13"x54" Calcite Whole House Water Acid pH Neutralizing System + Automatic Backwash Timer Valve - Commercial Sized

13"x54" Calcite Whole House Water Acid pH Neutralizing System + Automatic Backwash Timer Valve - Commercial Sized

Calcite is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate media. One of the advantages of Calcite is its self-limiting property. When properly applied, it corrects pH only enough to reach a non-corrosive equilibrium. It does not overcorrect under normal conditions. Upon contact with calcite, acidic waters slowly dissolve the calcium carbonate to raise the pH which reduces potential leaching of copper, lead and other metals found in typical plumbing systems. 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. As the Calcite’s calcium carbonate neutralizes the water, it will increase hardness and a softener may become necessary after the neutralizing filter.

• Raises pH of water to a non-corrosive equilibrium. Neutralizes Acidic water and helps to prevent corrosion of piping and fixtures.
• Automatic Backwash Feature Reduces Maintenance, Maintains Filter Efficiency, and Prolongs the Life of the Filtration Media
• Fully automated with electromechanical control valve
• High quality FRP/Composite Resin Tank, rated at 150 psi maximum operating pressure and 120°F maximum operating temperature.
• Backwash: Time Clock Delayed
