Page 4: How Your Neutralizer Works
5900S Neutralizer Operation & Maintenance Manual How Your neutralizer Works: See Fig 1 on the right. In your Neutralizer, the water enters the top of the tank (red arrows) and flows down through the media and up the distributor tube (blue arrows). The downflow type Neutralizer raises the pH of your water and can be backwashed, which cleans and re-classifies the Calcite, preventing channeling. - Page 5 5900S Neutralizer Operation & Maintenance Manual Fig. 1: Typical Neutralizer 5900S piping installation: Page 5 www.cleanwaterstore.com Rev 110117...

Page 15: Maintaining Your Neutralizer
5900S Neutralizer Operation & Maintenance Manual Maintaining Your Neutralizer 1. Check the pH before and after the neutralizer. You want to have a pH of at least 7.0 after the neutralizer filter. 2. If the pH drops below 7, check the depth of the Calcite media by shining a bright light through the tank. - Page 16 5900S Neutralizer Operation & Maintenance Manual For most residential well applications, a 90% Calcite and 10% Corosex is best. However, in some cases an 80%/20% mix or even a 70%/30% is used. It is always better to start with a 90%/10% mix at first as this solves most of low pH problems in the range of 4.5 to 5.9.
