Neutralizing Media
swtwater.com Neutralizer
Neutralizer — is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate media. One of the advantages of Neutralizer is its self-limiting property. When properly applied, it corrects pH only enough to reach a non-corrosive equilibrium. It does not overcorrect under normal conditions. Upon contact with Neutralizer, acidic waters slowly dissolve the calcium carbonate to raise the pH which reduces the potential leaching of copper, lead and other metals found in typical plumbing systems. Periodic backwashing will prevent packing, reclassify the bed and maintain high service rates. Depending on pH, water chemistry and service flow, the Neutralizer bed will have to be periodically replenished as the Neutralizer is depleted. Certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60.
 
 
As the Neutralizer’s calcium carbonate neutralizes the water, it will increase hardness and a softener may become necessary after the neutralizing filter. Neutralizer can be effectively combined with Neutralizer Plus to combine the high flow neutralization properties of Neutralizer Plus, along with the slower reacting low flow properties of Neutralizer, increasing the ability to correct low pH.

BACKWASH — After each cycle the media bed should be backwashed at a rate that expands the bed 20 to 40 percent.
