Salt Free Softener

HydroTAC is the ecologically sound solution for removing scale and improving water quality


Product Description

HydroTAC Salt-Free Scale Prevention and Water Filtration Systems use a commercially-trusted, physical water treatment technology to keep scale from forming on pipes and reducing appliance life, along with a high-capacity water filter to remove foul tastes, odours, and sediments for better tasting tap water. A single, compact unit with dual cartridges replaces a space-consuming water softening system and water filtration system — using no salt, chemicals, or electricity.

Better still, it's only 47.6cm tall and doesn't require space underneath for cartridge changes. That means it will fit in your undersink cupboard, unlike most other waters softeners and scale reduction systems.

With a 37 litres per minute maximum flow rate this system is ideal for the whole house up to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms.

Features

  • Effective template-assisted crystallisation (TAC) technology prevents mineral buildup
  • High-capacity, 20-micron water filter removes chlorine taste and sediment
  • One long-lasting cartride replaces three years of salt
  • No backwashing or regeneration required, with zero wastewater to drain

Easy to Install

There are no electrical connections or backwash drains so all you need to do is pipe water in on one side and out on the other. 

Dimensions

Height: 476mm - Width: 289mm - Depth: 205mm

Important information about TAC media

Add water to the canister containing the TAC media and leave it to stand for two hours before dropping it into the housing. If you don't do this some of the smaller particles can escape into the pipework and be lost. 
 

Cartridge life

The Radial Flow carbon block filter cartridge last for 12 months, it should then be replaced.

The TAC cartridge last for three years so every third year you need to replace both the Radial Flow and  TAC cartridges - use the Cartridge Combo Pack.
