Dear Clean Water Store - We are starting to have occlusions in a few of the pipes! I am noticing green corosion on the outside of copper pipes. Horrible black stains in the toilet, sinks, and I do have an ultraviolet system that is regularly changed. Here is a sample of our water.
My Response:
Hello Kathryn & Lou - Here are the results of your water analysis from the sample you sent in:
Results:
Source: Kitchen
pH: 6.51
Iron: 0 PPM
Manganese: 0 PPM
Hardness: 120 PPM
Hardness: 7 Grains per Gallon
Total Dissolved Solids ('TDS"): 240 PPM
Tannin: 0 PPM
Water Recommendations:
The water analysis showed the water is acidic (low on the pH scale). Acidic water can corrode piping, fixtures and appliances.
A calcite neutralizer filter, will neutralize the pH and help eliminate the corrosive effects of the water.
Many customers with this type of water previously had blue-green stains from copper pipe corrosion and after installing the neutralizer see their blue stains disappear within a few weeks. Since calcite neutralizers will raise the hardness of the water, an optional water softener may be used after the neutralizer.
Prices include Free Shipping in the U.S.:
Calcite Neutralizers -
The neutralizer filter comes with everything you need including the calcite media and simple instructions. Any plumber or person familiar with basic plumbing can install them.
These neutralizers require little maintenance. Once a year, just add more calcite to the neutralizer tank. Most customers use 25 to 50 lbs a year. We sell 50 lbs for $79.
