A simple, single-tank option for neutralizing the pH of your water, helping to eliminate the problems associated with acidic water.
No timers or computers to set, adjust, repair or replace. Combined backwash and service cycles reduce maintenance and pressure drop.
Large tanks provide greater capacity, with easy-access top port for simpler media replenishment.
Water can become acidic when it has a low pH level—typically below 7 on the pH scale. One of the most common causes of acidic water is naturally occurring carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the environment. As rainwater falls, it absorbs CO₂ from the air, forming a weak carbonic acid. When this slightly acidic rainwater moves through soil and rock layers, it can dissolve minerals that influence the water's overall chemistry. In areas where the bedrock lacks buffering minerals like calcium or magnesium, the water remains acidic by the time it reaches a private well or water supply. This is especially common in regions with granite or sandstone-based geology.
Human activity can also contribute to water acidity. Industrial pollution, mining runoff, and the use of certain fertilizers can introduce acids into groundwater or surface water sources. Additionally, older plumbing systems made from copper or lead are more susceptible to corrosion when exposed to low pH water, further impacting water quality. Homes that rely on well water are particularly at risk since well water is not treated like municipal water and can reflect the chemical makeup of the surrounding environment. If you suspect your water has a low pH or you’re noticing signs like blue-green stains or a metallic taste, testing your water is a smart first step.
