Our history

In 1970, Kinetico was founded by two engineers who were looking to design a better water softener.

It took years of trials and failures, but the two built the first twin tank, demand operated, non-electric water softener which revolutionized the water treatment industry.

Kinetico is now an Axel Johnson Inc. company, but the same principles of innovation, creativity and forward-thinking are still behind everything we do.
