Upflow/Non-Backwashing Acid Neutralizers

The upflow calcite acid neutralizer is the most effective economical and safest way to raise the ph in your household water supply.

There are two types of acid neutralizers available: the upflow (or non-backwashing) acid neutralizer, and the automatic electronically controlled backwashing neutralizer. Want to learn the difference? Read our Complete Guide To Acid Neutralizers.

Our company, Mid Atlantic Water, sells more of the upflow (or non-backwashing) acid neutralizers because they are easy to install. They don't need a backwash drain, they don't need electricity and they do not waste any water.

In order to use the upflow system, your water supply needs to be iron free. When installed as an upflow, the non-backwashing system eliminates channeling and solidification of the media bed - which is much more effective than a backwashing type system.

We typically recommend the non-backwashing neutralizer to all of our clients nationwide; unless they have iron in their water supply. If iron is present in the water supply, it's necessary to install a backwashing type neutralizer.

Regardless of what your local water treatment company or any online company may tell you, the non-backwashing neutralizing system is the most effective and safest ways to naturally raise the ph of your household water supply.

This type of system is much less expensive than a backwashing type system, and the ongoing cost is minimal. If you have any questions or need assistance in choosing the correct system for your home please contact Mid Atlantic Water at 800-460-5810.
