Calcite Rain Water Treatment Housing
WARNING: Rain water tastes great but it generally has a low pH, so rain water is acidic and yes there is many cases around Australia where the rain water has eaten out the copper pipes throughout a home. Take a look inside your kettle to see if your rain water is eating away at your pipes and if it is 1 sign is inside your kettle will be Black.
Wether a domestic home, farm water or Industrial water this is a great system for pH correction when water conditions have a pH lower than 7. A simple strong housing which contains the media (calcite rock) is filled not higher than 300mm from top neck of the cylinder. The low pH water enters the chamber by a simple 40 mm manifold, flows through the calcite rock which automatically dissolves and corrects the pH to a level at or above 7pH.
This unit comes with all the required bags of calcite and a bag of gravel that is to be put in before the calcite. Once installed the vessel needs to be flushed to waste until the water is clear and then it is good to go.
As this is tank water, the water from the backwash can be re-directed back into the tank so there is no waste water loss. Then just circulate the water until you are happy and switch the port valve back to producing water for use.
A great advantage for you having this type of vessel:
This is internationally recognized as the most successful and safest method of correcting low pH and corrosive water conditions. The vessel is a spun wound fiberglass unit tested to 600 kpa.
Installation and Maintenance this unit comes with all the required bags of calcite and a bag of gravel that is to be put in before the calcite. Once installed the vessel needs to be flushed to waste until the water is clear and then it is good to go.
The ongoing maintenance of this vessel is very minimal and depends on how aggressive the water is and what pH the water is before entering the vessel. All that needs to be done is if you notice the pH starting to drop below 6.8 then you may need to just top up the vessel with some more calcite. When top up has been done we recommend back washing to release any fine particles from the new calcite. Then your away again.

A great advantage for you having this type of vessel:
- This is the only kind with a refill port on the top side of the vessel so there is no need to pull it all apart just to top up your media.
- The next big bonus is the backwash ability in the port valve. We are the only one’s who have this feature on our vessels which is a major advantage and takes away the need for an extra sediment filter.
- We also allow for maximum flow rate with 1” ports in and out so it does not restrict the flow rate.
