Product Description
Calcite for raising pH in Water
Calcite is the most common form of naturally occurring calcium carbonate (white marble) which is crushed and screened. It is used to neutralise acidic water. Depending on pH and other parameters Calcite will be exhausted after some time and needs to be replenished.
Benefits of Using Calcite for pH Elevation:
- Natural Approach: Calcite is a naturally occurring mineral
- Slow and Steady Increase: Calcite dissolves gradually, ensuring a slow and steady increase in pH, preventing sudden fluctuations.
- Provides Calcium: In addition to raising pH, calcite also adds calcium to the water, which can benefit aquatic life and plants.
Considerations on Using Calcite:
- Water Hardness: Most effective in low to moderate hardwater.
- pH Testing: Regular checks are essential to ensure desired PH level is maintained
- Overdosing: Overdosing with calcite can lead to elevated pH levels, which can be harmful to aquatic life.
If you're considering using calcite to raise the pH of your water, it's recommended to consult with a water treatment professional to determine the appropriate dosage and monitor the results.
