What Flow 2 Does NOT Do
Short Overview
Flow 2 is a point-of-entry multi-stage water purification system engineered primarily for treated municipal tap water and frequently suitable for stable deep well sources, subject to water quality assessment.
Flow 2 is designed as a treatment component within a properly engineered plumbing system. It does not compensate for incorrect pipe sizing, inadequate drainage, non-compliant installation, or untreated high-risk water chemistry.
Flow 2 Is Not a Water Softener
Flow 2 does not reduce hardness (calcium and magnesium).
If a property experiences scaling, limescale staining, or high hardness values, a dedicated water softener (ion exchange) is required.
Flow 2 Does Not Remove Dissolved Salts / TDS
Flow 2 is not a reverse osmosis (RO) or nano-filtration (NF) system and does not significantly reduce:
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Dissolved salts / conductivity
Nitrates
Fluoride
Arsenic
If reduction of dissolved solids is required, additional dedicated treatment (e.g., RO/NF or specific media) must be used.
Flow 2 Is Not Designed for Certain High-Risk Raw Sources Without Pre-Treatment
Flow 2 is not intended as a standalone solution for:
Raw surface water (river/lake) without pre-treatment
Industrial wastewater
Seawater or brackish water
Highly contaminated sources requiring specialist treatment
Deep well / borehole water may be suitable, but must be assessed based on turbidity, iron/manganese, hydrogen sulfide, microbiology, and other site-specific parameters.
Flow 2 Does Not Guarantee Universal Contaminant Removal
Flow 2 improves water quality through filtration, adsorption, and UV disinfection, but it is not marketed as:
A medical device
A laboratory-certified guarantee of pathogen elimination under all conditions
A heavy industrial purification plant
A universal solution for every water chemistry scenario
Performance depends on inlet water quality, installation, operating pressure, and maintenance.
Flow 2 Does Not Replace Professional Installation
Flow 2 does not eliminate the need for:
Correct plumbing layout and sizing
Appropriate drainage provisions for flushing cycles
Electrical safety compliance and grounding
Local code compliance
Proper commissioning and leak/pressure testing
Installation quality directly impacts performance, reliability, and service intervals.
Flow 2 Is Not User-Serviceable Internally
Users should not:
Open the housing
Access internal electrical components
Modify internal plumbing
Bypass safety functions
Replace internal boards or wiring
Servicing must be performed by qualified professionals.
Important Clarification
Using Flow 2 outside intended water conditions or installation standards may:
Reduce performance
Increase maintenance frequency
Increase fouling risk
Affect warranty coverage
Suitability should be confirmed prior to purchase through a basic water analysis and technical review.
