Aquamat Calcite Filter
AQCAL
Calcite is crushed and screened white marble media that can inexpensively be used to neutralize acidic or low pH waters to a neutral, less corrosive effluent.

Description
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.
Depending on pH, water chemistry, and service flow, the Calcite bed will have to be periodically replenished as the Calcite is depleted. Sufficient contact time is required for satisfactory results. Calcite is filled in a floor-standing reinforced fiberglass cylinder, equipped with an IN/OUT threaded valve.
- Calcite is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate media.
- Calcite is self-limiting, when properly applied, it corrects pH only enough to reach a non-corrosive equilibrium.
- Low uniformity coefficient for maximum contact for controlled pH Correction.
- Slower reacting for controlled pH Correction.
- Inexpensive
- Contains a minimum of 95% Calcium Carbonate & max 3% Magnesium Carbonate
- Media is to be topped up annually (Dependent on water chemistry, flowrate and pressure)
