Calcite pH Correction Media
pHSolve is a high-purity, naturally occurring calcium carbonate (calcite) media designed to neutralize acidic water and stabilize pH in domestic, commercial, and industrial water treatment systems. As water passes through the pHSolve bed, the calcite gradually dissolves, raising pH and reducing corrosivity without the need for chemical additives. It is ideal for treating low-pH groundwater,…
Key Features
-
Effective pH Neutralization – Raises acidic water to a stable range of 6.8–8.0.
-
Self-Limiting Reaction – Prevents over-correction; only dissolves as needed.
-
High Calcium Carbonate Purity – Ensures consistent and predictable performance.
-
Safe & Natural – NSF/ANSI 61 compliant and suitable for potable water.
-
Low Maintenance – Long-lasting with easy replenishment during service.
Applications
-
Whole-house and point-of-entry filtration systems
-
Borehole and well-water pH correction
-
RO permeate re-mineralization and neutralization
-
Acidic water stabilization in industrial and commercial systems
-
Corrosion control for copper, brass, and galvanized piping
