5600 Calcite Filter

This filter is designed to increase the pH of acidic water. It also removes iron from water that has been pretreated with air or chlorine. Special plugged dome hole allows addition of calcite without removing the main control valve.

Calcite works by dissolving in acidic water, so periodic replacement is necessary. The installer sets the 5600 valve to automatically backwash the calcite bed at pre-selected intervals.

We can, of course, supply the filter in some other sizes, although the 10" X 54" unit pictured is a perfect size for most applications. Please call for information about alternate sizes.

The filter can also accommodate Corosex/Calcite mixed media if desired.
