As a family-owned company operating since 1980, we understand that clean, safe water is not just a convenience—it is a necessity for your health, your home, and your peace of mind. Our deep partnership with Kinetico allows us to offer our customers access to innovative, reliable water treatment technology backed by our local expertise and commitment to exceptional service.
When you choose Clear Water Filtration for your Kinetico system, you are choosing a team that genuinely cares about your water quality. We are not a big-box retailer or a distant call center—we are your neighbors here in the Mad River Valley, and we stand behind every system we install.
Kinetico has earned its reputation as an industry leader in water treatment technology, and we are honored to represent this exceptional brand throughout Vermont. What sets Kinetico apart from other water treatment manufacturers is their commitment to engineering excellence and their unique approach to system design.
Unlike conventional water softeners and filtration systems that rely on electricity and timers, Kinetico systems are powered by the kinetic energy of moving water—meaning they operate without electricity and respond to your actual water usage rather than arbitrary schedules.
The Kinetico Difference
The foundation of every Kinetico system is their patented non-electric, demand-operated technology. This means your system works when you need it—no wasted salt, no wasted water, no wasted energy.
For our Vermont customers, this technology offers additional benefits. Power outages during winter storms are a reality of life here, and while electric water softeners sit idle during outages, your Kinetico system continues working exactly as it should.
Another hallmark of Kinetico engineering is their twin-tank design, featured in their water softeners and many filtration systems. Traditional single-tank water softeners must take themselves offline to regenerate—usually in the middle of the night when you are least likely to notice.
Kinetico's twin-tank systems solve this problem elegantly: while one tank regenerates, the other continues providing soft, treated water. You never experience a moment of untreated water, no matter when regeneration occurs.
Every Kinetico installation begins with a thorough water test. We analyze your water for hardness, iron, manganese, pH, total dissolved solids, and other key parameters. This testing is complimentary and comes with no obligation.
Complete Kinetico Product Line
As your Authorized, Independent Kinetico Dealer, Clear Water Filtration provides access to the complete line of Kinetico residential water treatment products. Our team has undergone extensive training directly with Kinetico to ensure we can help you select the perfect system for your specific water quality challenges and household needs.
Hard water is one of the most common water quality issues we encounter throughout Vermont, particularly for homes on private wells. Kinetico water softeners address these problems with remarkable efficiency.
Kinetico Premier Series – The Premier Series represents Kinetico's flagship water softeners, offering the highest capacity and efficiency for demanding household applications. These systems feature Kinetico's exclusive Quad-Technology.
Kinetico Signature Series – The Signature Series provides exceptional softening performance in a more compact design, perfect for homes with moderate water usage or limited installation space.
Kinetico Essential Series – For Vermont homeowners seeking reliable water softening at an accessible price point, the Essential Series delivers core Kinetico benefits in a streamlined package.
Safe, great-tasting drinking water should not be a luxury—it should be available right from your kitchen tap. Kinetico's drinking water systems provide multi-stage filtration that removes contaminants while preserving beneficial minerals and natural taste.
Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station – The K5 is Kinetico's most advanced reverse osmosis system, featuring their exclusive QuickFlo technology that delivers filtered water at a significantly faster rate than conventional RO systems.
Kinetico A200 Drinking Water System – The A200 provides high-quality reverse osmosis filtration in a more compact and economical package.
Kinetico AquaKinetic A200 – Combining filtration with water conditioning, the AquaKinetic system addresses both taste and water quality concerns in a single, efficient unit.
Beyond softening and drinking water, Kinetico offers comprehensive whole-house filtration solutions that treat every drop of water entering your home. These systems are particularly valuable for Vermont homes dealing with iron, manganese, sulfur, sediment, or other aesthetic and health-related contaminants.
Kinetico Dechlorinator – For homes on municipal water supplies, the Kinetico Dechlorinator removes chlorine and chloramines throughout your entire home.
Kinetico Sulfur Guard – Sulfur—that unmistakable rotten egg smell—is a common complaint among Vermont well water users. The Kinetico Sulfur Guard system eliminates sulfur odors without adding chemicals.
Kinetico Iron and Manganese Filters – Iron and manganese cause orange and brown staining on fixtures, laundry, and surfaces. Kinetico's specialized filtration systems remove these minerals before they can cause damage.
Our Process
Installing a Kinetico system is not a one-size-fits-all process. Our approach begins with understanding your specific water quality challenges and household needs, then designing a solution that addresses those concerns effectively.
Every Kinetico installation begins with a thorough water test. We analyze your water for hardness, iron, manganese, pH, total dissolved solids, and other key parameters. This testing is complimentary and comes with no obligation.
Based on your water test results, household size, water usage patterns, and budget, we design a Kinetico system configuration tailored to your needs. We explain our recommendations in plain language.
Our licensed plumbers handle every installation with meticulous attention to detail. We ensure proper plumbing connections, correct system programming, and appropriate placement for optimal performance.
We never leave a job until you understand how your new Kinetico system works. We walk you through basic operation, explain what the indicator lights mean, and answer any questions about maintenance.
After installation, we remain available for any questions or concerns. We schedule a complimentary follow-up visit approximately one year after installation to verify everything is working properly.
Every member of our service team has undergone comprehensive training directly from Kinetico. We understand the engineering principles behind every system and the proper installation techniques for Vermont's unique conditions.
