Introduction
The OneFlow + system is an economical and environ-
®
mentally 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
prevention cartridge.
The OneFlow + system uses template assisted crystal-
®
lization 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 and on fixtures, are reduced.
The OneFlow + system is not a water softener. It does not
®
add chemicals. It is a scale prevention device with proven
third party laboratory test data and years of successful
commercial, residential and food service applications. The
OneFlow + system is the intelligent scale solution and is a
®
great salt-free alternative to water softening (ion exchange)
or scale sequestering devices.
