Pre-Loaded Salt-Free TAC Replacement Tank
Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) Media | Whole House Scale Prevention
The LiquaGen Pre-Loaded Salt-Free TAC Replacement Tank is designed for homeowners who want to replace or upgrade an existing salt-free conditioning system without purchasing an entirely new setup.
Each tank arrives fully assembled and pre-loaded with high-performance Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) media, internal distributor, riser tube, and support components—ready for immediate installation. Simply transfer your existing control valve from your old tank to the new one and reconnect the plumbing. No salt, no regeneration, no wastewater, and no electricity required.
This system provides whole-house scale prevention, helping reduce limescale buildup on plumbing, fixtures, water heaters, and appliances while preserving the natural mineral balance of your water.
How TAC Technology Works
TAC technology does not soften water or remove hardness minerals. Instead, it converts dissolved calcium and magnesium into microscopic, non-adhering crystals. These crystals remain suspended in the water and pass harmlessly through the plumbing system without forming scale.
No sodium added
No ion exchange resin
No backwashing or drain line
No chemicals or ongoing maintenance

TAC Media Sizing & Flow Rate Chart
For proper performance, salt-free TAC systems must be sized based on service flow rate (GPM).
Industry guideline:
1 liter of TAC media ≈ supports up to 3 GPM of service flow
| Tank Size | TAC Media Volume | Max Recommended Flow Rate | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7" × 35" | 3 liters | Up to 9 GPM | Condo / small home (1–2 baths) |
| 8" × 44" | 4 liters | Up to 12 GPM | Small home (2 baths) |
| 9" × 48" | 5 liters | Up to 15 GPM | Medium home (2–3 baths) |
| 10" × 54" | 8 liters | Up to 24 GPM | Average family home (3–4 baths) |
| 12" × 52" | 10 liters | Up to 30 GPM | Large home (4–5 baths) |
| 13" × 54" | 12 liters | Up to 36 GPM | Large / luxury home (5–6 baths) |
| 16" × 65" | 20 liters | Up to 60 GPM | Estate homes / light commercial |
How to Choose the Right Size
TAC systems should always be sized based on peak simultaneous water use, not square footage.
Consider:
Number of bathrooms running at the same time
Showers, laundry, and kitchen usage
Rain showers, body sprays, and tubs
High-flow fixtures or multiple occupants
Undersizing reduces scale-prevention effectiveness. Oversizing improves performance and extends media life.
When in doubt, sizing up is recommended.
Ideal Applications
Whole-house scale prevention for city or well water
Replacement for existing salt-free TAC or NAC systems
Homes wanting scale control without salt or softening
Light commercial use (offices, salons, clinics)
