for all drain lines.
Pre-installation Review
Before beginning the installation of the KineticoPRO system, confirm system configuration to be installed and
components that have been ordered. Please review the KineticoPRO specification sheet that includes required
components.
Review of the customer's facility is also recommended, especially critical operating data that could affect the operation
of the system:
Water pressure to the KineticoPRO system affects the performance during regeneration. The KineticoPRO
system will not operate properly if the inlet pressure fluctuates below a dynamic pressure of 25 psi. This
minimum pressure must be maintained to the system at all times. Should the pressure fluctuate below this
level, a booster pump may be required.
Do not use on water pressure that exceeds 125 psi or water temperature that exceeds 120° F.
Do not install the KineticoPRO Softener in an area where the temperature can cause the unit to freeze. Damage
to the system will result.
It is recommended that a WQA certified installer perform the installation. Failure to install the system as
instructed will void the warranty.
Proper ventilation must be provided when using PVC cleaner or glue.
An appliance dolly should be used when transporting equipment on stairways.
A prefilter should be used before a softener to prevent any foreign material from getting into the equipment.
VERY IMPORTANT! Where a brine drum overflow could cause damage, a 1/2" I.D. overflow line must be installed
on the barbed fitting on drum and connected to a drain. Make sure the drain is not higher than barbed fitting.
NOTE: Clear area along wall where PVC drain line will be run to floor drain. Kinetico does not recommend
running flexible tubing across the floor or along walls, as it may be kicked out of discharge point at floor drain,
or line may become pinched resulting in improper backwashing.
When installing a plastic component in line, it is recommended that grounding straps be put in place BEFORE
the lines are actually cut to ensure that the ground is never broken.
When installation is complete, plumbing lines must be chlorinated for sanitation. Common household bleach
may be used. The amount of bleach will vary on plumbing size, lengths and fixtures. See page 25 for sanitization
procedure.
On iron bearing water, a salt which contains resin cleaning additives is recommended.
(IMPORTANT! This does not apply to tannin units.)
NOTE: A clean grade of salt is strongly recommended. Do not use rock salt.
Read all steps, guides and rules carefully before installing and using the KineticoPRO Softener.
