Hello- We bought our house about a year ago and it came with a well and a dizzying array of water treatment equipment. It has a well pump, a softener, a pressure tank, a chlorine injection system, and a kinetico product of some kind (oh and an RO system under the kitchen sink). The Kinetico is a twin tank and is marked "K60" as the model on the local dealer's sticker. I can NOT [edit:)] read the serial number. It has a single discharge line and no other lines connected to it (other than the water). Lately (after a ton of research and two different techs coming to the house) I've been assuming that this is a self regenerating carbon filter. Is that possible? I'm not able to find much info on the web about kinetico systems, which is quite frustrating. They seem to be quite keen on working only through local dealers. Unfortunately, the local dealer has already come out and their suggestion was to replace all of the equipment with brand new stuff for $6000 :(

The plumbing to my well tank disintegrated, and i decided to replace the 25 yr old well tank while i was at it. The new tank is a bladder style like the old one , but the pressure switch on it is a 40-60, whereas the old one was 20-40. I bought this setup at the local plumbing supply house - and they recommended the increased psi. The problem is that since then, i have terrible problems with the water quality. I have always had a little rust issue, but it is horrible now and it has been going on for 4 months. The glasses are all covered with white deposits, the toilets, showers, sinks are all red, my white clothes are pretty much ruined at this point, and at my closest point of use the water often smells like rotten egg... I have put softener cleaner thru the resin and it did help, but not enough. i had 3 different companies out and each one had different suggestions, altho all 3 agreed that the water that they tested was soft. 1 suggested a 1500$ tannin filter, another suggested kinetico dual water system - that maybe it was a capacity issue, and the third suggested an iron prefilter. i am stumped, and really tired of cleaning red fixtures and listening to my family complain about the water. i dont see what a new well tank and pressure switch and new copper plumbing could have to do with all this - so am not sure if it is a coincidence or ? i will tell you that i live in michigan in the middle of the woods, and that we have had more rain this year than i have ever seen...and not sure if that could be affecting my supply either.
