Homeowner struggles to size and configure a residential water softening and filtration system that can handle 25 GPM without pressure drop or excessive space.
Standard residential equipment and quotes are either undersized, too expensive, or lack integrated design guidance; existing solutions force the homeowner to manually size tanks, valves, and parallel configurations without clear support for high-flow applications.
Workarounds Described
- manual sizing and comparison of quotes from multiple companies
- searching forums and product specs to understand valve compatibility for progressive operation
- trying to calculate pressure drop and contact time by manually looking up tank and valve data
Implied Software Gaps
- Automated water treatment system configurator that sizes valves, tanks, and media for target flow and pressure
- Wizard for parallel or progressive valve setup with compatibility checks
- Integrated calculator for contact time and pressure drop across carbon stages
FlowFit Water Advisor
An intelligent water treatment system configurator that lets homeowners and plumbers input flow rate, water quality, and space constraints to generate an optimized equipment list with guaranteed pressure performance. It replaces manual trial-and-error with a wizard that sizes tanks, valves, and media for high-flow residential or light commercial needs, and can even recommend parallel or progressive valve setups.
- Flow-based sizing engine for softeners and carbon filters up to 25+ GPM
- Parallel tank configuration wizard (e.g., dual WS1.25 or WS3)
- Pressure drop calculator for each stage
- Space constraint visualizer (basement dimensions)
- Integration with major valve brands (Clack, Pentair, Fleck)
- Quote generation for ordered equipment list
