Can I Change When My Kinetico Water Softener Regenerates? This could mean that a Kinetico water softener could regenerate once per week, once per day, or even several times per day.Ī properly set larger size dual-tank Kinetico water softener will need to regenerate less often than a smaller size system but both systems can provide the same uninterrupted softened water.Ī small dual-tank Kinetico water softener may have to regenerate more often than a larger-sized system, but if they both switch softening tanks when regeneration begins, they will both provide non-stop softened water. Where a standard electric water softener can be programmed to only regenerate after a certain amount of time or gallons of water has been used, a Kinetico water softener will only regenerate when a preset amount of water has been used. How Often Does A Kinetico Water Softener Regenerate?īecause a dual-tank Kinetico water softener will regenerate at any time that the control valve determines that the soft water capacity has been exhausted, how often it will regenerate will depend on how much water is used, the resin capacity of the system, and the regeneration disc used in the system.Ī dual-tank Kinetico water softener may regenerate many times more than a standard electric water softener if the amount of resin in one of its tanks is less than in the standard water softener tank.
