Pros

Salt softeners are the ONLY way to truly remove hard minerals from your water
Leaves dishes and shower windows clean and scale free
Hard minerals will not be able to cause damage by eating into plumbing and fixtures
Less plumbing damage will result in lower plumbing repair bills
Extends the life of water using appliances and fixtures (except traditional water heaters)
Reduces the amount of soap you will use for showering, dishes and laundry
Leaves skin and hair feeling soft and vibrant (best with 6 stage system)
Clothing washed in soft water will last significantly longer

Cons

All water softeners should have a whole house purification system inline before the softener
If a whole house purification system is not installed water softener damage will occur
Water softeners waste water down the drain in order to flush collected hard minerals. About 80 gallons every two weeks
They can be somewhat costly to install if your home needs to be retrofitted to accept a water softener
They flush salt water down the drain during bi-weekly regeneration
They will eat away at traditional water heaters resulting in premature decay
- Most companies will not tell you this but we have seen this happen hundreds of times over the years
Water softeners can leave you feeling “slippery” when showering

Info

Water softeners are great for protecting your home from the damaging effects of hard water
Warning Chlorine is a corrosive gas that eats plastic and rubber. The media used in water softeners decays when chlorine is not removed from water supply. Eventually the softener will not effectively remove hard minerals from water. We highly recommend adding a whole house purification system before the water softener. This will insure your softener will last a life time. Chlorine is not ideal to shower in as the gas is absorbed directly into your skin as well as your lungs.

Warranty

15 year warranty on exchange tank and salt tank
5 year warranty on parts
5 year no questions asked labor warranty

Maintenance

Automatic softener maintenance
Must add salt to tank once a month or two. One salt bag usually takes care of it
Test system every 5 years to insure system is working properly.

Pros

Zero waste water
Not “banned” in any city
No salt brine flushed down the drain
Will not cause water to feel “slippery”
Can be used in condos and homes without waste water drain
Usually more cost effective to install than traditional water softeners
Uses no-salt template assisted crystallization technology to reduce effects of hard water
Less plumbing damage will result in lower plumbing repair bills
Extends the life of water using appliances and fixtures (great for traditional water heaters)
Leaves skin and hair feeling soft and vibrant (best with secondary carbon add on tank)

Cons

Hard water spots will be reduced but not eliminated as minerals are not removed from water
This system will not save you money on soap as the minerals are still in the water

Info

We have designed this whole house filtration system to reduce the effects of hard water without the hassle of a salt softener. In addition to solving the hard water problem we have integrated a protective media to extend the life of scale stop media. This system has no wasteful back flush system. Removing the drain line allows us to install this unit in almost any home. The removal of the drain line keeps the installation cost down as well. Keep in mind, if hard water is your number one concern you MUST buy a water softener. Water softeners remove the minerals from water. TAC media does not remove minerals. Instead it reformats the minerals so they don’t stick to fixtures and glass. Click below to see the science behind TAC technology.

What’s inside?

Stage 1 = Silica Media
- Designed to remove large particles and provide a solid bed for other media
Stage 2 = Filter Aggregate Media
- Designed to filter medium sized particles and sediment from water
Stage 3 = Spartan Catalytic Carbon (1 cubic foot)
- removes stubborn ammonia chlorine bond known as chloramines
- removes disinfection by products, volatile organic compounds
- removes trihalomethane and pharmaceuticals
Stage 4 = Granulated Activated Carbon (1 cubic foot)
- GAC carbon is designed specifically for micro filtration and removal of chlorine.

Pros

Zero waste water
Not “banned” in any city
No salt brine flushed down the drain
Will not cause water to feel “slippery”
Can be used in condos and homes without waste water drain
Usually more cost effective to install than traditional water softeners
Less plumbing damage will result in lower plumbing repair bills
System will pay for itself in 5 years or less. $1000/person in bottled water/year
Leaves skin and hair feeling soft and vibrant

Cons

This system will not save you money on soap as the minerals are still in the water

Info

We have integrated a 60 liter two stage carbon filtration system into the same unit. For cities that treat water with chloramines we have created a second 60 liter tank to attack the ammonia-chlorine mixture known as chloramines. This system has no wasteful back flush system. Removing the drain line allows us to install this unit in almost any home. The removal of the drain line keeps the installation cost down as well. Keep in mind, if hard water is your number one concern you MUST buy a water softener.
