Kinetico

[nicholasndi]

I purchased a used Kinetico 4060 Mach series with overdrive. There are three plastic fittings on the control head (besides the supply and output). Does anybody know what hey are for? There is one in the middle, one to the right and one to the left. Not sure which is for the brine tank and what the other two are for. I called a Kinetico dealer (many actually) and they will not help. They want to send out a technician and charge me for the travel and consultation. They will not throw me a (bone). Any help would be appreciated. The white plastic connector is in the middle.

Cheers

They probably don't even like it that you were able to buy a used device, and do you blame them? They are in the business of selling and maintaining the devices, which is why they do not give free advice OR sell parts in most cases.

I understand and respect this. I am a senior on a fixed income. My current water softener works great and is only two years old. I was told by the original owner that they paid over $4,000. They have recently switched to town water, which is quite good and does not require a softener. There is no way the average person would be able to afford this Kinetico Mach 4060S w/Overdrive, let alone a senior. At least if they (the dealer) would throw me a "bone", I would become a Kinetico user and get my service from them. Without the verification of the fittings, I will continue using my current softener. I just thought it would be nice and "interesting" to see what the difference would be with what is referred to as a "high end softener" and see what the $3,000 difference would be.

The $3,000.00 bought them the Kinetico name, and not much else. Your softener will do EXACTLY what the Kinetico does.

Kinetico and Culligan units are all proprietary, meaning if you aren't one of their dealers you can't get parts or any free advise.
