Installation, Operation and
Maintenance Manual
Introduction
The OneFlow
®
+ system is an economical and
environmentally friendly physical water treatment technology
that protects pipes, extends the life of appliances, and
provides better tasting water through filtration. The
OneFlow
®
+ system is a dual cartridge-based system with a
radial flow 20 micron carbon block cartridge which reduces
sediment, chlorine taste and odor, and an integrated
OneFlow
®
scale prevention cartridge.
The OneFlow
®
+ system uses template assisted
crystallization to attract dissolved hardness minerals and
convert them into harmless, inactive microscopic crystal
particles.
These crystals stay suspended in the water and have a
greatly reduced ability to react and attach to surfaces like
dissolved hardness does. They eventually find their way
to a drain. The system requires very little maintenance, no
backwashing, no salt and no electricity.
The OneFlow
®
+ system is not a water softener. It does
not add chemicals to the water. It is a scale prevention
device with proven third party laboratory test data and
years of successful residential installations. The OneFlow
®
+
system is the intelligent scale solution and is a great salt-
free alternative to water softening (ion exchange) or scale
sequestering devices.
• Use only lead-free solder and flux for sweat-solder connections,
as required by state, province and federal codes.
• Handle all components of the system with care. Do not drop,
drag or turn components upside down.
• Be sure the mounting surface the OneFlow
®
+ will be installed on
is clean, level and strong enough to support the weight of the
system while in operation.
• Install the system in a protected area.
• Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F (38°C) with the system.
• Always connect the system to the main water supply pipe before
the water heater.
• Do not expose the system to freezing temperatures. Water
freezing in the system causes equipment damage.
• Do not install in direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays from the sun may
cause damage.
• Do not use on water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality.
