Aries 20″ x 2.5″ Calcor/GAC pH Neutralizer Filter Features:
- Proprietary blend of Corosex and Calcite Medias
- Controls pH corrosion and allows mineralization
- Pre-treatment of residential and commercial water
Aries FilterWorks Calcor Neutralization Cartridges are designed with a proprietary blend of Corosex and Calcite. The basic benefit of using Corosex is that it dissolves much faster than Calcite. If the initial pH is less than 6.0, Calcite alone does not dissolve fast enough to correct the pH to neutral. Blending the products allows the pH to be corrected over a more effective range. Aries Calcor Cartridge’s blend helps create a balanced product that will deliver a natural effluent without the negative impact of overcorrection.
Applications:
Commercial Use—Water can be corrosive, which is a problem that needs to be considered during water treatment. Aries Calcor cartridges can be used to polish RO effluents and mineralize the product stream back to a balanced and healthy pH.
Residential Use— If your water has a pH of < 7.0, it is considered acidic and should be treated. With respect to the corrosion potential of drinking water, the primary concerns include the potential presence of toxic metals as well as deterioration and damage to the household plumbing. The pretreatment system typically used in applications for homeowners or small private water supplies should include a neutralizing filter.
About Calcor Neutralization
pH is an indicator of the acidic or alkaline condition of water. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14; 7 indicates the theoretical neutral point. Neutralization cartridges act on acidic waters by slowly dissolving the calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide media as the water flows through the filter, raising the pH of the water and increasing the alkalinity. This eliminates corrosive water’s effects and can help prevent piping and fixtures’ corrosion.
The combination of Corosex and Calcite lessens the aggressive tendencies of acidic pH streams and their ability to leach metals from plumbing systems and acidifiers. Initial effluent may have a somewhat higher dissolution of product as it sits in intimate contact over time. The multi-factorial dissolution rate results from water temperature, flow rate, and specific water chemistry. This product is sacrificial so that capacities will be specific to each application and the abovementioned variables.
