Explore the differences between our water softener systems and learn which is best for your needs.

How to choose

Which is the best water softener?

Choosing a water softener can feel like a long-term investment, but the decision doesn’t need to be complicated. At Kinetico, we offer two industry-leading water softener models – both designed with the same powerful technology, but in different sizes to suit different homes.

This guide covers what you need to know before buying, from how many bathrooms you have to where the system will be installed. For tailored advice, our expert team are always on hand to help.

Choosing a water softener

Before you decide, there are a few simple steps to help you select the right model for your household.

Understand your water usage

Consider the number of bathrooms, how many people live in your home, and how much water you use on average. There’s no need for any specific numbers or figures, but a rough idea of whether your household uses a large level of water may influence which water softener is right for your needs.

Higher water usage typically means you’ll benefit from a larger system that can keep up with demand.

Consider where it will go

Water softeners are usually placed near your home’s stopcock, which may be under the kitchen sink or in a utility room. If space is tight, a compact model is likely to fit where others won’t.

If you’re unsure where your water softener will be located, your local Kinetico expert will be able to guide you.

Factor in future plans

If you’re planning to extend your home or increase your water usage – such as with new bathrooms or a growing family – a larger water softener may be a more future-proof choice. Many customers take their water softeners with them when moving home, so this may also influence your decision.

For homes with up to 3 bathrooms

The Premier Compact is our most space-efficient water softener, delivering high-quality soft water on demand – all while being able to fit neatly under the kitchen sink.

Its innovative twin-cylinder design ensures continuous soft water, operation and optimum efficiency, only regenerating when required. The Premier Compact is also non-electric, making it a cost-effective and dependable way to improve your home’s water.
