Aries (AF-20-3231-BB) 20"x4.5" Big Blue 100% Calcite Cartridge
AF-20-3231-BB 20"x4.5" Big Blue 100% Calcite Cartridge
The Aries AF-20-3231-BB is a specialty cartridge filled with 100% calcite media designed to raise pH levels and neutralize acidic water. This 20-inch Big Blue cartridge fits standard 20" housings and provides reliable pH correction for municipal or well water with low pH values.
Acidic water flows through the calcite bed, which slowly dissolves to release calcium carbonate into the water stream. This controlled dissolution raises pH levels, typically from acidic ranges (6.0-6.5) up to neutral (7.0-7.5), while adding beneficial calcium minerals. The calcite media self-sacrifices over time, requiring periodic cartridge replacement based on water acidity and usage volume.
The Aries AF-20-3231-BB fits all standard 20-inch Big Blue filter housings with 4.5-inch inner diameters. Commonly used in whole-house systems where acidic well water or low-pH municipal water requires correction before distribution throughout the home. Best suited for water with pH levels between 5.5 and 6.5 requiring moderate alkalinity adjustment.
