Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station

Using the Kinetico K5

Drinking Water Station

Water is the most important liquid in the world.

And although the water you use for drinking and

cooking constitutes less than one percent of all

water used in the home, its quality is probably

most important to you.

Experts suggest you drink approximately eight,

eight-ounce glasses of water per day. Now that you

have a Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station, you can

rest assured you’re drinking clean,high quality water.And

it will taste great too. With a Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station, drinking

those eight glasses of water will be a pleasure, not a chore.

How To Use High Quality Drinking Water

Since Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Stations signiﬁcantly reduce heavy

metals (such as lead), chemicals,minerals, and unpleasant tastes and odors in

your water*, you may want to make some adjustments when using Kinetico

Drinking Water for cooking.

* e contaminants listed are not necessarily in your water.

Let your taste buds decide how much water to use.

When mixing concentrated juices and drinks or making gelatin, tea or coﬀee,

you may need to adjust the amount of water used. You may ﬁnd that you can

uselesscoﬀeeorteaandstill getthedesired taste.Orinthecaseof concentrated

drinks, you can add more water without getting a watered-down taste. Also,

it probably won’t be necessary for you to descale your automatic coﬀee maker

with vinegar as recommended.

Kinetico Drinking Water is ideal for cooking and baking.

Don’t forget to use water from your Kinetico K5

Drinking Water Station for cooking pasta,and

washing fruits and vegetables. Whenever a

recipe calls for water, reach for your special

drinking water tap.

Use Kinetico Drinking Water in irons and small

humidiﬁers/vaporizers.

For extendedoperationandeasiermaintenance,useKineticoDrinkingWater

in irons and small humidiﬁers.You’ll no longer have to buy distilled water or

suﬀer the consequences of using common tap water in irons and humidiﬁers.

Since water produced by your system has a reduced mineral content, it’s ideal

for use in these appliances and it’s available right at your kitchen sink.

Make ice cubes with Kinetico Drinking Water.

If your refrigerator/freezer is equipped with an ice

maker, you may want to consider running a line

from your system to the ice maker. If you don’t

have an ice maker, be sure to ﬁll your ice cube

trays with Kinetico Drinking Water. Either

way, you’ll be able to enjoy better tasting and

clearer ice cubes.

Houseplants and pets like Kinetico Drinking

Water too.

Don’tforgetaboutyourplantsandpets.Justlikeyou,they’ll

love Kinetico Drinking Water.

How Your Drinking Water Station Works

e Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station oﬀers exclusive seven-stage protection

to ensure you’re always getting good, clean water. e K5 Drinking Water

Station reduces the heavy metals, chemicals, minerals, and objectionable tastes

and odors that may be in your water.We even oﬀer a cartridge that adds valuable

minerals to your treated drinking water.

Stage 1 – Prelter

e ﬁrst ﬁltration stage prepares the water for the reverse osmosis process.

e ﬁve-micron ﬁlter captures sediment and small particulate matter, and

reduces chlorine protecting the reverse osmosis membrane and enhancing

its performance.

Replacement Cartridges:

Sediment Preﬁlter – Part number 9309A

Carbon and Sediment Preﬁlter – Part number 9461A

Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station

Stage 2 – Reverse Osmosis Membrane

After preﬁltration, the water travels to the reverse osmosis membrane where

the primary cleaning is performed. Here, water is forced through a semi

permeable membrane under pressure, and most minerals, chemicals or

objectionable matter that might have been in your water are ﬂushed down

the drain.

Replacement Cartridges:

Reverse Osmosis Membrane – Part number 12752

Stage 3 – Auxiliary Filter #1

e next two stages allow you the ﬂexibility to meet your needs, by oﬀering

you a variety of cartridges.

Purefecta Bacteria/Virus Guard – is certiﬁed to remove more than

99.99% virus and 99.99999% of bacteria. When used with the VOC guard

and an air charge tank, the system is a certiﬁed microbiological puriﬁer. e

Purefecta Bacteria/Virus Guard can only be used in the auxiliary #1 position.

VOC Guard – removes volatile organic compounds. See performance

datasheet for a list of contaminants.

