Questions & Answers
Can the filter be rebeded when it becomes exhausted? Do you sell replacement media to renew the filter?
Can unit be installed outdoors.
You don’t need a water softener with this unit?
How do you know if the unit isn’t working any longer and do you just throw it out when it is done or recharge somehow?
The provided product information states that this is a salt-free water descaler, which means it doesn't use salt or electricity to function. It works by reducing scale buildup in your pipes. The included documentation doesn't specify how to tell if the unit isn't working, nor does it mention recharging. It does, however, come with a 6 year/600,000 gallon limited warranty. I would suggest consulting the Use and Care Manual for further details on the unit's lifespan and how to determine if it needs replacing. You can find the link to the manual in the product details.
I am asking you
Will this filter eliminate calcium hardness and other hard minerals or just reduce? If it doesn’t eliminate what will the hardness level be for water post filter? What is the assumed incoming hardness that allows for 600,000 gal life?
This whole house water descaler system is designed to **reduce** scale buildup, not eliminate it. It uses a salt-free conditioning method to prevent the minerals from forming scale deposits on your pipes and appliances. The system doesn't remove the minerals, but rather changes their form so they don't stick to surfaces. Unfortunately, the provided information doesn't specify the exact hardness level of the water after it passes through the filter, nor the assumed incoming hardness for the 600,000-gallon lifespan. For specific details on water hardness levels and how they are affected by this system, I recommend contacting the manufacturer directly or referring to the product documentation for further information.
Is there a particular water hardness this unit "will not" descale?
This whole house water descaler is designed for residential use and reduces scale buildup without using salt or electricity. It does not specify a particular water hardness level that it *will not* descale. However, the provided specifications do not mention any limitations regarding water hardness. For specific information about its effectiveness on extremely hard water, it's best to consult the manufacturer directly or refer to the use and care manual available on the product page.

600,000 Gallon Capacity Salt-Free Water Softener Alternative with Sediment Pre-Filter
The Tier1 Salt-Free Descaler Water Conditioning System will protect your home from sediment and scale buildup using TAC scale prevention media. Hard water causes scale to build up in your homes plumbing and appliances causing them to wear out more quickly. Pipes clogged with dirt and scale can lose water pressure over time, and water heaters full of scale are extremely inefficient because the scale blocks the heat from getting to the water making the water heater run more often to keep the water hot. It is important to note that while a Salt-Free Descaler / Water Condition can be used as a Softener Alternative it will not soften water or remove the minerals that cause hard water. However, unlike a water softener, TAC conditioned water is able to dissolve away existing scale from your plumbing, doesn't require salt, and doesn't require regenerations. Upflow systems are extremely reliable and low maintenance, because the system uses a simple In/Out head and there are no moving parts to break. As long as incoming water is kept within the system parameters the filter will function until media exhaustion, at which time the media can be replaced without having to throw away the system. Replacement media costs a fraction of the price of a new system making upflow systems even more cost effective in the long run.
