Compact Water Softener

How they work

The ER/Kinetico compact water conditioning units employ the world-renowned Kinetico control module, making the ER/Kinetico 2020c water softeners, the only non-electrical, completely automatic water conditioners at this incredibly compact size. They use a twin-tank design, joined by a single control module that automatically regulates brining, backwash, rinsing, and shifting from one tank to the other when required. The units measure the volume of water by using a meter that turns as water flows through the system. After a predetermined volume, depending on water hardness, the unit automatically begins regeneration for one tank and shifts service to the tank in reserve.

ER/Kinetico Advantages

The drawbacks of electrical units for the first time have been removed, while ER/Kinetico systems also provide significant advantages. Below are just some of the benefits, which the 2020c compact water softeners offer:

• Twin tanks -Soft conditioned water available 24 hours a day... even during regeneration. - Provides the regeneration cycle with ample soft, clean water to more effectively renew the resin bed and greatly reduce the amount of salt and water needed.

• No electricity requirements! No risk of shock, processor malfunctions, or reliability problems as a result of power surges, shortages, or outages. No additional electrical installation requirements.
• Demand System. Conserves water and salt by regenerating only when necessary, no additional reserve capacities are necessary to handle additional demand, thereby avoiding unnecessary regenerations, and ultimately lowering operating costs.
• Efficient Use of Water and Salt. Low water consumption, less money spent on salt.
• Corrosion-resistant valve and tanks. Long-lasting, can endure harsh environments.
• Smooth operation. Only clean, soft, treated water flows through the internal control mechanism. Fewer mechanical problems and service requirements.
• Low Maintenance. Just add salt.
• Soft water countercurrent regeneration. Increased regeneration efficiency and water quality.
• Low Flow Capability. The water metering system is able to handle very low rates. At low flow rates, water can flow into a softener without being metered. This eats away the softener’s capacity until hard water leaks through. The 2020c has been designed to meter low flows, ensuring softened water is always produced.

• Incredibly Compact. The 2020c water softener has been designed for simple handling and easy positioning in even the tightest spaces.

• Easy Installation. With only 4 plumbing connections, the 2020c is one of the simplest water softeners to install on the market today. No power supply is required, so once it’s plumbed in, it’s ready for use.

• Aesthetic design. The 2020c water softener comes inside a smooth tidy metallic grey casing with a choice of colours for the decorative cover plates, and additional colour kits available for future changes if needed.

Applications

Domestic, Dish and Bottle Washing, Laundry, Restaurant, Hotel, Reverse Osmosis Pre-treatment, … and more.

The 2020c compact water softeners or one of the many other ER/Kinetico Model conditioners can be adjusted specifically for the water conditions for almost all small to medium size domestic, commercial and industrial applications, depending only on flow rates and the hardness level of the water. When you compare the benefits, ER/Kinetico water conditioning units are years ahead of the competition.
