Description
Reverse osmosis water can taste flat and run slightly acidic. This Crystal Quest inline cartridge uses a blend of calcite and magnesium oxide that slowly dissolves into the water, adding calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate alkalinity and raising pH.
Highlights
- Calcite and magnesium oxide media neutralizes acidity and makes water less corrosive
- Adds calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate alkalinity to water after the RO membrane
- Self-limiting reaction works faster when water is more acidic and slows near balance
- Sealed inline cartridge with threaded elbow connectors at each end, replaced as one piece
- Non-electric: no electrodes and no power needed
Details
Avermont Direct is an authorized Crystal Quest dealer. The media is used up gradually, so replace the cartridge as your RO or cooler manual directs, or when the water starts to taste flat again. Actual life depends on feed water quality, system configuration and usage. A drop-in version is also made for standard filter housings.
