The Commercial Plus Series
The CP Series provides continuous soft water for commercial applications. The unique design of Kinetico’s control valve
allows for all softener functions to operate automatically and non-electrically. The system has a number of options as
described:
(OD) – Overdrive
The Overdrive feature means both tanks are on-line during service. During regeneration, one tank is in service
and provides water to the regenerating tank. All CP systems are shipped in the Overdrive mode. The alternating
disc is also included. To apply a (s) standard flow configuration, the OD version would be purchased and
modified at the time of install.
(s) – Standard or Alternating Service
This is where one tank is in service and the other tank is regenerating or in stand-by. The (s) standard feature
allows for higher hardness levels to be removed, but oers lower service flow rates.

Kinetico Valve Components
KineticoPRO Water Softeners use a twin tank design to assure that treated water is always available. When one tank
regenerates, the other supplies treated water. The Kinetico Valve controls when each tank is in service, when each tank
must be regenerated and the regeneration of each tank.
Kinetico Valve
Outlet
Regeneration
Inlet Level 1 Operation
Level 1 assembly consists of three chambers: inlet, outlet and regeneration chambers.
Hard water enters the inlet chamber and travels to the media tank where it is treated. Treated
water moves from the media tank to the outlet chamber. Contained in the outlet chamber is a
water meter turbine, which turns only when water is used. Gears connect the water meter turbine
to the water meter disc. The system’s meter gearing is defined as the volume of processed water
needed to turn the water meter disc 360°.
Flow Nozzle
Accuracy and range of the flow meter will depend on the nozzle used with the system. Most units incorporate the half
louver nozzle. This nozzle has a highly accurate and wide range of flow metering capability. If an alternative nozzle is
used, a dierent meter volume per 360° on the water meter will result. To estimate this new volume, please refer to the
chart below.

Meter Disc 1 Meter Disc 2
Meter Gearing
The frequency of regeneration can be adjusted without re-gearing the system. The use of the
water meter disc provides for multiple regenerations per 360° cycle on the water meter. Each
regeneration notch on a water meter disc will initiate a regeneration when the regeneration
start pawl drops into one of these segments and engages with the teeth of the control disc.
The number of regenerations within the 360° cycle is indicated by the number of the water
meter disc.
Regeneration Drive Pawl
Regeneration Start Pawl
Regeneration Pawls
It is important to realize that there are two regeneration pawls: the regeneration start pawl and
the regeneration drive pawl. The regeneration start pawl advances the control disc enough to
open the regeneration control valve. The water meter and control disc advance together until
the control disc uncovers one of the holes in the ceramic disc located directly beneath the
control disc. This opens the regeneration control valve, which starts regeneration. Once the
valve has opened, the regeneration drive pawl continues to advance the control disc through
the regeneration cycle.
When open, the regeneration control valve allows water to pass through a nozzle where it is directed to the regeneration
turbine in the regeneration chamber. As the regeneration turbine spins, it drives the regeneration drive pawl, which
advances the control disc.

Jet Regeneration
During the regeneration, water is used by the valve to control the sequence. For units
equipped with Jet Regeneration, a 0.2 gpm regeneration flow control is used to limit the
amount of water used. In addition to this small flow control, the regeneration nozzle in the
level 2 and the regeneration turbine in the level 1 are also modified to accept these lower flow
rates.
The Jet feature is included with all CP Systems.
Gear Alignment Clip
The Gear Alignment Clip is used to keep optimal spacing between gears. This minimizes
pressure loss and maximizes flow sensitivity.
Control Disc
All internal valve positions are controlled by the Control Disc. As the control disc turns, it covers and uncovers holes in
the ceramic disc (located directly below the control disc), sending pressure signals to open and close all internal valves.
The sequence of regeneration and service configuration (Alternating or Overdrive) is based on the type of control disc
installed.

the Remote Tank is in service. When it is between the 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock positions, the
Remote Tank is in regeneration. When the indicator dot is at the 6 o’clock position, the Main
Tank is in service. When it is between the 6 o’clock and 12 o’clock positions, the Main Tank is in
regeneration.

Lower Valving
The lower valving section consists of Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5 assemblies.
In the center, there is the regeneration control valve. This valve opens after 4 teeth on the
control disc have engaged. This valve then opens, and powers the regeneration cycle.
All of the other valves are pairs: one set for the Remote Tank and one set for the Main Tank. For
each media tank, there is an Inlet, Outlet, Drain and Check Stem Valve. The Inlet, Outlet and Drain
valves are all servo valves controlled by the control disc. The Check Stems are simple one-way
valves (check valves). Together, these valves control the flow of water into and out of each media
tank during service and regeneration.

