Upflow Calcite Neutralizer

A commonly asked question is, “In what situations is an up-flow calcite neutralizer better than a down-flow back-wash type neutralizer?”   The upflow calcite neutralizer uses a patented fiberglass-reinforced tank and a calcite media bed. Acidic water slowly dissolves the calcium carbonate in the calcite media, which helps raise the water’s pH level and prevents … Continue reading Upflow Calcite Neutralizer

What is a Calcite Neutralizer?

A neutralizing filter, specifically a calcite neutralizer, is a water treatment system designed to neutralize acidic water by raising its pH level. It utilizes calcite, a naturally occurring mineral composed of calcium carbonate, to correct the pH of acidic waters. When acidic water flows through the calcite media, the calcium carbonate neutralizes the water, effectively … Continue reading What is a Calcite Neutralizer?