Arsenic Guard – by working with the RO membrane, the Arsenic

Guard is able to remove both Trivalent Arsenic and Pentavalent Arsenic. See

performance datasheet for more information on the two forms of arsenic.

Perchlorate Guard – removes perchlorate, a by-product from rocket and

jet fuel, found in various locations around the world.

Mineral Plus – this exciting new innovation adds beneﬁcial minerals, such

as magnesium and calcium, to your drinking water. is cartridge will also

enhance the taste of your treated water.

Replacement Cartridges:

Purefecta Bacteria/Virus Guard – Part number 12873

VOC Guard – Part number 9307A

Arsenic Guard – Part number 11781

Perchlorate Guard – Part number 11682

Mineral Plus – Part number 13041

Stage 4 – Auxiliary Filter #2

Replacement Cartridges:

VOC Guard – Part number 9307A

Arsenic Guard – Part number 11781

Perchlorate Guard – Part number 11682

Mineral Plus – Part number 13041

Stage 5 – Storage Tank

After the water is processed through the ﬁrst four stages, it is stored in a

tank until needed. Unlike all other storage tanks available, the“water on

water” tank with QuickFlo technology uses your home’s water pressure

to deliver Kinetico Water from your storage tank to your drinking water

faucet. Since the storage tank uses your home’s water pressure rather than

a pressurized air charge, you’ll have a steady, consistent ﬂow of water from

your tap, even if your storage tank is almost empty.

Stage 6 – Postlter Polisher

After leaving the storage tank, the water travels to the next stage of protection,

the MACguard®Filter. Containing activated carbon, the MACguard Filter

gives a ﬁnal polish to your water, further reducing unpleasant tastes and odors.

Replacement Cartridges:

Taste and Odor Filter – Part number 9306B

Stage 7 – Faucet

e ﬁnal protection stage is a custom, decorator, lead-free tap, which is

mounted on your sink. With this tap, you can be sure that lead won’t be added

back into your drinking water.

Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station

What Makes Your Drinking Water System

Different is What Makes It Better

Like other Kinetico equipment, the Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station is

non-electric and demand operated.With demand operation,Kinetico systems

produce high quality drinking water, while they maximize water eﬃciency

and performance.

EverClean® Rinse

Aftershutdown,thesysteminitiates

the EverClean Rinse feature,

which is patented and exclusive to

Kinetico.emembrane’ssurfaceis

automatically cleansed with and left

to bathe in clean, processed water.

is extends the useful life of the

membrane, enables it to maintain

a high level of performance and

prevents inorganic contaminants

from migrating into the treated

water during shutoﬀ.

MACguard Filter

One of the system’s most unique features is the automatic shutoﬀ of the

MACguard Filter. (“MAC” stands for Metered Automatic Cartridge.) After

500 gal (1895 L) of water have been processed through the MACguard Filter,

it shuts oﬀ (no ﬂow or ﬁne stream) to alert you that the ﬁlter is exhausted.

e ﬁlter cannot be reset, and no more water can be drawn from the system.

is signals the need to change the preﬁlter and postﬁlter cartridges,but more

importantly,it prevents youfrom using the cartridges beyond their capacity.

If overused, cartridges lose their ﬁltration ability.

PureMometer® Filter Life Indicator

Your system is equipped with the PureMometer (rhymes with thermometer)

Filter Life Indicator so you can tell how much capacity remains in your ﬁlter

cartridges. Use the PureMometer to estimate when to purchase replacement

preﬁlter and postﬁlter cartridges so you won’t be surprised when the failsafe

MACguard Filter shuts down the system.

Performance Monitor

Kinetico’s Performance Monitor measures the

level of TDS (total dissolved solids) in your

product water every time you draw a glass. A

green light indicates your system is rejecting

the proper amount of dissolved solids. A

yellow light indicates it is not and you should

contact your local, authorized Kinetico dealer.

If the monitor does not light when you draw

water, you may need to replace the batteries in the

control module mounted under your sink.

Oversized Storage Tank

A larger storage tank supplies more water on demand for larger families.

ere’s no need to do anything special to your system. Simply enjoy your

clean, clear Kinetico Water.
