Key Benefits

• Neutralizes acidic water to prevent corrosion and extend system life
• Improves water pH balance for safer plumbing and appliances
• Supports efficient filtration by enhancing resin performance in softeners
• Easy to handle 50 lb bag size for convenient media replacement
• Reduces the risk of metal leaching from pipes caused by low pH
• Compatible with various water softener and filtration systems

How It Works

The CAL-50-BAG Calcite media functions by slowly dissolving in acidic water, releasing calcium carbonate that neutralizes excess acidity. This process raises the water’s pH to a more neutral level, helping to prevent corrosion in pipes and appliances. Within water softener units, the calcite media works alongside ion exchange resins to optimize water quality by balancing mineral content and protecting system components from acidic damage.

As water passes through the calcite bed, it interacts with the media’s surface, allowing for a gradual and controlled pH adjustment that supports long-term system health and improved water taste.

What to Expect

Immediately after installing the CAL-50-BAG Calcite media, you may notice a reduction in water acidity and improved water taste as the pH begins to stabilize. During the first few weeks, the media will actively neutralize acidic water, helping to protect your plumbing and water system components from corrosion.

Over time, this product maintains consistent pH correction with minimal maintenance, providing reliable performance for months before media replacement is necessary. Regular inspection ensures optimal operation, but the durable calcite granules are designed for long-lasting use in residential or commercial water treatment systems.
