Head valve + tank + media, matched to solve blue-green copper stains — sized and shipped free.
Notice your sinks, bathtubs, or fixtures tarnished with a persistent blue-green discoloration? These copper stains aren’t just eyesores; they signal acidic water aggressively leaching copper from your pipes. The consequences? Premature pipe wear, unsightly stains that resist cleaning, and worry over water quality that touches your family’s health and comfort every day.
The system that fixes it
The Autotrol Blue-Green Copper Stains System is engineered exclusively to combat the relentless corrosion caused by acidic water channels in your home’s plumbing. At its core lies the Autotrol 263 backwashing control valve, a precision-engineered head valve that automates thorough backwashing—flushing away accumulated contaminants to maintain peak performance and media longevity. Choosing a genuine, serviceable valve from Autotrol means dependable operation, easy maintenance, and parts availability for years, ensuring your system runs smoothly without surprise breakdowns. This advanced valve governs the flow with accuracy, preventing system clogs and delivering consistent water treatment every time you turn on the tap.
Backing the valve is an upflow calcite tank, carefully designed to maximize contact time between your water and the calcite neutralizing media inside. This media works to elevate the pH of your water, halting the acidity that strips copper from your pipes in its tracks. Unlike other systems that might temporarily mask stains, this setup addresses the root cause, safeguarding both your plumbing and your home’s appearance.

How the media works
At the heart of this system is calcite neutralizing media — a natural mineral that dissolves slightly when acidic water passes through it. This process raises the pH level of your water, neutralizing its acidity. Because acidic water is the culprit that eats away copper pipes and causes those vivid blue-green stains, neutralizing the water’s acidity stops the problem at its source. Instead of just masking stains after they appear, the media prevents copper from leaching into your water supply, protecting your home’s plumbing and your water’s taste and purity.
