An acid neutralizer is designed to raise low pH levels in your water and help reduce ferric iron. The system is filled with mineral media that regularly backwashes to maintain effectiveness.
Most acid neutralizers can raise pH levels of approximately 5.8–6.5 up to a more balanced range of 7.0–7.5. The system consists of a non-corrosive fiberglass mineral tank, a bypass valve, a convenient dome hole for adding replacement mineral, and a high-flow distribution system.
Routine maintenance is important to keep the system operating efficiently. On average, acid neutralizers should be inspected and replenished every 6–18 months depending on water usage and system condition.
