Cold Weather Protection

If your Kinetico 2020c is installed outside or in an area that is not heated, you may want to take 

precautionary measures to prevent damage to your unit from freezing.  Kinetico offer cabinets 

specifically designed to protect your softener from freezing temperatures.  Please call your local 

dealer for more information.
