Complete 1.0 Cubic Foot Acid Neutralizer System

  • 1.0 cubic foot Vortech media tank (10" x 44") — total height with valve 48", translucent almond color
  • Clack C1190 control valve — non-backwashing upflow design, no electricity or drain line needed
  • 2 x 50 lb bags of calcite media — naturally raises pH to neutral 7.0
  • Fill port — 1-1/4" top or side mounted, add calcite without removing the valve
  • Clack bypass valve — isolate the tank for service without shutting off water
  • 1" male threaded connections — easily reduced to 3/4"
  • Upper distributor basket — prevents calcite from escaping the tank
  • Service funnel — makes adding calcite clean and easy
  • Free shipping to all lower 48 states
Sized for single-person or single-bathroom applications — vacation homes, cabins, guest houses, or cottages. For a primary residence with 2+ people, Aidan recommends the 2.5 cu ft for better flow rates and longer calcite refill intervals. Call 800-460-5810 for sizing help.

Liftgate Delivery

Why isn't this 1-day shipping like Amazon?

The Compact 6 GPM Acid Neutralizer for Small Homes

1,200+ satisfied homeowners. NSF tested & certified. Money-back guarantee.

The 1.0 cubic foot acid neutralizer is our most compact non-backwashing system, designed for single-person or single-bathroom applications like vacation homes, cabins, and guest houses. It uses the same Clack C1190 valve and Vortech tank technology as our larger units, just in a smaller 10"x44" package. Service flow rate capacity is up to 6 GPM. For a primary residence, Aidan recommends the 2.5 cubic foot system - it delivers nearly 3x the flow rate (17 GPM), holds 3 more bags of calcite, and extends the refill interval from 3-6 months to 6-12 months. The price difference is $300, but you get a system that covers the whole house without restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, about 80% of our customers install this system themselves. If you are comfortable cutting pipe and using a wrench, you can do this. The system comes with a bypass valve and threaded connections that make it straightforward. We also provide a comprehensive video guide and have tech support available 7 days a week if you get stuck.

Because of our larger 2.5 cubic foot tank size, you only need to add media every 6 to 12 months for the average household (3-4 people). Smaller units from big box stores often require refilling every 3-6 months. We include a fill funnel with your order to make the refill process mess-free.

Not noticeably. The "Vortech" tank technology we use actually improves flow rates compared to traditional gravel-bed tanks. The system is rated for 17 GPM (Gallons Per Minute), which is sufficient for most homes with up to 3 bathrooms running simultaneously.

The unit ships via freight truck with liftgate service. The driver will lower the pallet to your driveway or curb. You are responsible for disposing of the wooden pallet and cardboard packaging. The tank itself is lightweight when empty (~25 lbs) and easy to move into your garage or basement before filling it with the included media.

No, it's a non-backwashing head. It doesn't need electricity or a backwash line.

Investing in The Right System

Many systems look identical online, but cheaper options often cut corners.

Found this neutralizer cheaper somewhere else?
  • Many Amazon and discount sellers use similar photos and product titles.
  • The system may look similar at first glance.
  • But to advertise a lower price, key components are often downgraded or removed.
  • Cheap systems commonly use thinner tanks, less filtration media, and provide little to no technical support.
  • When something goes wrong, you're usually on your own.
  • This is the best price we can offer without cutting quality or support.

The True Cost Over Time

Cheap Alternative
$800 Upfront
  • Lifespan: Fails in 3-4 years
  • Result: Frequent repairs, poor water quality, leaks
  • Support: None
~ $0.71 / Day
Best Long-Term Value
Our Premium System
$1,495 Upfront
  • Lifespan: Lasts 15+ years
  • Result: Done right the first time, peace of mind
  • Support: Lifetime USA Support
~ $0.27 / Day

Do it right the first time. By investing a little more upfront, you prevent early replacement costs, plumbing repair headaches, and the frustration of poor water quality. This is without a doubt the best long-term option for your home.

What You're Actually Paying For
  • No Media Skimming: We provide the exact optimal amount of the highest grade media. Competitors frequently underfill tanks by 20-30% to cut costs, severely reducing your system's effectiveness.
  • Premium Structural Tanks: Our systems utilize heavy-duty, pressure-tested USA vortech structural tanks built to last decades, preventing cracked tanks and flooded basements.
  • Genuine Warranties: Discount retailers are often selling tanks imported overseas, meaning less structural integrity and no warranty. Our tanks carry full manufacturer backing with a 10 year warranty. We've tried tanks from Mexico in the past to reduce cost for our customers and all it did was create problems.
  • Lifetime USA Tech Support: With over 30 years of industry experience, we actually pick up the phone. We provide tech support 7 days a week between 8AM - 5PM EST.

1-Year Risk-Free Guarantee

Proven in Thousands of Real Homes
The Policy:
If it doesn’t fix your acidic water, we’ll refund you. No returns required.
1,000+ DIY Installs
30 Yrs Testing Solutions
99.8% Success Rate

After 30 years of testing acidic water solutions, the data led us to this exact system. With a track record of 1,000+ successful homeowner installations (DIY or Licensed Plumbers), we have the evidence to offer a true risk-free guarantee based on results, rather than an empty marketing gimmick.

The Industry "Return Policy" Trap +

Most water filter companies offer standard "Money Back Guarantees" or return policies fully knowing that you aren't going to drain, package, and pay heavy freight costs to ship a 600lb wet tank back to them. It's an illusion of safety. Our guarantee requires zero return shipping.

How Our Real Guarantee Works

It Fails to Fix the Acidic Water

Solved my very high iron issues

"I had well water with over 20 ppm ferrous and 7 ppm of ferric iron, plus manganese and some sulfur. Local water companies rejected me, said they couldn't help. I purchased two Fleck 2.5 cu. ft. 2510AIO iron filter tanks with Katalox-Light. Problem solved."

Corrosive water resolved

"New house, brass fittings on my Pex were all corroding. Tested the water, acidic at 5.5. Found Mid Atlantic Water YouTube videos which were very helpful, ordered the non-back washing 2.5. Easy install, water tests great now."

Amazing set up

"Straight forward installation. In, out, and the drain. Ran a back wash cycle then put it online and it works GREAT. Cleaned out the iron and raised the pH to 7.5. Culligan tried to sell me something twice the price."

Dustin H. Verified buyer · Fleck 2510AIO Iron Filter
Customer install: full water treatment system

Outstanding help and products

"Three contractors and two other suppliers reviewed my well report. Quotes ranged from $5,000 to $10,000. Then I found Mid Atlantic. Aidan reviewed the report and recommended a complete system. Same equipment, fraction of the cost, and the support was real."

Does exactly what it's supposed to do

"Easy, bullet-proof installation. No moving parts. Raised my pH from 6.8 to a perfect 7.6. I had previously installed the same unit in my daughter's water system. Her pH was 5.2. Following Aidan's videos, both installs went smoothly."

"Super easy install. Shouldn't have to service it for approximately 24-36 months based on my water usage. Tank is solid, fittings are clean, no leaks. Exactly what was advertised."
