OneFlow Anti-Scale System
Connection Sizes: 34" (20mm)
Flow Rates: From 0.5 gpm to 5 gpm (1.9 lpm to 18.93 lpm)
The OneFlow Anti-Scale System provides protection from
scale formation on internal plumbing surfaces. The OneFlow
system is a single cartridge-based system
that must be installed on a cold water line prior to a single
water heating device (water heater or tankless water heater).
OneFlow uses template assisted crystallization (T.A.C.) to OFTWH-C
