ACID
NEUTRALIZER
AND SEDIMENT
REMOVAL
CALCITE
A crushed and screened white marble material which can inexpensively be used to
neutralize acidic or low pH waters to a neutral noncorrosive effluent. 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. The calcite bed will have to be periodically added to
as the dissolved calcite depletes. As the calcite’s clacium carbonate neutralizes the
water, it will increase hardness and a water softener may become necessary after
the neutralizing filter.

FILTER AG
A non-hydrous highly efficient filter media for the removal of suspended matter.
Filter AG granules have irregular surface characteristics affording maximum
removal of suspended matter throughout the filter bed. A substantial savings can
be realized, when designing a system using filter AG, because equipment can be
smaller, requiring less square foot area. Filter AG is a lightweight substance which
means additional savings in backwashing rates and volumes of water.

TASTE AND ODOR
REMOVAL
ACTIVATED
CARBON
May be used for a variety of water treatment applications requiring the removal
of taste, odor, and color. One of the most common applications for Activated
Carbon is the removal of the undesirable taste present in many chlorinated water
supplies. The end product is clean, fresh water with no objectionable taste or
odor characteristics. Activated Carbon has an extremely high capacity but must be
replaced when the filter bed loses the capacity for removal of taste and odor.

IRON REMOVAL BIRM
Birm is an efficient and economical media for the reduction of dissolved iron and
manganese compounds from raw water supplies. The physical characteristics of
Birm provide an excellent filter media which is easily cleaned by backwashing to
remove the precipitant. Birm is not consumed in the iron removal operation and
therefore offers a tremendous economic advantage over many other iron removal
methods. Other advantages of Birm include; long material life with relatively low
attrition loss, a wide temperature performance range and extremely high removal
efficiency. Negligible labor costs are involved because Birm does not require
chemicals for regeneration . . . only periodic backwashing is required
