Calcite is a transparent to opaque carbonate mineral with more than 99% purity. Mainly used in water treatment and swimming pools, it contributes to control both internal corrosion and the deposition of scale. As a neutralizing agent, filler, antacid and Source of lime.

The Langelier Index(LSI) is an approximate indicator of the degree of saturation of water with calcium carbonate. As a mechanism to stabilise and optimise water supply systems, the Langelier Index is calculated using the pH, alkalinity, calcium concentration, total dissolved solids, and water temperature.

If the Langelier Index is negative, then the water is under saturated with calcium carbonate and the distribution system tends to be corrosive. If the Langelier Index is positive, then the water is over saturated with calcium carbonate, which generates the formation of scale in the distribution system. If Langelier Index is close to zero, then the water is just saturated with calcium carbonate and will neither be strongly corrosive or scale forming.

Uses and Applications

▼

All Chemical’s calcite is a transparent-to-opaque carbonate mineral with over 99% purity, widely used in water treatment and swimming pools. It serves as a natural neutraliser to correct acidic water, control internal corrosion, and prevent scale deposition. Globally, it is the standard media for treating low-pH residential well water, commercial filtration networks, and industrial manufacturing systems.

Benefits of Calcite Acid

▼

This natural mineral compound provides several key advantages for water network maintenance:

Self-Regulating pH Correction: Naturally dissolves until water reaches a non-corrosive equilibrium, preventing accidental overcorrection.
Infrastructure Protection: Controls internal pipeline corrosion and scale deposition to stop pinhole leaks and rust stains.
High 99% Purity Composition: Delivers reliable, chemical-free neutralisation without adding unwanted impurities.
Flexible Packaging Options: Stocked and available in convenient sizes from 1 kg up to 25 kg.

Safety and Handling

▼

Maintaining system balance and personal safety requires the following protocols:

Wear Standard PPE: Always utilise proper safety goggles, protective gloves, and clothing during bulk chemical handling.
Inhalation Protection: Use a dust respirator in confined or unventilated areas to prevent inhalation of fine mineral dust.
System Saturation Balancing: Regularly calculate the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) by monitoring pH, temperature, alkalinity, and calcium levels to ensure proper optimisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Naturally crushed calcite media is the global standard for safely neutralising residential well water with a slightly acidic pH range of 6.0 to 6.9.

Yes, calcite is calcium carbonate, which slowly dissolves in acidic streams, raising the pH to a balanced, non-corrosive level.

Calcite mineral media is most commonly used alongside technical alternatives such as magnesium oxide or soda ash blends, depending on the water flow rate.

Feed the media into an upflow or backwashing pressure filter tank. Acidic water dissolves the calcite on contact, stabilising the system’s Langelier Index.

All Chemical supplies premium-grade calcite mineral that delivers exceptional, maximum efficiency, with a verified purity of more than 99%.
