What are the maintenance and running costs of Flow 2?

Edited

Short Answer

Flow 2 has predictable, low ongoing running costs. Maintenance primarily involves periodic filter replacement and minimal electricity use for UV sterilisation and automated flushing.
Exact cost depends on usage volume and water quality.


What Ongoing Maintenance Is Required?

Flow 2 includes:

  • Pre-filter

  • Ultrafiltration membrane

  • Activated carbon filter

  • UV sterilisation

Maintenance involves replacing consumable components at scheduled intervals.


Filter Replacement Frequency

Typical replacement intervals:

Pre-filter
Cleaned periodically and replaced only if physically damaged or excessively worn. Under normal operating conditions, replacement may not be required.

Activated Carbon Filter
Every 6–12 months (depending on chlorine and usage)

Ultrafiltration Membrane
Multi-year lifespan (dependent on water quality and maintenance)

UV Lamp
Typically replaced annually to maintain sterilisation performance

Actual intervals depend on:

  • Water turbidity

  • Chlorine levels

  • Total usage

  • Maintenance adherence

The system provides maintenance alerts to indicate service timing.


Electricity Usage

Flow 2 requires power for:

  • UV sterilisation

  • Control system

  • Automated flushing

Electricity consumption is low and comparable to small household appliances.


Water Usage During Flushing

The system performs timed flushing cycles to maintain membrane health.

These cycles:

  • Use controlled volumes

  • Are automated

  • Are designed to minimise waste

Water usage is modest relative to overall property consumption.


Typical Annual Running Cost

Annual maintenance costs typically include:

  • Replacement filters

  • UV lamp replacement

  • Minimal electricity cost

Exact figures depend on:

  • Property size

  • Daily water demand

  • Local water quality

For villas and residential properties, running costs are designed to remain predictable and manageable.
For commercial or hospitality settings, higher usage will increase replacement frequency.


What Happens If Maintenance Is Delayed?

Delaying maintenance may result in:

  • Reduced flow rate

  • Reduced odour reduction

  • Lower filtration efficiency

  • Shortened membrane lifespan

Following scheduled replacement ensures consistent performance.


How to Estimate Your Cost

To estimate accurately, please provide:

  • Property size

  • Number of bathrooms

  • Average daily occupancy

  • Water source (municipal, well, borehole)

We can provide a usage-based estimate.


Important Clarification

Flow 2 does not require:

  • Salt

  • Resin replacement

  • Storage tank cleaning

  • Complex servicing

It is designed as a direct-flow system with automated cleaning cycles.
