Aries AF-10-3232 Calcite/Corosex PH Balancing Cartridge 2.5" x 10"

The Aries AF-10-1091 Bone Char Fluoride Reduction Cartridge is designed to help create a balanced product that will deliver a natural effluent without the negative impact of over correction. The basic benefit of using Corosex is that it dissolves much faster than Calcite. if the initial pH is less than 6.0, Calcite alone does not dissolve fast enough to correct pH to neutral. Blending the products, allows the pH to be corrected over a more effective range. 

Key Features:

• Proprietary blend of Corosex and Calcite medias

• Controls pH corrosion, and allows mineralization

• Pre-treatment of residential and commercial water

More Information about Fluoride in Drinking Water: Fluoride was introduced to the U.S. drinking water in 1945. By the end of 2012, 67% of the U.S. population was receiving community water at or above recommended levels. The debate over fluoride is vexing. On one hand, it is known to prevent tooth decay. On the other hand, too much of it may be poisonous. Fluoride can be found in toothpaste, food, medicine, and rinses.

More Information about Calcor Neutralization: pH is an indicator of the acid or alkaline condition of the water. The pH scale ranges from 0-14; 7 indicates the theoretical neutral point. Neutralization cartridges act on acidic waters by slowly dissolving the calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide media as the water flows through the filter, raising the pH of the water and increasing the alkalinity. This eliminates the effects of corrosive water and can help to prevent corrosion of piping and fixtures. The combination of Corosex® and Calcite® lessen the aggressive tendencies of acidic pH streams and their ability to leach metals from plumbing systems acidifier. Initial effluent may have a somewhat higher dissolution of product as it sits in intimate contact over time. The dissolution rate is multi-factorial and the result of water temperature, flow rate, and specific water chemistry. This product is sacrificial so capacities will be specific to each application and variables mentioned above.
