Where is the system installed and how much space does it need?
Short Answer
Both Flow 2 and the Softener are installed at the main water entry point of your property, typically in a pump room or service area. They are whole-property systems and are not installed under sinks or inside bathrooms.
Where Flow 2 Is Installed
Flow 2 connects directly to the main incoming water line before water is distributed throughout the property.
It is usually installed in:
Pump rooms
Utility or service areas
External covered service spaces
Basement plant rooms
Flow 2 requires:
Space of approximately 700 × 400 × 1100 mm
Access to a drain outlet (for automated flushing)
Standard power supply (100–220 V)
60–80 cm clearance in front for servicing
Flow 2 does not require a separate storage tank and operates as a direct-flow system.
Where the Softener Is Installed
The Softener Series (Model 2, 3, or 4) is also installed at the main water entry point.
It is typically placed:
Before heaters and appliances
In pump or service rooms
In covered external utility areas
Space requirements vary by model size, but all units require:
Main water line connection
Drain outlet (for regeneration discharge)
Power outlet
Access for salt refilling
Unlike Flow 2, the softener requires periodic salt refilling and therefore must remain accessible.
Can It Be Installed Outside?
Yes, provided the location is:
Covered and protected from direct rain
Within operating temperature range (5°C–38°C)
Protected from flooding
Your installer can advise on suitable placement.
How Much Space Should I Plan For?
For most villas:
A standard pump room is sufficient
No additional structural room is required
Units should not be placed in living spaces
If you are building a new property, allocating a dedicated service area simplifies installation and future maintenance.

Important Placement Considerations
Do not install:
Inside bedrooms or living areas
In unventilated enclosed cabinets
In areas without drain access
In locations exposed to direct sun or flooding
Proper placement ensures long-term reliability and easy servicing.
