TECHNICAL DATASHEET
Benefits of Microlene's Kinetico Water Softeners
Microlene’s Kinetico water softeners are a hard
working non-electric design offering continuous
supply of soft water using a twin tank system.
NON ELECTRIC
Only Microlene Kinetico uses the kinetic
energy of moving water to power its system
instead of electricity – thanks to the patented
turbine. So you’ll never have to worry about
costly repairs or higher electricity bills.
24/7
Our twin tank design allows our system to
backwash without ever going offline, for round
the clock operation. You’ll never be interrupted
or inconvenienced by regeneration.
METERED REGENERATION
Based on your water hardness, the system
measures water use to accurately determine
when it’s time to regenerate with clock like
precision, resulting in up to 20% less waste water
and up to 40% savings in salt. Your softener
automatically adjusts to your water use patterns.
SOFT WATER RINSE
Uses only soft conditioned water to clean the
media, which extends the life of the system.
COUNTER CURRENT REGENERATION
Unlike most other systems, ours regenerates in
counter-current mode, a more even and efficient
use of resin beads, resulting in less waste water,
less salt use and a longer lasting system.
OPERATING PROFILE
The softener can remove hardness to less than
9 mg/l when operated in accordance with the
operating instructions. The system comprises
two tanks. This duplex configuration operates
with one tank on-line during service.
During regeneration cycles, one tank provides
water to service and to the regenerating
tank. An internal water meter initiates system
regeneration. The water meter measures the
processed volume and can be adjusted based
on water hardness to be treated. Service flow is
down-flow and regeneration flow is up-flow.

REGENERATION CONTROL VALVE
The regeneration control valve is mounted on top of the
media tank, and manufactured from non-corrosive materials.
A control valve provides service and regeneration control
for two media tanks. Inlet and outlet ports accept a quick
connect, double o-ring sealed adapter. Interconnection
between tanks is made through the regeneration valve with
a quick connect adapter. The control valve operates using a
minimum inlet pressure of 1 Bar. Pressure is used to drive all
valve functions. No electric hook-up is required. The control
valve incorporates four operational cycles: service, brine draw,
slow rinse, and a combined fast rinse and brine refill. The
brine cycle is up-flow, opposite the service flow, providing a
counter current regeneration (opposite for MACH2020cHF).
The control valve contains a fixed orifice eductor nozzle
and self-adjusting backwash flow control. The control valve
will prevent the bypass of hard water to service during the
regeneration cycle.
MEDIA TANKS
The tanks are designed for a maximum working pressure of 8.6
Bar and hydrostatically tested at 20.7 Bar. Tanks are made of
engineered plastic with a 63.5mm threaded top opening. The
tanks are NSF approved. The upper distribution system is a
slot design. The lower distribution system is a flat plate design.
Distributors will provide even flow of regeneration water and the
collection of processed water.
CONDITIONING MEDIA
Each softener includes non solvent cation resin having a
minimum exchange capacity of 18 g/l when regenerated with
240.3g/l.
BRINE SYSTEM
The combination salt storage and brine production tank
is manufactured of
corrosion-resistant
plastic. The brine tank
has a chamber to
house the brine valve
assembly. The brine
float assembly allows
for adjustable salt
settings and provides
for a shut-off to the
brine refill. The brine
tank includes a safety
overflow connection
to be plumbed to a
suitable drain.
