Comparison sources
Flowplan compares its product with two named competitors. Every figure in the competitor columns of those tables comes from the manufacturer’s own published datasheet, and this page gives the sentence each one came from, so the comparison can be checked rather than taken on trust.

About these documents
The quotations above are extracts from each manufacturer’s own published material, reproduced here to identify the source of a figure used in a comparison. The documents themselves are not hosted on this site; they are published by BRITA and BWT respectively, and both were publicly available at the time of retrieval.
Flowplan keeps an archived copy of each document as retrieved, so a figure can still be traced if a manufacturer republishes or withdraws it. Those copies are available on request from info@flowplan.dk.
