The Softener Showdown
Kinetico vs. Culligan & The Other Companies
Kinetico water softeners and backwashing filters operate by the force of moving water. Kinetic energy… the flow and pressure of your water. Thus eliminating the need for any electrical power. No more problems with the failure of electrical components. As our competitors keep making “new technology” with their electric systems, the repair costs increase. How many of us have ever had any electrical product stop working? Water treatment equipment in the Quad City area is typically installed in the utility rooms of homes and businesses. These rooms also contain the water heater and the heating and cooling systems. These rooms build up a lot of moisture. You wouldn’t plug in your computer or laptop in this room and do your work, would you? You do that when installing a competitor’s system in your home. It’s not the amount of electricity these systems use but the problem associated with the electrical components of these systems.
