Regular system
Filter + Softener
Two tanks split the work: filtration in one, ion-exchange softening in the other, with a brine tank for salt.

Choose the architecture
Four ways a Flow Water system can be built.
The booklets make the difference clear: the right layout depends on whether you want conventional salt-based softening, a smaller mixed-bed footprint, no salt, or every available protection layer.
Mixed bed
One tank, less wall space
Filtration and softening share one media vessel. Lower equipment footprint, with more frequent media service.
Salt-free
No salt. No brine tank.
Conditioning helps stop scale from forming without removing hardness minerals the way ion exchange does.
Full protection
Every layer that fits the water
Filter, softener, brine, pre-sediment and UV can be combined when the home and water conditions call for it.
Know what you are buying
What’s in your system.
A whole-home system is a set of separate pieces, each doing one job. Your build may use some or all of these depending on your water, plumbing and goals.
Filtration Tank
A carbon or blended-media pressure tank on the main line. It treats every drop entering the house — kitchen, showers, laundry and ice maker.
Softener Tank
A separate tank of ion-exchange resin when hardness needs to be addressed. This is the piece that targets scale, spotting and soap scum.
Brine Tank
The shorter tank that stores salt and recharges softener resin. It is the part a homeowner periodically adds salt to.
Pre-Sediment Filter
Installed ahead of the tanks to catch dirt, rust and sand before they reach the control valve or treatment media.
UV Chamber
A stainless chamber placed after filtration so water passes the lamp last on its way into the home. Lamp service is model-specific.
Eight real Flow Water installations
The product lineup, shown as it actually gets installed.
Every system below is based directly on the client’s “See Your System” booklet. These are not renders — they are real combinations of tank size, finish, plumbing and optional protection.
01Filter build
13 × 54 Carbon Filter
13 × 54Stainless cover
Includes: Filter tank · Clack valve · Bypass
Why this build
A single filtration tank on the main line — no softener and no brine tank. The simplest build when the goal is better-tasting water at every tap rather than hardness control.
A premium visible finish when the system sits at the front of the home.
02Most common starting point
13 × 54 Filter + Softener
13 × 54Black fiberglassCopper
Includes: Filter · Softener · Brine tank
Why this build
Filtration and softening on two separate tanks, plus a brine tank for salt. It is the standard footprint for many South Florida homes.
Two treatment tanks plus brine — straightforward to service and configure.
03Premium finish
13 × 54 Stainless + Softener
13 × 54Stainless coverTan brine tank
Includes: Filter · Softener · Brine
Why this build
The same two-tank filter-and-softener architecture, finished in mirror stainless. Finish choices can be specified per component.
The tanks and brine tank do not have to match.
04Compact build
9 × 48 Compact + Pre-Sediment
9 × 48Black fiberglassPre-sediment
Includes: Filter · Softener · Brine · Pre-sediment
Why this build
Designed for smaller homes or tighter equipment areas. Even at the smallest tank size, optional protection can still fit ahead of the tanks.
A smaller tank does not automatically mean fewer components.
05High-demand single-tank
16 × 65 Mixed Bed
16 × 65Black fiberglass
Includes: Mixed-bed tank · Brine tank
Why this build
The largest tank size shown in the booklet, running a mixed-media bed selected for the property. Built for higher simultaneous demand where one treatment tank must carry the house.
Chosen when fixture count and peak demand rule out a smaller tank.
06No salt · no brine tank
13 × 54 Salt-Free
13 × 54Tan fiberglass
Includes: Filter · Salt-free conditioner · No brine tank
Why this build
A no-salt configuration with no salt to carry and no brine tank. Salt-free conditioning works differently from ion-exchange softening, so hardness minerals remain in the water.
A strong option for homeowners focused on scale control without salt.
07Added protection
10 × 54 + UV Treatment
10 × 54Grey fiberglassUV
Includes: Filter · Softener · Brine · UV chamber
Why this build
A two-tank build with a stainless UV chamber mounted after filtration, treating water on its final run into the home.
UV goes last — after the filtration has already cleaned the water.
08Premium compact specification
10 × 54 Stainless + Pre-Sediment
10 × 54Stainless coverCopper
Includes: Filter · Softener · Brine · Pre-sediment
Why this build
Stainless tanks, copper plumbing and a pre-sediment housing on the inlet — premium visible hardware in a compact footprint.
The full premium build does not require the largest tanks.
Inside the tank
The media does the work.
A tank is only the vessel. Flow Water’s booklet positions the treatment media as the part that should be selected around the actual water conditions — not one stock blend for everyone.
Jacobi Catalytic Carbon
Standard · municipal waterUsed for treated city water where chlorine and chloramine are common taste and odor concerns, over a graded gravel underbed.
Coconut Shell Carbon
Base optionA quality activated carbon for improving taste and odor when the water does not call for a more specialized blend.
Bone Char Carbon
Add-onAn alternative carbon specified case by case when the property’s water conditions make it the better choice.
KDF Media
Add-onA copper-zinc media layered with carbon when water conditions call for it; not included in every build.
Custom Multimedia
Specific conditionsUsed when one media will not cover what the water is doing, including properties with well water or non-standard treatment needs.
ResinTech Resin
Softening sideThe ion-exchange resin inside a softener tank that performs the actual softening work.
Everything you choose
Size, finish and hardware — using real installations.
Bathroom count is only a starting point. Final sizing also depends on plumbing size, simultaneous fixture demand, media quantity and the water conditions at the property.
9 × 48
CompactSmaller homes and tight equipment areas.
10 × 54
2–4 bathsA common mid-size fit for many South Florida homes.
13 × 54
4–7 bathsMore media and better flow when multiple fixtures run together.
16 × 65
7+ bathsLarge homes and high simultaneous water demand.
What Flow Water checks before specifying a size: bathrooms & fixtures · main line size · peak demand · water conditions. An undersized system can starve the house; an oversized one is money you did not need to spend.
Tank finish
How it looks on the wall.
Finish changes how the system reads visually, not how it performs. Fiberglass is the standard vessel; stainless can be a tank finish or cover depending on the build.
BlackTanGreyStainlessReal Flow Water work

Why Flow Water
Designed for your home. Installed to last.
The booklets are consistent on one point: the system should be designed around the home, the plumbing, the water and how the household actually uses it.
We evaluate
Water conditions, main-line size, bathrooms, fixtures and where the equipment can physically go.
We design
The right media, tank size, finish, valve and plumbing — without adding equipment the home does not need.
We install
Clean, professional plumbing with proper bypass, full flush and testing before the team leaves.

Quick answers
What homeowners should understand before choosing.
Is salt-free conditioning the same as softening?
No. The client booklet explicitly distinguishes the two: salt-free conditioning helps stop scale from forming, but it does not remove hardness minerals the way ion-exchange softening does.
Do all systems use the same media?
No. The booklet says the media is selected for the water. Options shown include catalytic carbon, coconut shell carbon, bone char, KDF, custom multimedia and ion-exchange resin.
Where do pre-sediment and UV go?
Pre-sediment goes ahead of the main treatment tanks to catch dirt, rust and sand. UV goes after filtration so the water reaches the chamber on its final run into the home.
Does tank finish change performance?
No. Finish changes how the equipment looks on the wall. Performance is driven by the system architecture, media, tank sizing, valve, plumbing and water conditions.
How is the final tank size chosen?
Bathroom count is only a starting point. Flow Water also considers the main-line size, simultaneous fixture demand, media quantity and what is actually in the water.
