Corrosive Water Ruining Your Pipes
The problem
Acidic water with a pH below 7 silently attacks your copper plumbing, causing corrosion that weakens pipes and leads to costly leaks. The unmistakable blue-green stains on your sinks and fixtures are a clear warning sign that your water is eating away at your home’s plumbing system.
This corrosion not only damages copper pipes but can also contaminate your water with metals and increase plumbing repairs over time. Left untreated, the acidic water accelerates pipe degradation, threatening both your home’s infrastructure and your family’s health.
Protecting your plumbing from acidic water is critical because corrosion reduces pipe lifespan and causes leaks that can damage walls, floors, and appliances. Neutralizing low-pH water preserves your copper pipes and keeps your water safe and clean, avoiding expensive repairs and health risks.
How it works — the calcite neutralizing media that fixes it
The Acidic / Low-pH Neutralizer System uses a specially blended calcite bed combined with Corosex (magnesium oxide) media housed in a durable fiberglass mineral tank. As your water flows upward through this media, it slowly dissolves, raising the water’s pH and re-mineralizing soft, corrosive water to neutralize its acidity.
This process stops the chemical reaction that eats away at copper pipes. The automatic backwashing control valve periodically cleans the media bed to prevent compaction and maintain consistent neutralization performance. Annual media top-ups keep your system working at peak efficiency.
The system is designed as a complete, factory-assembled solution sized specifically for your home’s water quality and usage. Installation is straightforward with included fittings and bypass valve, ensuring your plumbing is protected without hassle or hidden plumber-only parts.

Frequently asked questions
How does acidic water damage copper pipes?
Low-pH water is corrosive and reacts chemically with copper piping, causing deterioration and blue-green staining on fixtures. Over time, this weakens pipes and leads to leaks.
How often do I need to add media to the system?
You typically top up the calcite media about once a year to maintain effective pH neutralization and protect your plumbing.
Will this system fit my home size?
Yes, the system is custom sized based on your water test results and the number of bathrooms in your home to ensure optimal performance.
Is professional installation required?
The system ships pre-assembled with all necessary fittings and a bypass valve, making installation straightforward. However, you may choose to hire a plumber if desired.
What maintenance does the system require?
Apart from the annual media top-up, the automatic backwashing valve cleans the media bed regularly to keep it working efficiently without manual intervention.
Does this system affect water hardness?
The media blend re-mineralizes soft, corrosive water, slightly adjusting hardness while focusing on neutralizing acidity to protect your pipes.
