If you’re considering upgrading your home water system, chances are you’ve encountered the Kinetico Premium Plus. Known for its efficiency and smart design, it’s a top-tier choice in the world of water softeners. However, what’s it really like getting one installed? Here’s what you need to know before booking that appointment.
A quick look at Kinetico
Kinetico has been a trusted name in the water treatment industry for decades. Unlike many traditional systems, their units operate without electricity, using the natural flow of water to power the system. That means fewer moving parts, less to go wrong, and peace of mind for homeowners. The Premium Plus is one of their most advanced models, designed to handle high demand while maintaining top performance and water quality.
Step-by-step guide: what happens during installation?
Pre-installation survey
Before any fittings are made, an engineer will visit your home to assess your plumbing, water pressure, and current setup. It is a good opportunity to ask questions and discuss the location where the softener will be installed. It is typically located in the utility room, a cupboard under the sink, or even in the garage.
Choosing the right spot
The installer will help you find the most practical location for your water softener. It needs access to your main water supply and a drain. However, it doesn’t need electricity, which is one of the best features of this system.
Installation day
The actual fitting typically takes between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system. The engineer will connect the system to your water line, thoroughly test it, and demonstrate its use. There’s no complicated tech to learn. It’s designed to get the job done.
What you’ll notice right away
Softer water: You’ll start noticing the difference in your taps, shower, and appliances within a day or two.
No more limescale: The days of scrubbing kettle residue or shower screen scum will soon be over.
Lower soap usage: With soft water, you’ll find that you use much less shampoo, washing-up liquid, and laundry detergent.
Is it worth it?
The Kinetico Premium Plus is built to last, comes with a 10-year warranty, and requires very little maintenance. You’ll only need to top up the salt occasionally, and even that’s quick and easy. Plus, with the long-term savings on appliance repairs and cleaning products, the system practically pays for itself.
