Aqualyze
System Comparison Chart
The
Aqualyze Stream
Water Filter System is the simplest in home-plumbing drinking water
systems with the added benefit of straight forward DIY installation.
Stream
consists of minimal components, and is the favourable choice of space-saving,
under-sink filtration systems.
Aqualyze
Stream
has a choice of 2 system options: one for soft water areas, and another
for hard water areas. Both systems remove chemicals including chlorine
as well as bad taste and odour and chlorine, with the option for hard
water areas having additional built-in scale control. Scale is controlled
by the addition of polyphosphate salts to the water that prevent calcium
ions bonding into visible scale.
If you were interested
in removing hard minerals comletely from your water then this isn't
possible with carbon filtration, see the Cascade
Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier.

What
comes in the box:
A
saddle valve with fitted ¼" (red) hose. This connects to
your cold main under your sink.
The
Stream filter and holding bracket
A
chrome faucet with fitted ¼" (blue) hose.
Installation
The simplicity
of the Stream system makes it a popular choice. Installation requires
no shutting off of water supply or cutting pipes. Full step-by-step
instructions are included along with an 0800 helpline. A brief overview
follows:
- Locate cold water pipe
(try running the hot tap for a few minutes so one of the pipes under
your sink gets hot)
- Secure saddle valve around
cold pipe
- Tap into pipe and leave
valve closed
- Choose location of Stream
cartridge and fix mounting bracket, then mount cartridge
- Connect red hose to Stream
cartridge inlet (simple push-fit connection)
- Choose location of chrome
faucet and drill through worktop surface.
- Instal chrome fauct with
included fittings
- Connect blue hose to Stream
cartridge outlet (simple push-fit connection)
- Open saddle valve tap
- Open chrome faucet to
collect water
Although this sytstem claims
an installation time of one hour it could easily be achieved in half
that time.
