The benefits of installing a water softening system in your home include: energy savings, less money spent on soap and detergent, smoother skin after showering, increased longevity for household appliances and more. Here at Total Soft Water we have long been supporters of Kinetico and their products, primarily because they are:

• The world’s number one water treatment specialist
• Inventors of the non-electric twin tank water softener
• Experienced with over 40 years in the industry
• Renowned for their superior-quality products
• The largest dealer network in the UK

We would like to highlight their amazing achievement of receiving the House Beautiful Gold Award for Best Kitchen & Household Appliance 2014.

These hotly contested awards have been held for the past 11 years and are a wonderful showcase for great design, innovative products, outstanding services and inspiring retailers across every area of homelife. The awards are given for acknowledged excellence in the homes and interiors market, and last years ceremony held at the London Science Museum was given extra meaning with House Beautiful celebrating its 25th anniversary.

The magazine’s editor Julia Goodwin was quoted as saying – “This year, more than ever, our judging panel, which comprises the best in the business, has been impressed by the high quality of the candidates. Customers can really trust that they’re getting great value and the most exacting standards from every company that has won or been shortlisted.”

The Kinetico 2020c water softener was up against some tough competition in the form of:

• The Hydro Tap All-in-One byZip Heaters
• The 7 Series Expressionist Collection of Kitchen Appliances by AEG
• The Adon XL 6S sink by Blanco UK
• The Dedica Bar Pump Coffee Machine by De’Longhi
• The Hand Blender Set by Dualit
• The Go Chef 8-in-1 Cooker by JML
• The 48L Touch-Bar Recycler by Simplehuman

Even pitted against these brilliant products, the stylish and compact, best-selling 2020c shone bright like a diamond. With its continuous supply of soft water, its ingenious twin-tank system, its longevity (the longest recorded unit is still going strong after 32 years of service) and its advanced self-cleaning mechanism, the Kinetico 2020c is a ‘must have’ water softener.

As kitchen appliances become more and more advanced, and as we are constantly looking for ways to reduce the time we spend performing menial tasks, products which can help to simplify our day to day lives are extremely valuable. Let’s look at some of the other shortlisted products that were up for the Best Kitchen & Household Gadget award.

The Go Chef 8-in-1, the Dedica Bar Pump Coffee Machine and the silver prize winner, the HydroTap, are all ingenious products designed to make our lives easier by cooking multiple foods simultaneously, brewing great coffee at the flick of a switch and producing instant hot water at the push of a button.

In amongst these contenders are a whole host of other great products that never even made the shortlist, so to be crowned the best of the best is a huge feat for Kinetico – and at Total Soft Water this is something we’re more than happy to shout about!
