A Brief History of Kinetico in the UK

During 1978 Kinetico Incorporated appointed a UK distributor / assembler. With financial and design assistance from Kinetico Incorporated, this Surrey based distributor/assembler developed a non-electric water softener which best suited the UK market and, through this continued joint venture, the Kinetico Block Salt water softener was evolved.

Kinetico Incorporated takes great pride in the expert resources of its research and development department and became increasingly frustrated with the reluctance of its UK distributor/assembler to implement key product improvements that would benefit the consumer.

As a result, during the latter part of 2000, Kinetico Incorporated terminated its long standing commercial relationship with the UK based distributor/assembler and established its own UK subsidiary, Kinetico UK Ltd, operating from Southampton, Hampshire. This turn of events enabled Kinetico Incorporated to immediately implement improvements to the established water softener design bringing it into the 21st Century.

Since 2001, Kinetico have made over 35 improvements to its block salt water softener blueprint and, due to the ingenious way the water softener is designed, Kinetico can and do continue to service and maintain its earlier models.

During the history of Kinetico a few companies have introduced their own non-electric water softener but to date none have been able to compete with the performance ratings, reliability and benefits of a Kinetico non-electric water softener, nor have they achieved independent accreditation.

Kinetico continues to develop the most innovative water treatment systems available anywhere in the world. Systems that conserve energy and engineered with an eye towards sustainability.
