“Is a Kinetico water system worth the cost?” is a question Secondwind’s water experts get regularly from New Hampshire residents. Kinetico products are not the least expensive option on the market, but here’s a hard truth: you get what you pay for. We’ve had people talk with us about Kinetico and occasionally choose another system. But after just a couple years they typically come back to us to upgrade to a Kinetico product.

As one of the founders said, “All roads lead to Secondwind.” What that means is people might not buy from us the first time around, but when that product doesn’t meet their expectations, they call us back and go on to become a repeat customer.

You can spend less money installing another system and have to replace it after a handful of years—or you can invest in Kinetico and only have to do it once. The Kinetico warranty and reliability combined with Secondwind’s keep customers loyal to Secondwind for upwards of 30 years.

Here’s what it comes down to.

Clean Water Has Several Benefits

Are these important to you?

• Water that’s free of both natural and manmade contaminants
• Water that tastes better
• Water that better protects your plumbing and appliances
• Water that makes your skin and clothes feel better

If you answered yes to any of these, then you would also say yes to the question: is a Kinetico water system worth the cost? A Kinetico water softener costs more than some other brands, but the quality, reliability, and service backed by a local New Hampshire dealer—available 24/7—are well worth the cost, and can be even loss costly in the long run Many of the Kinetico systems only need to be serviced every three to five years, which helps greatly reduce maintenance costs.

We’re confident recommending Kinetico for water softening and water filtration—in fact, we stake our reputation on it every day.

Secondwind takes a lot of pride in our large residential NH customer base. Our customers are also confident recommending us. In fact, the vast majority of our new residential customers come from referrals.

Kinetico Water Systems Have Been Endorsed by HGTV’s Mike Holmes

Mike Holmes is a popular  home builder/TV personality, and his show, Holmes Family Rescue, features Kinetico water systems.

“I want people to be aware of what’s in their homes, and how to improve and protect these things – like their water. I am excited to partner up with Kinetico to help homeowners understand the importance of having their water analyzed and diagnosed by a water professional and then lead them to Kinetico’s reliable and customized solutions to treat their water,” said Mike Holmes.

Kinetico Systems Are Lower Maintenance, Saving You Money

Efficiency is one reason Kinetico is worth the cost, as a Kinetico water softener cuts your salt consumption by up to 70% compared to other softeners on the market.

When you’re using 70% less salt, that’s 70% less time going to the store to buy more salt and going down into your basement to unload that 40-pound bag.

Because of those efficiencies, Secondwind doesn’t need to service most systems every year. Most of our systems only need preventive maintenance every five years. Kinetico systems last an average of 20 years.

Kinetico’s Reverse Osmosis System Has These Cost Benefits

• The Kinetico RO K5 system is installed right in your basement or under the kitchen sink, with filtered water feeding a separate designer faucet—and the refrigerator/ice maker, if desired.
• The system is able to treat drinking water for many common water contaminants as it features a reverse osmosis membrane, and two extra ports for auxiliary filtration treatment of local issues (such as PFAS, arsenic, VOCs, and bacteria) and can add beneficial calcium minerals.
• The unique tank design allows the system to refill faster and deliver water under better pressure than other RO systems, without the need for a booster pump.
• Kinetico’s unique MACGuard filter counts the gallons of water used, provides a visual display of when the filter is reaching capacity, and shuts the system off when it is time for a water filter change. This functionality helps ensure you only drink clean, safe drinking water.
• Kinetico’s unique EverClean Rinse increases water quality and membrane life.

If you’re still wondering if the Kinetico system is worth the cost, it all comes down to how much you value quality products and quality service. Kinetico is the way to go—and worth the cost.
