How does a calcite neutralizer work?

The most common is the calcite acid neutralizer tank. A calcite system injects reactive magnesium oxide into the water supply which dissolves into the water and neutralizes the acid. The calcite in the tank must be replaced routinely, although this is a simple task.

How often do you add calcite to neutralizer?

Once or twice a year, depending on pH levels, add more calcite media to the neutralizer filter as follows: 1. Begin by putting neutralizer filter on bypass, or turning the water pressure off before the Neutralizer.

How do you put calcite on a neutralizer?

Add in calcite media through the funnel filling the neutralizer within 10 inches of the fill port. Never overfill this space! Check to ensure that no calcite is stuck in the threads of the fill port, and screw on the cap loosely. Turn your water supply valve a quarter of the way and allow the unit to start filling.

When should I replace my acid neutralizer?

Replacing the media inside neutralizers protects buildings and wastewater systems from corrosion. It also ensures compliance with plumbing codes, which prohibit the release of untreated acidic condensate into the wastewater system. At a minimum, service technicians should replace neutralizer media annually.

Do I really need an acid neutralizer?

Low pH creates more problems than just poor flavor—acidic water increases the risk of lead contamination. If you suspect your water pH is too low, an acid neutralizer could be the perfect solution.

Do I need an acid neutralizer?

A. No. Any time your pH is lower than 7 which is neutral, then you need to correct the pH. Adding a water softener to your system without first adding an Acid Neutralizer to correct your low pH problem could cause your water to be even more soft and aggressive than it is already.

Do you need a water softener with a neutralizer?

In fact a water softener does make the water acidic and the pH will still be in the neutral range. However, we do recommend that if you use a softener, it be left on bypass for several weeks after the neutralizer has been installed, to speed up the elimination of the blue staining and stop the copper corrosion.
