What are the maintenance and running costs of Flow 2?
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.
