Alternative to competitive industrial water softeners that in regenerating use large amounts of salt and simultaneously allow some hard water to leak into service, Kinetico’s Hydrus and Commercial Plus (CP) water softener valves reduce salt consumption, wastewater, and operating cost. For more than 40 years, Kinetico has designed and built the most cost-effective softeners providing the best water quality possible. For the last 10 years, Water Innovations has included them in nearly every water treatment system we design and build.

The Hydrus water softener is essentially the only multi-port system to use countercurrent, soft water regeneration, a proven and trusted method of operation that results in up to a 40 percent reduction in salt use when compared to other units. In addition, waste water volumes are reduced by as much as 30 percent, making Hydrus a more environmentally responsible water treatment product than others.

Water quality from a Hydrus water softener is significantly better than the water quality from traditional co-current or hard water regenerating systems. With a Hydrus system, hardness leakage will be reduced by as much as 95 percent.
