This System Treats
A mixed bled of various natural minerals including magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, and three different acid-reducing media balls to neutralize acidic or low pH water. This mix contributes to mineralization, enhanced pH, alkalinized and ionized water.
Industry Applications
Whether the water you're using is an ingredient, a part of the manufacturing process, or utilized for sanitation and cleaning purposes - the water you use impacts the taste, color, odor, and consistency of the quality you provide.
High quality water means better service in industries like Salons, Spas, or even Pet Grooming that's better for your skin and hair – or fur. Raise your marketing value, while lowering materials cost reduction.
Clean water adds marketing value to your development, not to mention higher sanitation and cleanliness. Filtered water will also prolong the life of your piping systems throughout your establishment.
Keep up to EPA standards through filtered water that will help to prevent erosion, sinkhole formation, harm to the ecosystem, and much more.
Prevent unwanted contamination to materials and the environment and implement water conservation/sustainability through clean water usage.
Water filtration leads to consistency in production and cost reduction in water usage (cheaper to heat clean water and equipment will last longer).
Prevent infections (major liability reduction) and create sustainability and consistency of vendor.

Water with a low pH can be acidic, soft and corrosive. Telltale signs of acidic water include greenish-blue stains (copper pipes) and rust staining (from iron pipes), pinhole leaks in plumbing and metallic or sour taste. It can cause many other corrosion problems as well, such as drastically shortening the life of all water-using equipment, including dishwashers, washing machines, hot water heaters and/or fixtures.
To neutralize and raise the pH in acidic water, treat with a Crystal Quest® Acid Neutralizer. Neutralizing media slowly dissolved into the water increases the pH to a neutral level. Media may increase hardness in the water and a water softener may become necessary after the water is neutralized.
What causes it?
pH is a relative measure of the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in a fluid. In water, this can be caused by many natural occurring phenomena such as the absence of calcium carbonate (CaCo3) or 'limestone' in the soil as well as many man-made reasons. On the scale of 0-14, the pH level of 7 is neutral. Levels below 7 are 'acidic' and levels above 7 are considered 'alkaline' or 'basic'. Both extremes are found to be aggressive on many materials, but acidity is more commonly focused on due to its costly affects.
Signs and Symptoms
In addition to blue/green or rust staining in bathtubs sinks or toilets. or on the body as irritated eyes and skin or brittle damaged hair. Although Alkaline (high pH) water may give a 'bitter' taste to some, acidity is odorless & tasteless.
Primary concerns
Acidity in water means that the pH is found to be very low - which allows the water to act a caustic chemical against many plumbing materials & the body. Copper pipes are the most frequently affected and the most costly items to be affected by acidic water. If you see blue/green stains on a tub or toilet, there is a good possibility that you are looking at actual small fragments from the pipes and plumbing which run through the walls and foundation of your home. With copper leaching, health problems such as gastrointestinal distress, liver damage, and kidney damage can take place with short & longterm exposures. In addition, the cost of re-plumbing within these structures can be financially devastating. However, they can also be avoided if the problem is addressed in time.
