Our water's pH is 5.5 so I need an acid neutralizer. Our experience with our dying current conditioner is that we need the calcite - corrosex mix to neutralize the acidity. A flow test by the Culligan rep showed a flow rate of 8.4 gal / min. Two adults live here and there are 2.5 baths. The pipe coming off of the well tank is 3/4", but the rest of the distribution system in the house is 1/2". I've read enough in the forum that I decided to get a downflow (one that has a back flushing valve) system.
How much calcite / tank size? I'm guessing 1.5 cu ft.
I'm inclined to go with the newer Fleck 7000 series valve based on dittohead's description of this valve (for softeners) in another post. My question is, which 7000 valve? If I've misinterpreted some of the other threads and the 7000 series valve really isn't a good choice for a neutralizer, explain why, and what's a better choice?
Anything else I need to specify, or look out for?
What is the maximum number of days between backflushes on an acid neutralizer?
Who on the web has good prices and service for this?
