Acidic Water Filtration Systems Prevent Copper Pipe Corrosion on Acid Well Water

In thousands of homes on well water, acidic water causes thinning of copper pipes, pinhole leaks, and numerous copper pipe leaks over time. Acidic water filtration systems can easily correct and neutralize a low pH in well water.

The pH scale is a scale from 1 to 14. A neutral pH is 7. A ph of less than 7 is considered acidic. A pH greater than 7 is considered alkaline and is less corrosive to copper pipes than waters with a pH of less than 7.

Signs of acid water are corrosion of fixtures, blue staining (from copper pipes) or rust staining (from iron pipes). Acidic water can also cause pinhole leaks and pipe failure over time. By raising the pH to the range of 7.0 to 7.5 the water can be made alkaline which will then reduce or eliminate pipe corrosion.

In neutralizer filters, the acidic water slowly dissolves the calcium and magnesium media on contact as the water flows through the filter, raising the pH of the water and increasing the alkalinity. This eliminates the effects of corrosive water chemistries and can help to prevent corrosion of piping and fixtures.

The size of the system is directly proportional to the flow rate of the water, in gallons or liters per minute. The higher the flow rate, and the more gallons per minute flows through the pipes, the larger the system required. Generally for most homes with 1 bathroom, a 1 cubic foot size system containing 100 lbs of calcite will work well. For homes with 1 to 2 bathrooms, a 1.5 cubic foot filter is recommended. For higher flow demands and in homes with 3 to 4 bathrooms and larger families, a 2.5 cubic foot neutralizer containing 250 lbs of calcite is recommended.

This type of neutralizer also acts as a filter removing sediment and small amounts of rust from the water, and then backwashing it out once every week or so. The most common type of acid neutralizer filter has an automatic backwash control valve. The frequency and length of the backwash cycle can be easily adjusted on the control valve. Most backwashing acid neutralizer filters are set to backwash once a week for eight to ten minutes. This backwashing cleans the calcite filter media and allows the mineral media to more easily dissolve into the water over time.

Different Purposes for Which Steel Square Tube is Taken under Use

In industries, various kinds of tubes are developed that are hot dipped galvanized tubes, Steel Tubes and pipes, Black Steel Tubes, Aluminized Steel Tubes, Fence Tubes, structural steel, Mild Steel Welded Black Tubes and scaffolding pipes. Such steel tubes are developed as well as exported all over the world by several of the industries. The standards of production which are laid down through the government required to be maintained since this determines the eminence of the steel pipes as well. The sizes and the dimensions of the tubes vary. The diameter and the thickness of each pipe are different. Hence a person has to decide the purpose prior to buying the tube. Several of the shapes of the pipes are round, rectangle, hexagon and square.

Exploring the Utilization of Steel Square Tube

The chief purpose behind using such tube is that it is extremely sturdy. The configuration of such tubes varies as per the requirement. Such aluminized tubes are used in Industrial and automobile exhaust systems, HVAC industry, Muffler and many other such exercises can be seen. In the industrial and the automobile sector different sorts of tubes are utilized. The hot hollow galvanized pipes are also taken under use in these sectors. Hence the galvanized as well as the electro galvanized pipes and tubes that are utilized for engineering and industrial works required to be of high quality  with the intention that it reduces the pollution as well as the other problems to a greater extent.

Quality and affordable stainless steel seamless pipe

Seamless pipes serve a very special purpose. Due to their physical design, not only do they ensure superior strength and support, thanks to the absence of any noticeable joints in the pipe, they also look good as well. This ensures that they find application in a lot of cases where the pipes need to be in open view. There are numerous structural advantages of using a stainless steel seamless pipe as well, all of which have helped ensure a huge demand for them in the Indian market.

What advantages does a seamless pipe offer?

A stainless steel seamless pipe is made by forming a hollow tube of uniform width and circumference. He hollow structure ensures that the pipes can be easily bent to form any required shape and accommodate any structural needs of the client. So when a pipe needs to be laid out in such a manner that it will not be forming a straight line, seamless pipes are preferred over other types of stainless steel pipes.

Since the pipe can simply be bent whenever needed, there are no needs for joints in seamless pipes. An absence of joints makes these pipes several times stronger than welded ones. They can withstand higher pressure and thus find application in scenarios where a regular pipe with joints or weldings would simply break apart.

Another major advantage that seamless pipes offer is the uniformity of their size. You can be certain that any quality stainless steel seamless pipe will have uniform cross section at every point. This is the result of the formation process for these pipes where the molten steel is placed around a circular object and then formed into a hollow tube. Welded pipes, even with the most  advanced welding technologies can never come close to achieving this level of uniformity. When a pipe is needed that can be counted on to fit the design perfectly, seamless pipes are the way to go,


Strength and reliability are the two areas where seamless pipes have left all other kind of steel pipes behind. Despite slightly higher costs, they are extremely reliable and can be counted on to deliver superior performance at all times.
