in more ways than one. Rabb/Kinetico Water Systems is a company based here in Warsaw that makes non-electrical home water systems (that, as I understand it, is where “Kinetico” comes in) that use far less salt than your typical electrical water softener; that also means, as I understand it, a lot less water wastage with their systems. They do good work with a good product; they also do good work in other ways, as Don Clemens, the company’s president, is one of the founders and leaders of Men Following Christ, a local Christian ministry. They’re admirable folks, and it’s good to see them getting a little attention beyond our community here: the Times-Union, our local paper, reported last week that PBS and Hugh Downs had filmed a segment on Rabb/Kinetico for the network’s “National Environmental Report.” I don’t know when that will be airing, but I hope to catch it (maybe it will be on the PBS website).
Your link to the Kinetico systems appears to be mistyped. (I don’t have a water softener but would love to have one, if I saw one I was convinced was worth the money.
Thanks for catching that–the link’s fixed. I have no idea how that got screwed up like that . . .
FWIW, the water’s hard like rock out here, loaded with iron and sulfur, so softeners are absolutely essential; other places, not so much. I’ve heard really good things about Don Clemens’ product, but I’ll admit I don’t know what it costs.
