Calcite Corosex Media Features

• 10 lbs Acid Neutralization Media.

• Calcite/Corosex Mix: Naturally-occurring mineral rock consisting of approximately 95% calcium carbonate and 3% magnesium carbonate.

• Used to raise pH of acidic water Acidic waters on contact with Calcite slowly dissolve the calcium carbonate media to raise the pH which reduces the potential leaching of copper, lead and other metals found in typical plumbing systems.

About Calcite Corosex Media
