Y_tech Marine makers of the Wash & Go spot-free water purification and wash down system has brought a new ecologically sound water conditioner to market.
Powered by a special type of resin and Template Assisted Crystallization technology or TAC for short, the TAC system uses no electricity, no salt and produces no waste. Rather than completely remove minerals from the water like a conventional water softener, the TAC changes the hardness of minerals from their ionic form to a harmless crystalline form which in turn helps keep pipework free of calc, dishwashers without mineral build-up, laundry bright and skin and hair softer and because the TAC doesn’t completely remove the minerals it ‘conditions’ them, it’s a great way to create PH balanced drinking water on-board, reducing the need for single-use plastic.
Y-Tech Marine’s CEO (& ex-captain of 25 years) Rob Ferris explains more ‘For years the gold standard for freshwater purification on yachts has been powered by reverse osmosis like our Wash & Go system, producing ultra-purified, spot-free technical water that is usually found on deck. The use of a water softener alongside is now commonplace but often crew find them operationally difficult and messy. Our feedback from crews so far has been extremely positive about the TAC system especially as it requires no maintenance and needs no salt changeovers or drain connection but has impressive benefits for all departments. It’s just one cylinder but it’s a real game changer.’’
While the TAC system can be used alongside a freshwater purification system, it also has significant benefits as a standalone and for those vessels that do not have space for a full R/O system, Y-Tech Marine have devised a TAC version of their Wash & Go system. As Rob Ferris reiterates working with Owners, Captains & Engineers to devise the right system for each vessel is key to the companies ethos ‘’After 25 years at sea, I know first hand how important it is to have well fitted, reliable equipment on board, helping to increase efficiency, save time and ultimately keep the boss happy.’’  And we couldn’t agree more!
