We are in the market for a new water softener, and are curious about the Kinetico water conditioners. Kinetico claims several novel features, including: + fully automatic control valve that uses no electricity + softener regeneration is based on the amount of water used, rather than on a timer, resulting in water and salt savings + a dual tank (plus the brine tank) that allows soft water to be available even during regeneration The unit "sized" to our house sells for about $1600, including installation. The salesman I talked to was from The Water Source in Glen Ellyn, IL. I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, warnings, etc., concerning the Kinetico products or the firm. thanks in advance, David Samburg ..!ihnp4!ihopa!das
