Kinetico drinking water systems, customized to your water and installed by your local expert.
Water quality varies from home to home, and treatment that is right for one family may not be right for another. Where your water comes from and what is in it decide which system fits.
Kinetico offers tank-based and tankless reverse osmosis systems and under-sink filters. Your local Kinetico expert will test your water and help you choose.
Kinetico’s first tankless, direct-flow reverse osmosis system brings a more modern, intelligent approach to drinking water, with LED indicators, quick-change filters and built-in leak detection.
Kinetico’s top-tier reverse osmosis system includes unique features, a VOC filter as standard, and FlexFilters you can customize to your water now and in the future.
Reverse osmosis uses water pressure to push water through a semi-permeable membrane that holds back very small particles. Kinetico systems add sediment and carbon stages before and after the membrane for performance and taste.
Because the membrane works slowly, tank-based systems like the K5 keep treated water ready in a small storage tank. Direct-flow systems like the HYDRO® ECO™ treat water as you draw it.
Two questions decide it: where does your water come from, and what is in it? Most systems work well on city water; on a well, some are a better fit than others.

Kinetico’s most economical reverse osmosis system. Its three stages (a high-capacity prefilter, a reverse osmosis membrane and a carbon postfilter) improve the taste of your drinking water, delivered through a dedicated lead-free faucet.
It is non-electric, has quick-disconnect filters for easy, sanitary changes, and is tested and certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI 42 and 58. Its limited warranty covers parts for seven years and the RO membrane for two.
A semi-permeable membrane holds back very small particles, so water tastes noticeably better for drinking, cooking, coffee and more.
Kinetico systems pair prefilters, a high-performance membrane and postfilters to improve water at each step.
Flexible filter options let your system target what matters in your home, whether that is taste, odor or a specific contaminant.
Reverse osmosis works across a wide range of water sources, and your expert will confirm the right setup for yours.
A water filter passes water through a barrier that traps specific contaminants. Some filters are not meant for untreated well water, so your expert will confirm the right choice.
A compact under-sink filter for unpleasant tastes and odors, with a dedicated lead-free faucet and a PureMometer® indicator that shows how much of its 500-gallon capacity remains. Model 7000 is tested and certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI 42 and 372; model 7500 is also certified to NSF/ANSI 53 and conforms to it for VOC reduction.
Binder-free catalytic carbon and NanoSmart™ ultrafiltration in a non-electric, on-demand system with a twist-off cartridge. Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI 42 for chlorine, chloramine, taste and odor, and particulates, and to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOS and PFOA.

Learn MoreReverse osmosis, or RO, uses water pressure to push water through a semi-permeable membrane that holds back very small particles. Kinetico systems pair the membrane with sediment and carbon stages for better performance and taste.
Reverse osmosis systems are designed to reduce a wide range of drinking water contaminants, and every Kinetico system lists its certified claims on its performance data sheet. A water test shows which contaminants are in your water, so the system can be matched to them.
A tank-based system such as the K5 fills a small storage tank so filtered water is ready when you open the faucet. A direct-flow system such as the HYDRO® ECO™ treats water as it is drawn, with no storage tank under the sink.
It depends on your water, your usage and the system. As a general guide, Kinetico suggests changing pre- and post-filters about once a year and checking the membrane every year. Cardinal Water Solutions can schedule filter changes for you.
