Kinetico Sulfur Guard System
Maintaining Your Kinetico Sulfur Guard
System
Adding Regenerant
Proper maintenance of your system will keep your water free from the offensive
smell of hydrogen sulfide. Ongoing maintenance requires monitoring the
level of household bleach or hydrogen peroxide in the system's regenerant
tank and replacing it as necessary. To replenish the system's regenerant reserve,
The Sulfaban media bed in your Kinetico Sulfur Guard System will provide you
with years of trouble-free service. The Sulfaban media may require replace-
ment within five years, although its life will vary depending upon the amount
of hydrogen sulfide in your water. If you notice a hydrogen sulfide smell in
your water, your water conditions may have changed and your system may
only require slight adjustment by your local, authorized Kinetico water pro-
fessional. If the smell returns after your system is adjusted, the Sulfaban media
may need to be replaced. Depending on your water chemistry, you may also
need to disinfect your home's plumbing system. Your Kinetico water profes-
sional will replace the media and test your system to make sure it continues to
provide water free of hydrogen sulfide.
Shutting Off the System
If you ever notice a problem with your system, shut off the water supply and
contact your local, authorized Kinetico water professional for prompt service.
Although installations will vary, most Kinetico dealers will include a by-pass
valve that can be used to "by-pass" the system in the event you still need
water in your home. If your system was installed with a Kinetico By-Pass
Valve, simply rotate the handle on the valve to the by-pass position so water
can be rerouted around the system.

unscrew the cap on the holding tank (your tank may be
different) and pour additional regenerant into the
opening (see photo).
WARNING: Do not overfill the tank. Use only
UNSCENTED common household bleach
(5 1/4% Sodium Hypochlorite) or hydrogen
peroxide. Keep out of reach of children and
follow all safety precautions outlined by the
bleach manufacturer. Replace the cap and hand
tighten firmly when you're finished.
