    Calcite (PH Correction) - PH FIX

     

    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 the 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.

     
    Calcite can be effectively combined with Clack Corosex to combine the high flow neutralization properties of Corosex, along with the slower reacting low flow properties of Calcite, increasing the ability to correct low pH.

     

    Vessel Size vs. Flow rate Requirements

    Please see below for roughly the size of the vessel required for certain flow rates, as well as the number of backs of calcite needed*. 

    * Please note that this is just a guide, in situations with very low PH or other extenuating circumstances more calcite and/or a large vessel may be required.
