Zilmet ZAF012MF 1/2'' MNPT X 1/2'' FNPT Activflo Solo Water Conditioner

Description

From Plumbing Deals' product listing.

1/2-Inch Inline Point-of-Use Catalytic Water Conditioner The Zilmet ZAF012MF ActivFlo Solo (MPN: ZAF012MF) is a compact, salt-free catalytic water conditioner designed for low-flow point-of-use applications, protecting fixtures, beverage equipment, and small appliances from limescale buildup. Key Features Easy Add-On for Showerheads Features 1/2-inch threaded connections that allow for simple inline installation directly behind a standard showerhead, protecting nozzles from mineral clogging without affecting water pressure. Proprietary Catalytic Alloy Conditioning Uses an internal alloy coil to catalytically convert dissolved calcium bicarbonate into non-adherent aragonite crystals, preventing scale from bonding to showerheads, ice makers, and heating elements. Salt-Free & Zero-Power Operation Operates passively on water movement without requiring electricity, drain lines, salt brine, or backwash cycles, eliminating wastewater generation. Compact Stainless Steel Housing Constructed with a heavy-duty stainless steel casing engineered to withstand wet mechanical spaces and line pressures up to 150 PSI. Product Details Connection Size & Type: 1/2" MNPT x 1/2" FNPT Inline Optimum Flow Range: 0.7 – 3.6 GPM Maximum Operating Pressure: ~150 PSI Maximum Operating Temperature: ~210°F Housing Material: Stainless Steel Internal Technology: Proprietary Catalytic Alloy Coil Mounting Orientation: Vertical or Horizontal (Install downstream of backflow preventer) Warranty Coverage: Up to 15-Year Product Warranty Shop all Zilmet products Additional Information Brand: Zilmet MPN: ZAF012MF Zilmet ZAF012MF FAQ Can I install the ZAF012MF directly on a showerhead arm? Yes. The 1/2-inch MNPT x 1/2-inch FNPT sizing allows it to thread directly onto standard 1/2-inch shower arms, making it an easy add-on to prevent hard water scale buildup on shower nozzles. How does the Zilmet ActivFlo Solo condition hard water without salt? As water passes through the internal alloy coil, a catalytic reaction forces calcium bicarbonate out of suspension to form non-binding aragonite crystals, allowing hard minerals to flow through without sticking to surfaces. Where else can the ZAF012MF water conditioner be installed? In addition to showerheads, it is designed for point-of-use installation on 1/2-inch lines feeding coffee makers, ice machines, RV water systems, or water fountains. It must be installed downstream of any backflow preventers. Does this unit require electrical wiring or a drain connection? No. The ActivFlo Solo is a passive inline device that requires no electrical power, control boards, batteries, or drain discharge lines. What is the minimum flow rate required for proper catalytic operation? The unit is engineered to engage at low flow rates starting at approximately 0.7 GPM, ensuring catalytic reaction during low-demand draws.
