2. System Specifications
Inlet/outlet connections:
3⁄4” FNPT with BSP threaded fittings
Nominal flow rate OFPSYS:
up to 38l/min
Flow capacity (continuous flow rate):
up to 38l/min, 24/7/365
for 2 years for the OFPSYS cartridge
Maximum pressure:
90psi / 6.2 bar
Maximum temperature:
38°C
Minimum temperature:
5°C
Capacity:
Elements present in the water will gradually degrade
the effectiveness of the cartridge. Change the OPSYS cartridges
at least once every two years.
A OneFlow
®
Innovative Scale Control system shall be installed on
the cold water service line to condition the tap water just prior to
the service line feeding the equipment it is designed to protect.
The system will be sized for maximum or peak flow rate based
on the specification of said equipment. A OneFlow
®
system may
also be installed to protect multiple pieces of equipment from
the ill-effects of hard water scale provided the aggregate peak
flow rate for each piece of equipment it is protecting has been
considered. The system shall be plumbed with a bypass valve to
allow isolation of filter housing to allow the bypass of untreated
water in the event that service or cartridge replacement be nec-
essary. Bypass is recommended but not required. The installa-
tion area should be suitable in size for the housing to be serviced
without encumbrance. The OneFlow
®
system does not require
additional water to backwash, flush, or regenerate once put into
service. The system shall not require any chemical additives and
shall not require electricity for operation.
1. Introduction
The OneFlow
®
Innovative Scale Control System provides
protection from hard scale formation on internal plumbing
surfaces. The OneFlow
®
system is a single cartridge-based
system that must be installed on a cold water line prior to a
single water heating device (water heater or tankless water
heater) that requires protection from the ill effects of hard water.
OneFlow
®
uses template assisted crystallization (T.A.C.) to
attract hardness minerals and convert them into harmless,
inactive microscopic crystal particles. These crystals stay
suspended in the water and are passed to drain. The system
requires very little maintenance, no backwashing, no salt and
no electricity. Typical hardness problems, especially build-up of
scale in heating elements, pipes, water heaters, boilers are no
longer a concern. OneFlow
®
is not a water softener. It does not
need additional chemicals. It is a hard scale prevention device
with proven third party laboratory test data and years of suc-
cessful commercial, residential and foodservice applications.
OneFlow
®
is the intelligent scale solution and is a great alterna-
tive to water softening or scale sequestering devices.

* Exceeding maximum flow can reduce effectiveness and void
warranty. Pressure drop at peak flow rate is less than 1 bar at
27°C feed water.
** This system is delivered with 3/4” MNPT x 3/4” MBSPT fit-
tings. The fitting marked with red should be connected to the
inlet/outlet of the system.
