Powerline PRO Filter
Product Overview
The Kinetico Powerline PRO Filter can be configured to solve several dierent
dicult water problems.
Powerline PRO Calcite Systems are designed to increase your pH and alkalinity.
Powerline PRO Carbon Systems are designed to remove chlorine and unpleasant
tastes and odors.
Powerline PRO Macrolite Systems are designed to remove particulate matter,
such as iron.
The advanced control valve on the system is customizable. It can independently
backwash when needed, the timing of which is determined by your specific water
quality and water usage patterns. Interfacing with the Kinetico Powerline PRO
Filter is simple too. The control valve can be easily adjusted and monitored using
either the front LED display, or it can be done wirelessly by using your smart
phone or a tablet with the proprietary application.

System Cycles
Service
Untreated water enters the control valve and is fed down through the filtration
media, and through the lower distributor basket. It then runs up the center riser
tube and back out through the clean water portions of the valve.
Backwash
Water is passed upflow through the media to expand the media and release the
contaminants and to send them to drain. The clean media is now ready for service.
Rest
A short rest is included to allow the media to settle.
Rapid Rinse
A short downflow rinse is performed to rebed the media prior to service.
NOTES: The system by-passes untreated water while it is performing the above
sequences, so it is important to choose the time of day for a backwash when
no water is being used in the home.

System Maintenance and Install Guidelines
Water Pressure
Inlet water pressure range of 20-125 psi is required for backwash valve to
operate eectively.
Electrical Facilities
An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required. Please make
sure voltage supply is compatible with unit before installation. A backup 9-Volt
battery should be installed and properly maintained (replace yearly).
Existing Plumbing
Condition of existing plumbing should be free from lime and iron buildup.
Replace piping that has heavy lime and/or iron buildup.
By-pass Valves
Always install a by-pass valve if unit is not equipped with one. If valve is leaking,
turn by-pass from Service to the By-pass position.
NOTE: A check valve (included in extension pipe feeding by-pass valve) must be
installed on the inlet to the unit.
NOTE: If the valve continues to leak after turning the by-pass to By-pass position,
shut o the main water line and call your local service technician (preferably
the one who installed the system) IMMEDIATELY.
Media
Filter media requires periodic replacement or replenishment. Contact your
authorized Kinetico Dealer for additional details.
CAUTION
• Do not exceed water pressure of 125 psi.
• Do not exceed water temperature of 110°F.
• Do not subject unit to freezing conditions.

lNormal Operation
Home Display
•Alternates between the display of Time of Day and Number of Days until the
Next Backwash.
- If Days Remaining Until Next Backwash does not read ‘1,’ press and hold
the Set/Change button for 3 seconds until the display reads ‘1.’
- Backwash cycle will initiate at the next designated backwash time.
Battery Backup (Uses a standard 9-Volt alkaline battery.)
Features of Battery Backup:
•During power failures, the battery will maintain the time of day as long as the
battery has power. The display is turned o to conserve battery power during
this time. To confirm that the battery is working, press either button, and the
display will turn on for five (5) seconds.
• If power failure occurs while system is backwashing, the Kinetico Powerline
PRO Filter will motor to a shut o position to prevent constant flow to drain.
Depending upon system pressure and other factors, it is possible to observe a
reduced flow to drain during this step. After power is restored, the Powerline
PRO Filter will return and finish the cycle where it left o prior to the power
interruption.
• When used without battery back-up, during a power failure, the unit stops at
its current point in the backwash position and then restarts at that point when
the power is restored. The time will be oset by the increment of time the unit
was without power, so it is necessary to reset the time of day on the unit. No
other system settings will be aected.
Starting Extra Backwash Cycle
1. To Start Delayed Extra Cycle Example [1 ]
- If Days Remaining Until Next Backwash does not read ‘1,’ press and hold the Set/
Change button for 3 seconds until the display reads ‘1.’
- Backwash cycle will initiate at the next designated backwash time.
2. To start Immediate Extra Cycle First complete above step.

- After 3 seconds, the backwash cycle will begin.
3. To Fast Cycle thru backwash First complete above 2 steps.
- Press and hold the Set/Change button for 3 seconds to advance to the next cycle
step.
NOTE: Fast Cycle is not necessary unless you want to manually step through each
cycle step. (Repeat until valve returns to the home display - time of day.)

- When the valve is between positions, the display will flash the number of the step it
is moving toward.
- The default time at which backwash will occur is 12:00 a.m.
- If system loses power and no backup battery is installed, it may return to default
settings which could be dierent from those entered at start-up. Consult with your
