Water heater filter systems don’t push water through tiny pores to block minerals like a typical water filter. Instead, they inhibit scale with media that holds calcium deposits in a dissolved solution to keep them from collecting in your water heater.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you need a water heater filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eA water heater filter system’s primary purpose is to protect your heater, not your health. It does not filter or soften water; it simply softens or inhibits scale. Protecting your water benefits you by reducing maintenance costs and providing consistently hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eTankless water heaters are favored over traditional water heaters, but they are more prone to mineral build-up because of the large amount of heat generated. Higher temperatures lead to a greater chance of limescale build-up, which greatly reduces the efficiency of your water heater. Reduced efficiency results in more energy and monetary costs. Many tankless water heater manufacturers will void the warranty if the water supply is not pre-treated to reduce scale that can damage your equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the advantages of a hot water heater filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cul\u003e \n\n\u003cli\u003e • Protects hot water heater\u003c\/li\u003e \n\n\u003cli\u003e • Increases heater’s efficiency \u003c\/li\u003e \n\n\u003cli\u003e • Prolongs life of heater \u003c\/li\u003e \n\n\u003cli\u003e • Reduces maintenance \u003c\/li\u003e \n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"817\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xt-Tq4c3e24\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a water heater filter work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eA water heater filter treats water before it enters your water heater.

The crystals are so small, they are easily rinsed away by the water flow. This new Template Assisted Crystallization, or TAC process utilizes no salt, so there is no need for a brine tank, and uses no electricity, and generates no waste water. The TAC Anti-Scale System is a single cartridge-based system that must be installed on a cold water line prior to a water heating device like a conventional water heater or a tankless water heater.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHard water is made up of calcium ions (Ca2+), magnesium ions (Mg2+), and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). TAC uses a Template Assisted Crystallization, or TAC process which transforms these dissolved ions into non-charged, neutral chemical bonds, of calcium and magnesium crystals. These microscopic crystals of scale quickly form in treated water and cannot attach to pipes or any surface, and are rinsed away downstream in a colloidal suspension by the water flow. These crystals are heat resistant and are unable to revert to it's dissolved state.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e TAC is not a water softener. It does not add chemicals or remove any minerals. It is a scale prevention device with proven third party laboratory test data and years of successful Food Service and Commercial applications. TAC is the intelligent scale solution as a great alternative to water softening (ion exchange) or scale sequestering devices. \u003cbr\u003eThe TAC media also has a descaling effect on scale already present in old pipes, hardware, etc. The water coming from the media is free of calcium ions. Calcium ions in the already existing scale are attracted to this unsaturated water and add on to the crystals that are now floating in the water. This way existing scale is usually heavily reduced or removed within on to two months. In addition to preventing scale, TAC also prevent corrosion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSCALE \u003c\/b\u003eis the incrustation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) that forms within piping.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow does T.A.C.
