Can Flow 2 replace my existing system or reverse osmosis setup?

Edited

Short Answer

Flow 2 can replace many standard filtration systems, but it does not replace reverse osmosis (RO) where dissolved salts or TDS removal is required.
Flow 2 is a whole-property ultra-filtration system designed to remove bacteria, microorganisms, and suspended particles — not dissolved minerals or salts.


Can Flow 2 Replace My Current Filtration System?

In many cases, yes.

Flow 2 can replace:

  • Basic sediment filters

  • Carbon-only filtration systems

  • UV-only systems

  • Entry-level multi-stage domestic filters

Because Flow 2 combines:

  • Pre-filtration

  • Ultrafiltration membrane

  • Activated carbon

  • UV sterilisation

It provides full-property microbiological and particulate protection in one integrated system.


Can Flow 2 Replace Reverse Osmosis (RO)?

Not in all cases.

Reverse osmosis systems are designed to remove:

  • Dissolved salts (TDS)

  • Nitrates

  • Arsenic

  • Fluoride

  • Dissolved heavy metals

  • High salinity

Flow 2 does not remove dissolved ions or salts.

If your water source contains high TDS, salinity, or specific dissolved contaminants, an RO system may still be required — either separately or in combination with Flow 2.


When Flow 2 Is Sufficient

Flow 2 is suitable when your primary concern is:

  • Bacterial contamination

  • Microorganisms

  • Suspended particles

  • Chlorine and odour compounds

  • Microplastics

  • Surface water or well water contamination

It is engineered to produce clean, safe water throughout the entire property without a storage tank.


Can Flow 2 Be Added to an Existing System?

Yes.

Flow 2 can:

  • Replace older systems

  • Be installed before or after an RO system

  • Work alongside a softener

  • Integrate into existing pump systems

Final configuration depends on:

  • Water test results

  • Existing plumbing

  • Property size

  • Usage demand


How Do I Know If It Can Replace My Current Setup?

The best approach is to provide:

  • Your latest water lab report (if available)

  • Photos of your current system

  • Property size and number of bathrooms

  • Any known water issues

We will confirm whether Flow 2 can fully replace your system or whether a combined solution is recommended.


Important Clarification

Flow 2 is not:

  • A desalination system

  • A salt removal system

  • A hardness removal system

  • A TDS reduction system

If hardness is your issue, a Softener is required.
If dissolved contaminants are present at high levels, RO may be required.
