Understanding the Effects of Acidic Water
Acidic water means your water has a pH balance of less than 7.0 and will actually eat away at your plumbing, as well as causing copper pipe = blue and green staining and galvanized pipe causing red staining from iron leaching out of pipes. Left untreated, this corrosive water can lead to pinhole leaks and costly household repairs.
How the Acid Neutralizing Calcite Water Filter Protects Your Home
Calcite is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate media used in our Acid Neutralizing Calcite Water Filter to provide reliable pH balancing. 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 the potential leaching of copper, lead and other metals found in typical plumbing systems. This essential plumbing protection ensures your pipes last longer.
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.
