Detergent and Your Water Softener
July 12, 2012
Facebook Q&A: Do I need a certain dishwasher detergent?
We got a great question on the Kinetico San Antonio Facebook page this week. Michael asked if we recommend a certain type of dishwasher detergent to go along with his Kinetico water softener.
The short answer is no. We don’t recommend any certain brand of detergent. But it’s important to remember that you don’t need to use as much detergent if you have a Kinetico system in your home. In fact, you can use about 50% less detergent than you would without a Kinetico system. So that may provide some justification for spending a little more on higher-quality detergent, knowing that it will last you twice as long.
Thanks for the great question, Michael!

We're very glad we got this installed. The technician, Alberto, was very polite and thoroughly explained what he was doing and what we would need to do.

Alberto kept me informed on his arrival time. He was professional and exceeded my expectations concerning the install of the water filtration system. I also need to put a plug in for Tracy for her patience and skills at making things happen behind the scenes...a true unsung hero. They both deserve a raise!

I just had my system installed by Alberto and Jay, and I wanted to say that they rocked. Got it all in and gave me some instructions to follow, all while being determined to detail and professional. Thanks, fellas.