Level 6
CP Softeners utilize downflow service and countercurrent regeneration. Untreated water enters
the valve and flows down through the resin, up the distributor tube and out to service. The
regeneration flow is opposite to this.
Additional System Components
Main Remote By-pass Valve
System By-pass
For each system, a by-pass is recommended. This can be installed using three ball
valves or installing a Kinetico by-pass valve (Item #11351A). This allows the system to
be isolated during any service operations. By-pass valving is not included as a part of
the system package.
Resin Tanks
Each system uses two resin tanks. The main tank includes the Kinetico control valve. The secondary tank is referred to as
the remote tank.
Upper Distributor
The distributor prevents channeling of the inlet stream into the top of the resin bed. A plastic molded
distributor is attached to the top of the control valve. The distributor also prevents resin from
backwashing out of the tanks.
Riser Tube
A riser tube is used to connect the lower distributor to the control valve. The riser tube is 1.0” in diameter. The CP 216s
OD riser tube increases to 1.5".
Distributors
The lower distributors are of a slotted hub design. This cone provides for excellent flow distribution through the resin bed.
Media
High capacity, uniform bead resin is used in the compact commercial softeners. The resin has a capacity of 30,000
grains/ft3when regenerated at a brine setting of 15 lb/ft3.
Tank Interconnection
Each twin tank system uses a set of inter-connectors to provide a water path from the main control valve to the remote
tank. This interconnecting plumbing is included with the system package. It uses a double O-ring seal to provide a leak-
free connection. A connector link and pins hold the tanks together under pressure.
Downflow

17
Brine Tanks
Required with a standard system is a brine make-up tank. These tanks will accommodate loading of
softener grade salt and provide water to dissolve brine into a saturated liquid form.
Softened water is delivered to the brine tank by the control valve during the normal regeneration
sequence.
Brine tanks include an overflow connection to allow for a safety in case of tank overflow.
Also included with the brine tank is the brine valve. The brine valve is used to adjust
the volume or brine to be produced for each cycle.
Central Brine System
For larger, multiple systems, a Central Brining System alternative is
available. This will replace the need for multiple brine tanks when installing
multiple units in parallel.
The Central Brining System has features similar to the independent brine
tanks; however, to accommodate multiple systems, the brine refill is
accomplished by a float mechanism attached to the softened water supply
outlet of the system.
A check valve must be added to each softener on the brine line for the unit
to operate properly with the Central Brining System.

Getting Started
The following procedures have been developed to assist during the installation of your KineticoPRO Softener.
ALL STATE AND LOCAL PLUMBING CODES MUST BE MET, including, but not limited to:
Distances that equipment should be placed from the main panel box and electrical outlets.
Air gaps that must be provided for all drain lines.
Pre-installation Review
Before beginning the installation of the KineticoPRO system, confirm system configuration to be installed and
components that have been ordered. Please review the KineticoPRO specification sheet that includes required
components.
Review of the customer’s facility is also recommended, especially critical operating data that could aect the operation
of the system:
Water pressure to the KineticoPRO system aects the performance during regeneration. The KineticoPRO
system will not operate properly if the inlet pressure fluctuates below a dynamic pressure of 25 psi. This
minimum pressure must be maintained to the system at all times. Should the pressure fluctuate below this
level, a booster pump may be required.
Do not use on water pressure that exceeds 125 psi or water temperature that exceeds 120° F.
Do not install the KineticoPRO Softener in an area where the temperature can cause the unit to freeze. Damage
to the system will result.
It is recommended that a WQA certified installer perform the installation. Failure to install the system as
instructed will void the warranty.
Proper ventilation must be provided when using PVC cleaner or glue.
An appliance dolly should be used when transporting equipment on stairways.
A prefilter should be used before a softener to prevent any foreign material from getting into the equipment.
VERY IMPORTANT! Where a brine drum overflow could cause damage, a 1/2” I.D. overflow line must be installed
on the barbed fitting on drum and connected to a drain. Make sure the drain is not higher than barbed fitting.
NOTE: Clear area along wall where PVC drain line will be run to floor drain. Kinetico does not recommend
running flexible tubing across the floor or along walls, as it may be kicked out of discharge point at floor drain,
or line may become pinched resulting in improper backwashing.
When installing a plastic component in line, it is recommended that grounding straps be put in place BEFORE
the lines are actually cut to ensure that the ground is never broken.
When installation is complete, plumbing lines must be chlorinated for sanitation. Common household bleach
may be used. The amount of bleach will vary on plumbing size, lengths and fixtures. See page 25 for sanitization
procedure.
On iron bearing water, a salt which contains resin cleaning additives is recommended.
(IMPORTANT! This does not apply to tannin units.)
NOTE: A clean grade of salt is strongly recommended. Do not use rock salt.
Read all steps, guides and rules carefully before installing and using the KineticoPRO Softener.

