APEC Water Calcite Acidic Water Neutralizer 10" Filter Kit With 1/4" Quick Connect - PHPLUSKIT-14
APEC Water PHPLUSKIT-14 Calcite Acidic Water Neutralizer 10" Filter Kit With 1/4" Quick Connect
The PHPLUSKIT-14 cartridge is a super high capacity, naturally occurring PH increaser. It is for general drinking water pH increase purposes. It can also be used as an reverse osmosis polisher if desired (installed at the last stage). Since it is sacrificial, the calcite acid cartridge will add 2-5 ppm of hardness to the water. This is also an excellent way to reduce the corrosiveness low tds water.
This filter is constructed totally from FDA grade materials and media. This calcite filter will deliver a neutral effluent form acidic feed as low as pH5. Low pH's require slower flow rates.
One of the advantages of Calcite is its self-limiting property. When properly applied, it corrects pH only enough to reach a non-corrosive equilibrium. It does not overcorrect under normal conditions. Upon contact with Calcite, acidic water slowly dissolve the calcium carbonate to raise the pH.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
This filter uses high purity calcium carbonate to slowly dissolve into acidic water, which raises the pH level by neutralizing acidity and making the water less corrosive. It increases the pH by 2-5 ppm, delivering a neutral effluent even from acidic feed water with pH as low as 5.
-
Yes, it can serve as a reverse osmosis polisher when installed at the final stage, adding minerals back into the water to improve taste and reduce corrosiveness caused by low total dissolved solids.
-
The filter is constructed entirely from FDA grade materials, including 100% US-made, high purity calcium carbonate media and white polypropylene polypropylene fittings with food grade EPDM O-rings, ensuring suitability for water and food applications.
-
Installation is straightforward with 1/4 inch quick connection fittings and 10 feet of food grade tubing included. The friction-welded construction with no glues or binders ensures a reliable, leak-free seal.
-
Yes, as a sacrificial calcite acid cartridge, it adds a small amount of hardness to the water (2-5 ppm), which helps reduce water corrosiveness but should be considered in water hardness levels.
