Calcite + Corosex Media (80/20 Mix) – Acid Neutralizing Blend for pH Correction
LiquaGen’s Calcite + Corosex Media is a naturally occurring mineral blend engineered to correct acidic water and protect your plumbing system. Composed of approximately 95% calcium carbonate and 3% magnesium carbonate, this high-purity media is specifically designed to raise the pH of acidic well water, making it safer for your home and family.
As acidic water flows through the bed, the calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate slowly dissolve, neutralizing acidity and reducing the potential for leaching of copper, lead, and other metals commonly found in household plumbing.