KineticoPRO Softener Installation CP 208 - CP 216
I. Preparation
A. The following tools and materials are needed for installation: Phillips screwdriver, crescent wrench, pipe wrench,
pliers, pipe cutter, thread sealant / Teflon tape, ladder or step stool, drain line tubing and water softener salt.
B. Determine location to install equipment. Make sure that the unit will be on a flat surface. Test the water to confirm
unit is properly sized for installation. If sand/silt or turbidity is present, a separate pre-filter should be installed.
A ladder should be used for all work over head that would be beyond your natural reach. If working continuously
at a height of six feet or more, the appropriate safety devices must be employed.
II. Inspection
Inspect all packaging for signs of damage. Examine the Tip-Tell indicator to ensure
that no one has tipped the system. If the indicator shows otherwise, refuse the
shipment. If the facility has already received the shipment, do not install the softener
as it will not function properly. In either case, contact your representative for
replacement equipment.
III. Turn o Water Supply
Before you begin, turn o the water that feeds the location where you’ll be
conducting the installation.
Caution: water heaters and recirculation pumps may require isolation during
this process to prevent damage. Be sure to discuss with the site manager to
determine the best course of action.
IV. Set Equipment in Place
A. Set the equipment in place so you can determine the best plumbing orientation.
B. FOR MEDIA INSTALLATION: Remove module and remote bases from media tanks.
• Properly cover the distributor tubes to prevent media from getting inside.
• For the Model CP 213, place 25 lb or 0.25 ft3of gravel into each tank. For the Model
CP 216, place 75 lb or 0.75 ft3of gravel into each tank. No underbedding is used in
Models CP 208 and CP 210.
• For the Model CP 208, place 0.70 ft3of high capacity resin into each tank. (This
should leave 15” of freeboard). For the Model CP 210, place 1.50 ft3(1 1/2 bags) of high
capacity resin into each tank. (This should leave 15” of freeboard). For the Model CP
213, place 2.5 ft3(2 1/2 bags) of high capacity resin into each tank. (This should leave
14” of freeboard). For the Model CP 216, place 4.0 ft3(4 bags) of high capacity resin
into each tank leaving 18” of freeboard. Freeboard depths are estimates, and will
change with settling and the form of resin.
• Remove covering from distributor tubes, and replace the module and remote bases
onto tanks.
Note: the CP 216 has an adapter with distributor that must first thread onto the tank before the
module is installed.

V. Connect System
Option 1 - Prepare the Kinetico By-pass Valve (Item # 11351A sold separately)
NOTE: Each port on the by-pass valve carries a specific letter designation you’ll use for identification.
A. Determine which port on the by-pass valve will accept the raw water connection.
You can select either the A port or the B port.
B. Next, determine which port on the by-pass valve will connect to the system inlet.
You can select either the C port or the D port.
C. Turn the handle until the yellow by-pass indicator shows in the viewing window and
remove the handle by pulling it away from the valve body. Remove the handle.
D. The by-pass valve allows you to choose from four installation configurations. To
configure your valve, first locate the blackout decal located in the installation
kit. You’ll apply the decal to the indicator wheel based on the flow configuration
you’ve chosen to allow users to select the proper valve modes and black out
those they shouldn’t use.
E. Look on the underside of the handle and align the keyed area properly with the shaft. Push the handle until it snaps
into place.
F. Prepare the by-pass valve by first lubricating and installing all necessary o-rings
onto the adapter elbows. Next install the o-rings onto the by-pass valve itself.
G. There are specific left and right elbows. Install the adapter elbows onto the by-
pass valve. Install the left elbow onto the D port. Install the right elbow onto the
C port. Install E-clips here.
H. Insert the entire by-pass assembly into the softener.
I. Insert the plumbing adapters into the by-pass valve. Dry fit connections in order to
determine the best place to cut into the plumbing to connect the in and out ports.
J. Once measurements are taken, remove the adapters from the by-pass valve.
Move the softener away from the plumbing and remove the entire by-pass
assembly, first removing the E-clips. Do not sweat any plumbing with the by-pass
valve attached.
