Every day the wand filter is collecting this...

We know the Kinetico isn't working right but this is beyond excessive..

Exactly the same problem I had. It would collect in the wand filters, and bunged up my machine completely.... yup, Flex Ice rinse... switched to End Zone, haven’t had the issues since...

Mike. I know you won’t listen to me, but that is Flex Ice doing that. If you listen to me i’ll buy that ugly ass Workhorse vac.

Mike. I’ve been getting the exact same stuff the last few weeks. To the point that the tool won’t even allow any water through at all. A couple times just within mins of the filter being cleaned. And I’m not using flex ice I’m using Harvard heavy duty liquid rinse. Does the stubance look almost like very fine sand ??

Ive only seen the picture above...


I know the jet screens are even worse, needing daily attention. Been running ICE for two plus years. never had this issue.

Flex ice for sure. Had the same issue after a month or so.


And yes the (acorn)strainer was on. At one point I wasn't getting enough flow for the hydro force to work... Bummer.

Maybe a change in your water quality and the Chelating agents reacting more?

Water Softener problems like mentioned?

Not hot enough water to mix?

Just tossing out thoughts

Or he needs to quit messing with the powder alkaline product and go liquid. And if he's stubborn on wanting to use a powder, just use plain soda ash Arm and Hammer. It dissolves just fine.

I loved the Flex Ice, but someone warned me that it would do this. Sure enough it started jamming up my filters. I switched rinses and it stopped. It's too bad because I swear it would kill it on dander jobs and white berber would pop with it.

They boys went through the AT yesterday..

Filters were currently installed in the chem jugs but a month or do ago, they had worked their way off, for how long is anybodys guess

No builld up in the jugs

Fresh tank filter is clean

If its ICE, why now?
