Calcite - pH NeutralizationCalcite is a crushed and screened white marble media which can inexpensively be used to neutralize acidic or low pH waters to a neutral, less corrosive output.
- Calcite corrects pH only enough to reach a non-corrosive equilibrium.
- Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 60
- Periodic backwashing will prevent packing, reclassify the bed and maintain high service rates.
- Depending on pH, water chemistry and service flow, the Calcite bed will have to be periodically replenished as the Calcite is depleted
- Low uniformity coefficient for maximum contact for controlled pH correction
- Inexpensive media
- Water pH range of 5.0-7.0
- Service flow rate of 6 gpm/sq ft (Intermittently higher flows possible)
- Backwash flow rate of 12 gpm/sq ft
*** Important! - To
ensure the proper operation of your neutralizing filter, be sure that
when sizing the system your well pump can deliver at least 20% more
water than the backwash requirement of your intended system.
As
the Calcites calcium carbonate neutralizes the water, it will increase
hardness and a softener may become necessary after the neutralizing
filter.
