Can Flow 2 and the Softener be installed before or after a villa is built?

Edited

Short Answer

Yes. Both Flow 2 and the Softener can be installed either during construction or after a villa has already been completed. Installing during the build is ideal, but retrofitting into existing properties is common and typically does not require major renovation.


Installing During Construction (Recommended)

If your villa is still being built, this is the simplest approach.

Your contractor or plumber can:

  • Allocate space in the utility or pump room

  • Provide a drain connection

  • Route the main water line through the system

  • Ensure access to power (for Flow 2 UV and softener regeneration)

  • Leave servicing clearance space

Planning during construction keeps plumbing neat and avoids later adjustments.


Installing After the Villa Is Built (Retrofitting)

If your property is already complete, both systems can still be installed.

In most cases:

  • No structural renovation is required

  • The unit connects to the main incoming water line

  • Installation is completed within one day

  • Internal bathrooms and kitchens remain untouched

Minor plumbing adjustments may be required depending on:

  • Existing pipe layout

  • Available space

  • Drain access

  • Booster pump configuration

A quick site assessment is normally enough to confirm suitability.


Installation Requirements – Flow 2

Flow 2 is a whole-property ultra-filtration system and requires:

  • Connection to the main incoming water line

  • Drain outlet (for automated flushing cycles)

  • Standard power supply (100–220 V)

  • Approximately 700 × 400 × 1100 mm of space

  • 60–80 cm clearance in front for servicing

Flow 2 does not require a storage tank and operates as a direct-flow system.


Installation Requirements – Softener Series

The Softener Series (Model 2, 3, or 4) requires:

  • Connection to the main incoming water line

  • Drain outlet (for regeneration discharge)

  • Standard power outlet

  • Space depending on model size

  • Access for salt refilling

Unlike Flow 2, the softener uses a resin bed and periodic salt regeneration, so drain access is essential.


Will I Need to Renovate My Villa?

In most cases, no.

Both systems are designed to integrate into:

  • Pump rooms

  • Service areas

  • External covered utility spaces

Only in rare situations — where there is no drain access or no available service space — would minor plumbing modifications be required.


What “Good” Installation Looks Like

After installation:

  • Water flows normally throughout the property

  • Stable pressure is maintained

  • No visible leaks

  • Systems remain accessible for servicing

  • Automated flushing and regeneration run as scheduled

Both systems operate quietly and are suitable for residential environments.


Can the System Be Relocated Later?

Yes. Both Flow 2 and the Softener can be relocated if required.

Relocation should be carried out by a qualified technician to ensure:

  • Proper reconnection

  • Drain access

  • System recalibration if necessary


Before Scheduling Installation

If you are unsure, please send:

  • A photo of your pump room or service area

  • A photo showing where the main water line enters the property

  • Property size and number of bathrooms

We can confirm suitability remotely before scheduling.
