Since your pH is so low at 4.75, we would suggest that you use a soda ash system to fix the problem. Soda ash is made of sodium carbonate, which reacts with the dissolved acidity in your water to bring up the pH and neutralize its corrosive qualities. This is a good alternative to calcite (crushed limestone) neutralizer which raises hardness considerably, and soda ash works very well for even extremely low pH levels.
Eliminate Acid Water With an Automatic Soda Ash Feeder
These complete soda ash pump and tank systems are the best way to achieve accurate pH levels and eliminate acid well and spring waters with the least amount of maintenance.
J-Pro-22 Versatile soda ash Works for a Wide Range of Conditions and Wells:
- Just mix soda ash powder with warm soft or pure water and add to solution tank, easy to do and lasts for several months.
- Dual Voltage 110/220v 50/60hz
- Works over a wide range of water flow rates for most home water wells
- Good for well water flow rates from 1 to 30 Gallons Per Minute (1 - 30 GPM)(Contact us for systems for higher flow rates over 30 GPM)
- Pumps 0.1 to 22 gallons of solution per day
- Works for line pressures up to 110 PSI
- Dual Voltage: works on both 110v and 220v power
- Low power consumption: uses only 22 watts or 0.2 amps of power
- Dimensions: 5 Gallon:11" L x 10-1/4" W x 14-1/8" H; 15 gallon model: 14.5" wide x 24", height including pump is 35". 35 gallon model: 18" wide x 33", height including pump is 44".
- Stroke frequency is adjustable from 0 to 100 strokes per minute
- Digital speed adjustment makes adjusting the pump fast and easy for incredibly accurate injection
- Unlike Stenner-style peristaltic pumps: no pump tube failures, no rollers to go bad needs less service, and is good for continuous duty
- Uses readily available soda ash powder (sodium carbonate), safe and certified for drinking water use.
- These heavy-duty metering pump systems are designed to last for many years with minimal maintenance.
- Pump easily mounts on the top of the tank or a wall
- Primes super fast, and won't lose its prime.
- The complete system includes a soda ash pump, solution tank, injection check valve, tubing, fittings
- Plug into a Flow Switch (sold separately) or Wire to your standard pressure switch pump system.
