Simple in and out pipe connection and no drain required like standard calcite backwash neutralizers. Raises pH as low as 5.5 up to a near-neutral level using naturally occurring calcium carbonate Eliminates acidity in the pH range of 6.0 to 6.9 by slowly dissolving Calcite ...Simple in and out pipe connection and no drain required like standard calcite backwash neutralizers. Raises pH as low as 5.5 up to a near-neutral level using naturally occurring calcium carbonate Eliminates acidity in the pH range of 6.0 to 6.9 by slowly dissolving Calcite (calcium carbonate) into the water as it flows through the filter.
Depending on pH and service flow the Calcite bed will need to be replenished periodically with more Calcite. Designed for 1-3 bathrooms homes with 3-4 people and treats up to 3.2 GPM The Acid Neutralizing Filter System utilizes the In/Out Valve for superior Upflow pH neutralization. Features: Calcite media helps neutralize acidic water (pH levels below 6.7) by raising the pH The system design helps reduce backwashing that is required for continuous operation The patented fiberglass reinforced tank includes a non-corrosive, long-lasting design Calcite effectively corrects pH enough to reach a non-corrosive equilibrium.
It does not overcorrect under normal conditions. When water comes into contact with Calcite, acidic water slowly dissolve the calcium carbonate to raise the pH, which reduces the potential leaching of copper, lead, and other metals found in typical plumbing systems. The Calcite bed will have to be periodically replenished as the Calcite is depleted.
Calcite can be effectively combined with FloMag Corosex to combine the high flow neutralization properties of Corosex, along with the slower reacting low flow properties of Calcite, increasing the ability to correct low pH. Use Calcite only for pH levels 6.0 - 6.8. Use Calcite/Corosex for pH levels 5.5 - 6.0.
Acid neutralizers introduce minerals back into the water to raise the pH of the water. Consider the HydroBlend SC-605 Scale Control System that prevents scale build-up in your pipes and water heaters. Over time, HydroBlend also helps soften and remove existing mineral scale deposits.
