Cal Hydro
Cal Hydro is an ultra fine high purity calcium carbonate powder created for the specific needs of potable water treatment. It plays a vital role in municipal water systems and bottled water facilities where stable pH and high clarity are essential for consumer safety and regulatory compliance. The product neutralises acidity and acts as a dependable buffering agent which helps maintain the desired pH levels throughout the treatment and distribution process.
Its exceptional fineness ensures that the powder dissolves rapidly when introduced through dosing pumps, slurry preparation systems or calcite filter beds. This quick dissolution supports uniform treatment of water streams and minimises the risk of inconsistent output quality. With a calcium carbonate content of not less than ninety seven per cent and very low levels of magnesium oxide, iron oxide and silica, Cal Hydro is engineered to deliver purity and effectiveness in every application.
Benefits
Cal Hydro offers a combination of purity, reactivity and operational ease which makes it a reliable material for water treatment operations.
- High neutralising capacity and calcium ions
- Low MgO prevents excessive water hardness
- Low silica reduces insoluble water residues
- High purity ensures safe water treatment
- Fine sizing enables rapid pH correction
- Low iron prevents discolouration and turbidity
Overall, the product delivers stable performance that supports consistent production of safe and clear drinking water.
Uses
Cal Hydro is used in a range of potable water treatment applications where precise pH adjustment and water clarity are essential. It is suited for use in dosing pump systems where quick and complete dissolution is important for continuous operations.
- Neutralising acidity in potable water
- pH buffering in municipal and bottled water systems
- Use in dosing pumps and slurry preparation
- Application in calcite filter beds
In short, Cal Hydro serves as a consistent and highly responsive aid for maintaining safe and clear drinking water.
Production
Cal Hydro is produced from high purity calcium carbonate sources that are refined to deliver a product with low moisture and low impurity levels. The material is processed into an ultra fine powder with a particle size above two hundred mesh which ensures rapid reactivity in water treatment systems.
