Why is Flow 2 more expensive than cheaper local filtration systems?
Short Answer
Flow 2 is engineered as a whole-property ultra-filtration system using certified components, integrated UV sterilisation, smart control, and high-capacity performance.
Lower-cost systems typically use fewer stages, lower-grade components, or single-point filtration.
Price reflects engineering, certification, durability, and infrastructure-level performance.
Whole-Property vs Single-Point Systems
Many lower-cost systems are:
Under-sink filters
Single-tap purifiers
Basic sediment + carbon units
UV-only systems
Flow 2 is different.
It treats water at the main entry point and protects:
All taps
Showers
Kitchen outlets
Appliances
Heating systems
It is designed for entire-property demand up to 4,000 L/h.
Certified Components
Flow 2 uses components certified under:
SGS
LFGB
CE
FDA
TÜV
These certifications ensure compliance with international quality and safety benchmarks.
Lower-cost systems may not use internationally certified materials.
Integrated 4-Stage System
Flow 2 combines:
Pre-filtration
Ultrafiltration membrane
Activated carbon
UV sterilisation
In one engineered unit with automated flushing and system monitoring.
Many cheaper systems separate these stages or omit UV entirely.
Smart Control & Automation
Flow 2 includes:
Touch LED control panel
Automated flushing cycles
Maintenance alerts
App monitoring (where available)
This protects membrane lifespan and ensures consistent performance.
Basic systems often rely on manual servicing and visual checks.
High Capacity Performance
With output up to 4,000 litres per hour, Flow 2 supports:
Multi-bathroom villas
Boutique hotels
High-occupancy properties
Lower-cost units are typically designed for low-demand residential use.
Longevity & Infrastructure Protection
Infrastructure systems must:
Operate continuously
Withstand pressure variations
Maintain consistent output
Support long-term servicing
Engineering quality affects durability and reliability over time.
Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) Supply
Pricing includes:
International freight
Customs clearance
Import duties
There are no hidden import costs.
This logistics structure is not typically included in lower-priced local units.
Important Clarification
Flow 2 is not positioned as a budget filter.
It is engineered as a certified, whole-property ultra-filtration system designed for reliable microbiological protection and consistent performance.
Choosing the appropriate system depends on:
Property size
Water source
Performance expectations
Budget
