Calcite Media (Calcium Carbonate Mineral) pH Correction, Acid Neutralizing Media

1/2 Cubic Foot Acid Neutralization Media. 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, 95% minimum – MgCO3, 3.0% 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 · 1/2 cubic foot of Calcite pH filter media made from naturally occuring calcium carbonate · Slow reaction rate allows for controlled pH correction · Requires 8 GPM per sq. foot of tank area for backwashing and 6 GPM service flow rate · Enough media to fill 8″ x 44″ tank system…see product description for additional tank sizes · Media typically needs replenished annually depending on pH level, water usage, and water chemistry

Calcite Corosex Media (Calcium Carbonate Mineral) pH Correction, Acid Neutralize

5 lbs Acid Neutralization Media. Calcite/Corosex Mix: Naturally-occurring mineral rock consisting of approximately 95% calcium carbonate and 3% 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.
