Description

Calcite pH Correction Filter Media is a natural calcium carbonate media designed to raise and stabilize pH in acidic water. As the calcite dissolves, it helps reduce acidity and can assist in reducing corrosion associated with low-pH water.

The media consists of 98% CaCO₃ and is supplied as consistent white to off-white granules. Its controlled particle-size distribution supports predictable operation in properly designed pH correction filters.

Key Advantages

  • Raises and stabilizes pH in acidic water
  • Helps reduce acidity and associated corrosion
  • Natural calcium carbonate, non-toxic mineral media
  • Cost-efficient with relatively low maintenance requirements
  • High reactivity supports rapid pH adjustment
  • Consistent particle-size distribution for predictable performance
