Correcting pH
Levels of Acidic Water
|
If your water supply has a a low pH value, it is acidic.
We offer safe, simple and effective treatment for acidic water problems,
which may only be apparent when your copper pipes begin to seep water
and your hot water cylinder leaks. Our solution offers:
|
 Automatic
pH adjustment |
|
|
Low running costs |
|
Maintains pH value at a safe non corrosive
level |
|
Safe to handle |
|
Helps remove iron/manganese |
|
Increase alkalinity |

Juraperle granules are used in the form of a contact bed, though which
the water passes and they dissolve slowly in response to the acidity
(usually 'free CO 2' - excessive carbon dioxide) in the water. The
treated water deposits a highly protective and complex film which
protects tanks and pipes against corrosion and helping to cut out
contamination by lead, zinc and copper. Aqua-Juraperle is a
micro-crystalline structure and is superior to ordinary lime stone
mixes. Juraperle also provides maximum surface area per unit volume,
which improves the removal of turbid matter (sediment). We also
mix Corossex into the medium which helps to raise the pH, even when the
water is fast flowing ie pumped through it or the pH is below 6. |

Why
Juraperle and Corossex? |
|
The thought of adding something to your water may seem surprising. We
use this naturally occurring substance to correct acidity, which may
harm you through dissolved metals (Cadmium and lead) from copper
pipes, etc. not to mention the damage it can
do to your plumbing. |

|
How
do I know if my water is too acidic? |
|
The blue green stains on your bath and sink are caused by unnatural
levels of dissolved metals. The medium is treated to dissolve slowly in
contact with water; avoiding strong alkaline mixes that treating with
neat lime can produce. |
| |
| How
is it fitted in to my water system?
|
 We
use a pressure vessel which is very versatile, and will accept
specialised media which meet a range of water conditioning needs, in the
wide variety of water quality problems.
This
vessel looks like a large oxygen cylinder (on average about 36" by
9")
which is plumbed inline into the water inlet pipe that supplies your
house and must be protected from frost if installed outside.
Maintenance
The
Juraperle is literally automatic, and no metering or dosing equipment is
needed.
All that is required is that the bed be topped-up with fresh
material periodically (every 10-12 months) in order to replace the
medium which has been consumed.
When using the pH vessel you would need to have some form of back
wash system to clean the solids out of the medium, or use a
sediment
housing to keep the system clean.

| We can advise you on this system.
When we know the pH of your water (tested free if you give or send us a
sample), we can alter the concentration of the mixture with a dominance
of Juraperle or Corossex to alter the amount of hydrogen or hydroxide
ions. |
