Tired of Blue-Green Stains?
The problem
If your well water is acidic with low pH, you’re likely battling blue-green stains on sinks, tubs, and toilets—classic signs of copper pipe corrosion caused by acid eating away at your plumbing. This not only ruins your fixtures’ appearance but also risks costly pipe damage and leaks over time.
Adding to the problem, the hardness minerals in your water cause scale buildup inside pipes and appliances, reducing their efficiency and lifespan. Together, the low pH and hardness create a damaging cocktail that stains surfaces, clogs plumbing, and accelerates wear on water-using appliances.
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to expensive repairs, poor water taste, and continuous frustration with scrubbing stains and spotting on dishes. Addressing acidic water combined with hardness is critical to protect your home’s plumbing and improve your family’s water experience.
How it works — the calcite neutralizer + softener that fixes it
The Acid Water & Hardness Well System is a complete three-stage solution designed specifically for well water suffering from low pH and hardness. The first stage is a calcite acid neutralizer tank that raises the water’s pH to a safe level, stopping blue-green staining and protecting copper pipes from corrosion.
Next, the Fleck 5600SXT metered water softener removes the hardness minerals introduced by the calcite treatment, preventing scale buildup that damages plumbing and appliances. Finally, an under-sink reverse osmosis system delivers bottled-quality drinking water right from your kitchen tap, ensuring pure, clean water for your family.
Each stage is a complete matched unit with its own control head and bypass valve, designed to work seamlessly together. Maintenance involves periodic regeneration of the softener with salt and occasional flushing of the acid neutralizer tank. The system includes expert sizing support and installation guides to keep your water balanced and your home protected.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my well water cause blue-green stains?
Acidic water with low pH dissolves copper from your pipes, which leads to blue-green stains on fixtures. Treating the acidity stops this corrosion.
How does the calcite neutralizer work?
The calcite tank raises the water’s pH by gently dissolving calcium carbonate, neutralizing the acid and preventing pipe damage.
Will this system remove hardness too?
Yes, after neutralizing acidity, the water softener removes hardness minerals that cause scale buildup and damage appliances.
Is the drinking water safe after treatment?
Absolutely. The under-sink reverse osmosis system purifies water to bottled-water quality, ensuring safe, great-tasting drinking water.
How often does the system need maintenance?
The softener regenerates automatically as needed using salt, and the neutralizer requires occasional flushing to maintain effectiveness.
Do I need to install a pressure tank with this system?
Most wells already have a pressure tank, so it is not included with this system. If you need one, it can be added separately.
