Calcite, a naturally occurring form of calcium carbonate, is an essential component for effectively neutralizing acidic water. In such cases, blending calcite with faster-acting materials like magnesium oxide (Corosex) may be necessary for optimal results.

Acidic waters on contact with Calcite slowly dissolve the calcium carbonate media to raise the pH which reduces the potential leaching of copper, lead and other metals found in typical plumbing systems. Periodic backwashing will prevent packing and maintain high service rates. Depending on pH and service flow, the Calcite bed will have to be periodically added to as the dissolved calcite depletes.As the Calcite’s calcium carbonate neutralizes the water, it will increase hardness and a softener may become necessary after the neutralizing filter.
