The C150 is a whole-house acid neutralizer (often called a pH neutralizer or calcite filter) designed to correct acidic water problems, especially common in well water or certain municipal supplies. Acidic water (pH below 7, typically 6.0 or lower) is corrosive and can quietly damage your home while posing health concerns.
Why Acidic Water Is a Problem
Corrosion & Leaching: Acidic water eats away at metal pipes (especially copper), fittings, and appliances → causing blue-green stains on sinks, tubs, faucets, and laundry.
Contaminants in Drinking Water: As it corrodes pipes, it leaches metals like copper, lead (from older solder), and iron into your water → potentially affecting taste, safety, and long-term health.
Pinhole Leaks: Over time, corrosion creates tiny holes in pipes → leading to expensive water damage and repairs.
Shorter Appliance Life: Water heaters, dishwashers, and faucets fail prematurely.
How the C150 Fixes It
The system uses a tank filled with natural calcite (crushed limestone, calcium carbonate) and sometimes a blend with magnesium oxide for stronger correction.
As acidic water flows up through the calcite bed (upflow design), the acid slowly dissolves a tiny amount of calcite → raising the pH to a safe, neutral range (around 7.0–7.5).
This neutralizes the acidity without over-correcting (it won't make water too alkaline).
Result: Non-corrosive water that protects your plumbing and reduces metal leaching.
Key Features & Benefits
Whole-House Protection — Treats water at the point of entry for every faucet, shower, and appliance.
Automatic & Low Maintenance — Electronic valve periodically backwashes the tank to fluff the media and remove any sediment. No salt needed (unlike softeners).
Hands-Free Operation — Calcite slowly dissolves and needs refilling every 6–18 months (depending on water acidity and usage).
Improves Taste Slightly — Reduces metallic flavors from leached copper/iron.
Size — The “150” likely indicates 1.5 cubic feet of media, good for medium to larger homes or moderately acidic water.
Features and Benefits:
Metered controls ensure the reduction of wastewater.
Digital control valve with LED display offers operational flexibility.
Ceramic core technology for smooth, trouble-free valve operation.
Raises the pH and alkalinity of the water making it more. “Plumbing friendly”
Fully automatic, care-free operation.
User friendly controller programming.
Robust construction ensures that the C150 Neutralizer need only be inspected once a year.
