MANUAL REGENERARTION OF KINETICO WATER SOFTNER OR FILTER

Follow these steps to perform a manual regeneration process for a Kinetico water softener or filter. This might be recommended if you ran out of salt or if your well experienced a larger than usual burst of sediment or ferric iron.

On top of the control valve (the round black part on top of one of the two twin tanks), you will see a clear plastic disk with a small depression in the middle. Look down at the disk, and locate the black mark on the inside of the meter control disk inside the clear disk. This will be near the 6:00 or 12:00 position on the disk.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, push down on the screw in the small depression, and turn slowly clockwise, pushing down while you turn. Advance the black mark to the closest “BRINE” position on the disk.  You will begin to hear a trickle of water that indicates you have triggered the regeneration.

If you wish to manually regenerate both sides, wait until the regeneration is done.   You will know the unit has completed the process because the sound of water will stop, and the black mark will be at either the 6:00 position or the 12:00 position.
