Low pH Water is Corrected with an Acid Neutralizer
The acid neutralizers I sell use either a calcite media or a combination of calcite and magnesium oxide for very low pH water. These are whole house systems. As the water flows through the system it slowly dissolves the media which raises the pH. Check out the causes of high pH. These are often used in cases where acid water is dissolving copper piping or the insides of various fixtures. The problem is easily resolved.
Note the fill line on the photo above. This line is marked by the plumber at installation. Then as the media level drops you add enough to bring it back to this level. The system will work until all media is gone. And sometimes customers neglect to pay attention to maintenance.
You’ll notice that there are two versions of the acid neutralizer. One is a backwashing system. The advantage of this is that it can achieve higher flow rates for homes with large families and multiple bathrooms. The downside, which isn’t substantial, is that it requires a backwash to fluff the media. This is because it is a downflow system and the media needs to be kept from getting too compacting.
With the upflow system the water flows up through the media. No backwash is required. However flow rates are restricted in order to prevent media from entering the household plumbing.
