This "one tank" system will raise the pH value of your water to decrease its acidity, which can cause corrosion to metal components of a water system. One common symptom of acidic water is the presence of "Green" or "Blue-Green" staining when copper pipes are being "eaten up"! The neutralizer tank contains a bed of material - usually Calcite - a trade name for a finely ground grade of marble, which raises the water's pH value. As water passes through this bed of material, the acid is neutralized and a small amount of the bed material is dissolved. As a result, the water becomes more alkaline (the pH value goes up) and it becomes less acidic and less corrosive. This Acid Neutralizer System has NO filter, NO pumps, and uses NO harmful chemicals. It automatically backwashes to loosen the material and clean the bed. From time to time - usually once a year - additional bed material/Calcite must be added. Acidity & Hardness  The ph level in your drinking water reflects how acidic it is. The ph Stands for "potential
hydrogen" which refers to the amount of hydrogen that is mixed with the water. The level of pH is measured
on a scale from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Measurements below 7 are considered acidic and levels above
7 indicate alkalinity. Water with a low pH can be acidic, soft and corrowsive. Acidic water causes metals
such as copper, lead, iron, zinc and manganese to leach from pipes and fixtures. Stained laundry, blue-green stains
in sinks and drains and metallic or sour tasting water are indications of low pH levels.

Do you see "Green" or "Blue-Green"
stains? Is your water "acidic" and corrosive? 
The calcite and the corosex both act as a acid water neutralizer by dissolving and they add hardness to the water as the neutralization
takes place; therefore, they both need to be replenished on a periodic basis
