Juraperle is a granular medium primarily made up of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), specifically designed to adjust the pH levels in water with low pH. Here are some of its key features and benefits:
- Composition: Juraperle is composed of about 99% calcium carbonate, which is more effective than regular limestone due to its micro-crystalline structure.
- Function: It gradually dissolves into the water supply, naturally raising the pH level without the risk of over-correction. This makes it particularly useful for treating slightly acidic water.
- Additional Benefits: Besides pH correction, Juraperle can help remove iron and manganese through the oxidation process. However, regular backwashing is necessary to maintain its effectiveness.
- Application: Suitable for potable water treatment and the remineralization of soft and desalinated waters. When water interacts with Juraperle, free CO2 is converted to bicarbonate, and calcium is dissolved, increasing both the pH and hardness levels.
- Usage Considerations: Due to its calcium content, Juraperle may increase water hardness, which might require the use of a water softener if the water already has high hardness levels.
Juraperle is a reliable and efficient solution for maintaining balanced pH levels in water systems, ensuring the water is safe and pleasant to use.
Iron Removal with Juraperle:
- Oxidation Process: As water flows through Juraperle media, the calcium carbonate helps to increase the pH level. This higher pH environment facilitates the oxidation of dissolved iron (Fe²⁺) into its insoluble form (Fe³⁺), which can then be filtered out.
- Filtration: The insoluble iron particles are trapped within the media bed, preventing them from passing through the water system.
- Maintenance: Regular backwashing of the Juraperle media is necessary to remove the accumulated iron particles and maintain the system’s efficiency.
While Juraperle is effective in aiding iron removal, it is often used alongside other filtration systems such as filox-r or birm to ensure comprehensive water treatment.
