Note to the building owner
Your OneFlow
system will improve the properties of water
®
throughout your building. Here are some things to expect and
some recommendations for maximizing the benefi ts and your
enjoyment of OneFlow
®
Dishwasher-Spotting on dishes and on the surface of the
dishwasher should be greatly reduced or eliminated. We
recommend that you immediately reduce the amount of dish-
washing detergent by approxi-
mately 50% as compared to
hard water use. Dishwashing
detergents low in phosphates
are highly recommended as
they are better for the environ-
ment and phosphates can
cause spotting. In very hard
water areas, the use of a rinse
aid may be advised.
Shower doors and tiles- should
have little or no spotting. When
water evaporates off a surface, small
spots may be left behind. These
spots should be easy to remove with
a damp cloth or sponge.
In the bath you should notice that
soaps and shampoos lather
more than with un-treated wa-
ter. Soaps and shampoos will
also rinse off much easier and
faster than they would with
traditional soft water. We rec-
ommend the use of modern
soaps for the best results.

Sinks and fi xtures - should
have little or no spotting. If water
is allowed to evaporate off a
surface, small spots may be left
behind. This spotting should not
require any more than a wet cloth
or sponge to remove. No harsh
chemical should be required as
with typical hard water spotting.
Things to watch for:
During the fi rst 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 while the descaling is taking
place. This is simply an increase in the calcium in the water be-
cause OneFlow
is removing old scale deposits from your pipes.

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
again in one year. This is a good practice that can dramatically in-
crease the life of your water heating appliance. The OneFlow
help keep the tank and heating elements free of scale and operat-
ing at peak effi ciency. Please follow the manufacturers instructions
when draining the tank!
