What is Calcite Filter Media?
Low-pH water corrodes copper and steel, causing blue-green or rust stains and leaks. Calcite is a natural calcium carbonate that dissolves just enough to raise pH towards neutral.

Frequently asked questions
Does calcite add hardness?
Yes, a little: it raises pH by dissolving calcium carbonate, which slightly increases hardness.
