Note To The Home Owner
Your OneFlow system will improve the properties of water
throughout your home. Here are some things to expect and
some recommendations for maximizing the benefits and your
enjoyment of OneFlow.
the dishwasher should be greatly reduced. We recommend
that you immediately reduce the
amount of dishwashing deter-
gent by approximately 50% as
compared to hard water use.
Dishwashing detergents low in
phosphates are highly recom-
mended as they are better for
the environment and phos-
phates can cause spotting. In
very hard water areas, the use of a
rinse aid may be advised.
Shower doors and tiles- should
have reduced spotting. When water
evaporates off a surface, small spots
may be left behind. Depending on
water chemistry, these spots may be
easy to remove with a damp
cloth or sponge.
In the bath Soaps and
shampoos will also rinse off
much easier and faster than
they would with traditional soft
water. We recommend the
use of modern soaps for the
best results.

Sinks and fixtures - should
have reduced spotting. If water
is allowed to evaporate off a
surface, small spots may be left
behind. Many times this residue
is easier to clean up than the
previous hard water spotting.
Dishwasher-Spotting on

Things to watch for:
During the first 30-90 days:
• Faucet aerators and drains may plug occasionally as old scale
is removed from your plumbing system and water heater.
• You may also see milky water after installation of the system.
This could be due to trapped air within the plumbing system or
the descaling effect of OneFlow and will eventually go away.
Good practices:
If your dishwasher is severely coated with scale at the time of
installation, we recommend that you purchase a product like
Jet-Dry
Dishwasher cleaner to accelerate the cleaning. After this
®
initial cleaning OneFlow should keep it clean.
We also recommend that you drain your water heater tank. This
should be done 30 to 60 days after OneFlow is installed, and
again in one year. This is a good practice that can dramatically
increase the life of your water heating appliance. The OneFlow
will help keep the tank and heating elements free of scale and
operating at peak efficiency. Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions when draining the tank!
