Aqua-Flo Water Line Freeze Protection System - Continuous Flow, Prevents Freezing, Automatic Operation, No Water Waste, Reliable Winter Protection

Aqua-Flo Water Line Freeze Protection System – Reliable Winter Protection for Your Water Lines

Protect your water service lines from freezing with the Aqua-Flo Water Line Freeze Protection System. This innovative solution maintains continuous water flow through a closed-loop bleed, capture, and return method, ensuring your pipes stay ice-free without wasting water or requiring constant monitoring. Perfect for homeowners, municipalities, and property managers in cold climates who need dependable freeze protection that operates automatically, even during power outages.

Key Features

Continuous Flow Technology

Maintains constant water movement 24/7 through your service line, preventing ice formation by ensuring water never stops flowing.

Zero Water Waste Operation

Unlike traditional bleeding systems that waste thousands of gallons, the Aqua-Flo freeze protection captures water in a holding tank and returns it to your line, eliminating waste and reducing costs.

Automatic Bleed, Capture & Return Cycle

Operates automatically with 45-minute fill cycles and 4-minute pump cycles, requiring no manual intervention or monitoring.

Failsafe Backup Protection

Built-in overflow system maintains continuous flow even during electrical or mechanical failures.  A unique safety feature that no other freeze protection system offers.

Energy Efficient Design

Consumes only 1 kWh per day (about $30/month), making it more cost-effective than heat tape or electric heating systems.

Enhanced Water Temperature

Water absorbs ambient heat in the tank and gains 2-4°C from pump friction, returning warmer water that scours away ice formations for continuous flow freeze prevention.

How It Works

The Aqua-Flo system provides reliable water line freeze protection through a simple yet effective process:

1. Bleed Phase: Water flows from your service line through an orifice into the 74-liter holding tank at approximately 1 liter per minute
2. Capture Phase: As the tank fills, trapped air releases through an air valve, and a pneumatic switch monitors water levels
3. Return Phase: When the tank reaches capacity, the pump activates and forces water back into your service line at higher pressure
4. Cycle Repeat: The complete cycle takes about 50 minutes and repeats continuously
   During power outages, the system's failsafe overflow feature ensures water continues flowing through an overflow valve into a floor drain, maintaining freeze protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Aqua-Flo prevent water waste?

The system captures all bled water in a holding tank and pumps it back into your service line. It creates a closed-loop system with zero waste, unlike traditional bleeding that sends water directly to the sewer.

What happens during a power outage?

Aqua-Flo features a unique failsafe overflow system that maintains continuous water flow even when the pump isn't operating, ensuring freeze protection continues during electrical failures.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is straightforward for most homeowners or contractors. The system connects to your service line with a simple tee fitting and plugs into a standard 120V outlet. Professional installation is available if preferred.

How much does it cost to operate?

Aqua-Flo consumes approximately 1 kWh per day, costing about $30 per month to operate, significantly less than electric heat tape systems and far more reliable.
Will this work with my existing plumbing?
The system works with service pressures from 40-100 PSI and accommodates various line sizes. Check the coverage table above to ensure your service line length is within specifications.

How long will the system last?

With proper installation and minimal maintenance, Aqua-Flo systems provide reliable service for many years. The robust construction includes quality components designed for long-term operation.
