My Kinetico 60 k?p over fow water from the tank. What is the problem and how to fix it

Some water softeners you can increase the back wash time on the unit to clear out a smell or bad taste , rotten egg smell can be sulfur. You may need a well flush but seek a well company on that for there advice as its not cheap .

Is it sitting in the pan or is it elevated over the pan? It is hard to see the leaking if it is sitting flat in the pan. Check all the connections, top and bottom. Wipe them dry and then run your hand over the connections and feel for water. Also check under the heating element covers for leaks. Good luck!

Depending on the size (volume) of the tank, you should feel the water rise above ambient temperature in as little as 10 - 30 minutes. Hot water should be available in 20 - 60 minutes for electric water heaters - and slightly less for LP / Gas fired heaters.

Gas or electric?
Electric water heater ... then test for crossover, check for water leak, replace thermostats, test elements
Gas water heater ... test for crossover, check for water leak

water leak: turn off all taps and put ear against pipe and listen for water leak... check if water meter advances when all water taps are off.

You have to replace water heater.
But you can buy-time if leak is small by turning heater off except when you need hot water. This will give you 30-60 days to shop and find best heater.

To prevent tank from rusting in this manner, inspect and replace anode rod each 2-4 years, and keep water pressure below 80psi.

65 gallon water heater should fill more than 1 bathtub since typical bath only uses 12-14 gallons hot water. First hour delivery on your tank should be greater than 60 gallons.

Since you have such a small amount of hot water, it sounds like bottom element is burned out, or one of the thermostats is bad. There are two thermostats, and two 4500 Watt elements on 65 gallon tank.
If upper element was burned out, or water heater was not getting 240V electricity, then you would have NO hot water. So we know upper element is good and circuit is good.

Ordinary tank-type electric water heater is fully repairable by homeowner and parts are available at hardware or home center.
I suggest taking 30 minutes and doing troubleshoot before replacing any parts.
Buy cheap multimeter from home center.
When testing voltage, rotate multimeter dial to 240-250-277 VAC
When testing elements or continuity, rotate dial to Ohms.

I no longer need help. Took the item back. Didn't come close to fitting around the hot water tank.
Thank you

you might also want to check into the piping in your house is it gavinized, cpvc or copper, this could also make a diffrence, you could also be pulling mud from the bottom of your well, the anoid rod in the water heater will keep you from seeing this in the hot side lines,suggest to have a test done on the water take a jar with a lid and take it to your local plumbing supply house and see if they can't have it tested then you will have all your answers, the test i'm in md. it cost us aprox 40.00 to have the complete water test,
