The Inta Activflo Compression Water Conditioner (22mm AF022) is designed for homeowners seeking whole-house protection against limescale buildup. Its primary benefit is improving system efficiency and extending the lifespan of appliances and pipework. A minor caveat is that its effectiveness is dependent on correctly matching the unit's operating flow rate to your property's incoming flow rate. Key features include active limescale reduction, whole-house coverage, and a design that requires no electrical connections.

The ActivFlo conditioner uses a catalytic process that alters the physical properties of calcium carbonate, preventing it from forming hard scale deposits on surfaces within your plumbing and appliances. It does not remove minerals from the water.
Yes, matching the operating flow rate of the ActivFlo unit to your property's incoming flow rate is essential for optimal performance and protection against limescale.
While some DIY-savvy individuals might attempt installation, it is strongly recommended to use a qualified plumber to ensure correct fitting, alignment with flow direction, and secure connections, guaranteeing the unit's effectiveness and preventing potential leaks.
The ActivFlo conditioner reduces limescale buildup but does not chemically soften the water by removing calcium and magnesium ions. You will still have hard water, but the scale-forming potential is significantly reduced.
These conditioners are designed for long-term operation without requiring consumables. Lifespan typically depends on water quality and operating conditions, but they are built to last many years within a properly maintained system.
The ActivFlo is designed for whole-house protection. If it is installed on the main supply feeding your specific flat, it will protect your internal plumbing. Ensure it's installed before any internal branching within your unit.
Verify that the ActivFlo unit is installed on the main incoming water supply. Ensure the flow rate of the unit is correctly matched to your property's water usage. Check for any bypass pipes or alternative water entry points that might not be protected.
Confirm the unit is installed with the correct flow direction. Ensure all compression fittings are tightened correctly but not overtightened, which could restrict flow. If pressure issues persist, consult a qualified plumber to check for potential blockages or incorrect installation.
Gently tighten the compression fittings. If the leak persists, the sealing surfaces may be damaged or contaminated. Ensure the pipe ends are clean and free from debris. A plumber may need to inspect or replace fittings.
Setup: For maximum protection, the Inta Activflo Compression Water Conditioner should be installed on the incoming mains water supply, before any points of water draw-off. Ensure the flow direction indicated on the unit is aligned with the direction of water flow in your pipes. It is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connection and optimal performance. The 22mm compression fittings allow for straightforward integration into standard plumbing systems.
Compatibility: This conditioner is designed for use with standard domestic water supplies. The `AF022` model features 22mm compression connections, suitable for most UK plumbing setups. It is crucial to match the `operating flow rate` of the ActivFlo unit to the incoming flow rate of your property; refer to the product documentation for guidance on selecting the correct model if multiple flow rates are available.
Care: The Inta Activflo requires minimal maintenance. As an inline device, it does not have filters to clean or parts that require regular replacement under normal operating conditions. Periodically check the connections for any signs of leaks. No cleaning agents are typically required for the unit itself.
