Acid Neutralizer

[held927]

I had very low water pressure all throughout the house right after my bladder tank was replaced. I have an acid neutralizer tank. I bypassed the tank and now the water pressure is strong. What is affecting the water pressure when it runs thru the neutralizer? I have calcite topped off to the correct level. Thanks for any help.

the tank is basically an obstruction. it IS slowling down the water as it goes thru the filter media

thanks Frodo. That makes sense. Guess I'll need to have the water tested to see if truly need a neutralizer.

I'm curious if you have a backwash head on the neutralizer of if it simply has an in/out head. The backwash head keeps the calcite loose so it can't cake up. An in/out head runs the water through backwards so as to loosen it up as you use water.

I've attached a picture. I just purchased a Campbell Valve in Head Filter system replacement.

sorry the new filter system replaces my whole house filter. not sure why mentioned that since doesn't relate to your question.
