KineticoPRO Hydrus Series Water Softeners
KineticoPRO's Hydrus point-of-entry water softening systems are engineered to efficiently remove hardness. They are completely configurable to accommodate demanding, large water volume requirements. These advanced water softening systems can be combined with KineticoPRO's Hydrus water filtration systems.
The Importance of Water Softening
Hard water, caused by high levels of calcium and magnesium carbonates, bicarbonates, and sulfates, can lead to aesthetic concerns and costly issues with equipment. Scale build-up in pipes and fixtures decreases efficiency and can impact the performance of your equipment.
Hydrus Series POE Water Softeners Features
- Equipment Protection
- Non-electric hydraulic valve operation for longevity and motor elimination.
- Consistent and continuous supply of clean, soft water to protect plumbing and equipment.
- Countercurrent regeneration for efficient water and salt usage, preventing hardness breakthrough.
- Corrosion-resistant valve and tanks for durability in harsh environments.
- Operational Efficiency
- Single or Multi-Tank configurations available for space efficiency and demanding commercial needs.
- Metered regeneration based on water usage maximizes salt and water efficiency.
- Advanced operator interface for cost minimization and simplified setup.
- Environmentally Friendly
- Up to 30% reduction in wastewater.
- Up to 40% reduction in salt usage due to soft water and countercurrent regeneration.
