Acidic Neutralising Filters
Are you having Acidic Water problems ...
Green / Blue Staining from Copper Corrosion?
When Carbon Dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water it lowers the pH* of the water ( typically to between 5.5 and 6.8 ), thus making the water aggressive toward metal plumbing and fittings. The result of this is generally green staining on baths and basins as well as bitter tasting water.
This water is also very aggressive toward copper hot water cylinders. This is very common with rain water or bore based water supplies which generally have a low pH.
The solution is simple, by installing a pH Neutralising Filter, which will correct the pH of the water to a neutral pH (between 7.0 and 8.0)... the problem is solved. This is a clean safe way of fixing the problem without the addition of any chemicals.
The media is made of specially heat treated Dolomite limestone granules called Akdolit. This media has a high surface area that enables it to react quickly and efficiently. It is sacrificial and will need to be topped up periodically.
Maintenance is very simple. Backwash for 5 minutes once per week and replenish with fresh media as required, usually around every 3 to 6 months.
* pH is a measurement of acidity in both liquids & some solids. |
