How the media works
The secret behind this system’s success lies in its media: a precise blend of calcite and Corosex. Calcite, a natural form of calcium carbonate, gently raises the water’s pH, neutralizing acidity that would otherwise corrode pipes. Corosex complements this by adding magnesium oxide, which further balances the water’s chemistry. Together, these media blend neutralizes the aggressive water, creating a protective barrier that stops corrosion in its tracks. Because the tank operates in an upflow design, water flows upward through the media bed, maximizing contact time and treatment effectiveness. This scientifically balanced approach ensures your water chemistry shifts from damaging to safe before it even leaves the system.
