OPERATION
1. General information
Thank you for your purchase of your Scale TAC-ler Plus Series
Salt-Free Hard Water Conditioner. You have purchased one of the
finest hard water treatment systems on the market today. Scale
TAC-ler Plus uses the latest in salt-free hard water conditioning
media technology to reduce or eliminate hard water mineral scale
in tankless water heaters. Scale TAC-ler Plus is an environmental-
ly-friendly alternative to conventional water softeners to prevent
the formation of hard water scale in your plumbing system, water
treatment equipment, water heater, dishwasher, and more.
This manual is designed to provide owners, installers, and service
technicians with detailed information about the installation, start-
up, and operation of your new water treatment system.
The heart of your Scale TAC-ler Plus system is its highly-specialized
Template Assisted Crystalization (TAC) media. To ensure optimal
performance and life of your TAC media, it is important that these
instructions be followed and that the system is operated within the
technical specifications provided. Your warranty may be voided
if you fail to follow these instructions and/or fail to operate your
treatment device within the guidelines noted.
Your Scale TAC-ler Plus water treatment system is designed to offer
low maintenance operation. The Scale TAC-ler Plus filter cartridge
will need to be replaced roughly every 2 years. As the TAC media
is the most critical component to the success of your Scale TAC-ler
Plus system, we strongly recommend that only authentic Stiebel
Eltron Scale TAC-ler Plus Series filter cartridges be used to replace
your cartridges.
NOTE:
Read these instructions carefully before using the ap-
pliance and keep them for future reference.
Pass on the instructions to a new user if required.
