The Superior Water Softener Alternative

Summary of Commercial Water Filtration Systems

Next ScaleStop systems are available in a range of sizes in single tanks with continuous flow capacities of up to 75 gallons per minute for the NSS-1665. For higher flow demand, multiple tanks are installed in parallel. Installation is quick and easy with only inlet and outlet connections. No need for a potable water bypass, no need for a drain, no electrical connections, no controller to set.

The Next ScaleStop (TAC)® technology provides superior protection from scale formation on plumbing and heat exchange surfaces, including mixing valves, ball valves, regulators, and other water handing equipment. The Next ScaleStop (TAC)® systems may be installed at the point of entry (POE) to a building to treat both hot and cold water, or it can be installed directly before a water heating device or other water using equipment that requires protection from the negative effects of hard water.

Next ScaleStop (TAC)® prevents scale by transforming hardness minerals into inert, harmless micro crystals of Calcium Carbonate that pass freely through the water systems and eventually down the drain. These micro crystals remain suspended within the water solution allowing them to pass freely through the plumbing with little to no ability to react to solubility changes that would normally cause scale buildup. The system requires very little maintenance, no backwashing or waste, no salt or other chemicals and no electricity. Typical hard water problems such as build-up of scale or calcium carbonate in pipes, boilers, water heaters and on fixtures are no longer an issue.

The Next ScaleStop (TAC)® is not lon Exchange or a Water Softener and it is not a chemical dosing technology like many anti-scalants or sequestrants. It is a scale prevention technology with proven third party laboratory test data and years of successful residential, commercial and industrial applications. The Next ScaleStop (TAC) is the very best alternative to softening or chemical water treatment for the prevention of scale.

Features

  • Zero waste: No backwashing
  • Zero Discharge: No capture tank required
  • Virtually maintenance free: No salt to consistently add
  • Chemical free: No chemicals required, no salt
  • No control valve: No electricity required
  • Environmentally friendly: Green Technology
  • Improves efficiency of all water using appliances
  • Simple to size and install: Only pipe size and peak flow required.
  • Perfect solution for communities and cities that have banned water softeners
  • The Next ScaleStop (TAC)® does not remove healthy minerals or add sodium to the water supply
  • The Next ScaleStop (TAC)® can be used as a pre-treatment for Reverse Osmosis membranes. (The Next ScaleStop (TAC)® should always be the last stage in any filtration system with the exception of Reverse Osmosis systems in which case it should be immediately before the RO membrane.

Warranty

  • 3 year warranty on parts

Shop with Confidence

  • No sales tax except in California
  • Since 2004

Installation

  • This Next ScaleStop (TAC)® scale prevention system shall be installed on the main water service pipe just after it enters the building, but after other whole building water safety devices such as backflow preventers and/or pressure reducing valves, to effectively address water hardness concerns. A system may also be installed further downstream to protect specific equipment within the plumbing system. The system shall be plumbed with a bypass valve to allow isolation of tanks) and to allow the bypass of untreated water usage in the event that service or media replacement is necessary. The installation area should be suitable in size for the tank(s) to be installed and serviced.
  • New Copper pipes need to have the surfaces oxidized to avoid leaching copper into the water and the new media. This is accomplished by normal use of the plumbing system for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to placing the system into service. Not for use on closed loop systems. Water known to have heavy loads of dirt and debris may require pre-filtration prior to the system(s).
  • The system must operate in an up-flow manner and does not require additional water to backwash, flush or regenerate once put into service. The system must not require any chemical additives and must not require electricity for operation.

Using with other water treatment equipment

Due to the unique properties of ScaleStop, there are some unique requirements for using ScaleStop in conjunction with filtration or other forms of water treatment.

  • ScaleStop must be the last stage in the treatment chain. Do not install any filters after ScaleStop or before any devices for which scale prevention is required point of use filters, e.g. carbon or reverse osmosis are exempt from this requirement.
  • Do not apply phosphate or any other antiscalant either before or after ScaleStop.

Fulfillment

  • Lead time is 2 to 4 weeks from date of order
  • Product is shipped via commercial truck

Note

  • IMPORTANT: Water Filtration Tanks must always be maintained, stored, and installed in the upright position.

🇺🇸 Made in the United States of America.


For years, water softeners have been virtually the only means of treating hard water. Other alternatives including magnets, electromagnets, RF devices and catalysts have been available but few have proven to be effective.

Technology Breakthrough

A recent development, Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) has produced the first effective chemical-free scale prevention method. Based on TAC technology, Next ScaleStop converts hardness minerals into harmless, inactive microscopic crystals.

Tested and Proven

Tested by an independent laboratory against the international protocol for scale prevention, Next ScaleStop achieved a 99.6% effectiveness rating - the only technology to do so and far more effective than the other water softener alternative. Proven on over many years of successful use in homes and business.

Next ScaleStop Science and Technology Overview

ScaleStop Physical Treatment Versus Chemical Treatment

ScaleStop does not require chemicals such as sodium, potassium, acids or phosphates to produce a scale-free effect in water distributions systems and especially water heating equipment. ScaleStop is a far simpler "physical water treatment" and does not extract or sequester the water hardness constituents of calcium and magnesium, but rather consistently influences the crystal structures of these minerals in such a manner that no scale is formed on interior surfaces. ScaleStop neither adds chemicals nor removes chemicals from the water.

To be more specific, rather than attempting to prevent the natural tendency of hard water to form scale (by removing or adding chemicals), ScaleStop treatment actually promotes and redirects scale formation in such a manner that the scale remains suspended in the water rather than forming on surfaces within the water system.

How Does ScaleStop Work?

In cold water, calcium ions (Ca2+), magnesium ions (Mg+2) and bicarbonate ions (HC03-) are surrounded by "layers" of electrochemically-attracted water molecules, which "insulate" against the natural tendency of the oppositely-charged ions to come together and form crystals. Atomic level templates on the surface of the ScaleStop media act as catalysts and reduce the ability of water molecules to prevent calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate ions from coming together to form crystals of calcium and magnesium scale. This process that we refer to as Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) results in the creation of microscopic crystals of scale (seed crystals), which rapidly form in the treated water, not on the contact surfaces of the water system, and are carried downstream in colloidal suspension through the water system.

Next ScaleStop Plus Versus Saline Water Softeners

Each of our ScaleStop Plus Template Assisted Crystallization water filtration systems is exceptionally efficient, saves money, saves water, and does not harm the enviroment. The evidence from independent testing shows that ScaleStop Plus Template Assisted Crystallization is equally as efficient as ion exchange water softners at preventing the formation of scale, and has the added benifits of no salt use, no water waste from regeneration, no electricity use, and importantly, no harmfull brine discharge into drains, groundwater and the wider enviroment.
