Description

Whole House Acid Neutralizing pH Adjusted Calcite Water Filter System (10″ x 54″) – 1.5 Cubic Ft

What is Acidic Water?

Acidic water maintains a pH below 7.0, creating a corrosive environment for plumbing. This acidity dissolves metal from pipes, resulting in characteristic blue-green copper stains or red iron leaching from galvanized lines. Over time, this chemical imbalance compromises pipe integrity and damages household fixtures.

What is Calcite?

Calcite consists of naturally occurring calcium carbonate media. Its key characteristic is a self-limiting action, adjusting pH only to a non-corrosive equilibrium without excessive correction under normal conditions. When acidic water passes through Calcite, a controlled dissolution raises pH levels and helps reduce the leaching of metals such as copper and lead from plumbing systems. Routine backwashing prevents compaction, maintains flow efficiency, and reclassifies the media bed. Over time, the material is gradually consumed and requires periodic replenishment, depending on water chemistry, pH, and usage rates.
