Kind Water Systems WS-6500UV Whole House Water Filter with Salt-Based Water Softener and UV

This is the most complete answer Kind offers for a clear private well: sediment, certified carbon, real ion-exchange softening and certified UV disinfection in one purchase. Its strongest attributes are the two certified stages doing distinct jobs, an NSF/ANSI 42 backwashing carbon bed handling chlorine, taste and odour, and an NSF/ANSI 55 UV chamber in a 316L stainless body handling microbiology, with sediment and carbon upstream keeping the water clear enough for the lamp to be effective. Metered softening removes up to 99 percent of hardness with resin quoted at 15 to 20 years. The weakest attribute is cost against capability. At over four thousand three hundred dollars at list this is Kind's second most expensive system, yet it is still rated for 0 mg/L iron, hydrogen sulphide and manganese, so it cannot address the contaminants most well owners are treating for. No grain capacity is published for the resin bed. Running costs are the heaviest in the range: salt every four to six weeks, sediment cartridges, an annual UV lamp and quartz sleeve, a drain line and regeneration wastewater, plus mains power. Assembled dimensions for the UV build are not published, though the non-UV WS-6500 is already 62 inches wide. The trade is running cost and iron capability for the broadest certified coverage on a clean well.
