Description
This Crystal Quest media is a white blend of magnesium oxide and calcite (calcium carbonate) that adds alkalinity and raises pH. The magnesium oxide buffers to a maximum of pH 9 in most water streams, which helps avoid the overshoot possible with lime or caustic soda.
Highlights
- Magnesium oxide and calcite blend raises pH and adds alkalinity
- Buffers to a maximum pH of 9 in most streams, reducing the chance of pH excursions
- Non-hazardous media with minimal handling and storage precautions
- Loose media for refilling acid neutralizing tanks
- Four sizes, from 0.5 to 2 cubic feet
Details
Avermont Direct is an authorized Crystal Quest dealer. This mix is used to fill or refill acid neutralizing tanks where water or waste streams need added alkalinity and a higher pH. It is sold by volume, so choose the size that matches your tank's media capacity.
