Calcite Corosex Media (Calcium Carbonate Mineral) pH Correction, Acid Neutralizing Media (1/2 Cubic Feet )

Description

1/2 Cubic Feet (Aprox 45 Lb ) Acid Neutralization Media.

Calcite/Corosex Mix: Naturally-occurring mineral rock consisting of approximately 80% calcium carbonate and 20% magnesium carbonate. Used to raise pH of acidic water

Acidic waters on contact with Calcite slowly dissolve the calcium carbonate media to raise the pH which reduces the potential leaching of copper, lead and other metals found in typical plumbing systems.

Advantages: l High uniformity coefficient for maximum contact for controlled pH correction l Slower reacting l Inexpensive Physical Properties: l Color – Near White l Density – 100 lbs./cu. ft. l Composition – CaCO3, 80% minimum – MgCO3, 20% maximum Conditions for Operation: l pH – 5 – 6 l Bed Depth – 24 – 30 in. l Backwash Rate – 8-12 GPM/sq. ft. l Backwash Bed Expansion – 35% of bed depth l
