Neutralizing filters

Neutralizing filters are utilized to treat acidic water. These filters use limestone chips or other neutralizing agent for the process. In this case, the filter treats all of the home water supply by passing it through limestone chips or other neutralizing agent. Treatment and purification of acidic water is very important because at places where it does occur, it can carry with it lead, copper or other toxic metals from household pipes into the water supply. All these constituents are harmful and should be eliminated.

While this type of filter requires little maintenance except the need to occasionally replace the limestone chips. The filter poses two potential problems which are: it may increase water hardness and acidic water may intensify any iron problems already present in the water supply. However, the basic problem of acidic water which is more pressing gets addressed and these minor issues can be taken care of by usage of subsequent trains.
