Description
WODARO PH BALANCE 60 is a filter for raising water pH, equipped with 60 litres of dolomite media and an automatic Clack control valve. It corrects excessively low pH, helping reduce the corrosiveness of water towards pipework, fittings and pressure tanks. The model has a capacity of 0.7 m³/h and can form part of a water treatment installation requiring pH correction.
WODARO PH BALANCE 60 – a solution for excessively low water pH
Acidic water can accelerate corrosion of plumbing components. Low pH also makes iron and manganese removal more difficult. The WODARO PH BALANCE 60 pH-raising filter corrects this parameter, reducing one of the factors contributing to corrosion and preparing the water for further treatment.
This solution is intended for installations where water testing has identified a need to raise pH. Unit selection should consider the analysis results, required flow rate and feed pump parameters.
Key benefits
- Correction of acidity – the dolomite media raises the pH of water flowing through it.
- Reduced corrosiveness – improving pH helps protect pipework, fittings and pressure tanks.
- Automatic flushing control – the Clack control valve controls filter operation and media cleaning cycles.
- 60 litres of media – the amount specified for WODARO PH BALANCE 60, which has a capacity of 0.7 m³/h.
- Reinforced vessel construction – the tank is made of polyethylene and epoxy resin, reinforced with fibreglass.
How does a pH-raising filter work?
Water flows through a column filled with specially prepared dolomite media. Its components, including calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide, raise the pH. As a result, the water becomes less corrosive.
WODARO PH BALANCE 60 is equipped with a Clack control valve. It controls automatic unit operation, including backwashing the media with water flowing in the opposite direction to normal service flow. This process removes accumulated suspended impurities and loosens the media bed.
Equipment and operation
The basic components of WODARO PH BALANCE 60 are:
- a filtration column with a 12 × 52 inch vessel,
- 60 litres of dolomite media,
- an automatic Clack control valve.
The media gradually loses its ability to raise pH. The manufacturer states a service life of up to 5 years, which does not indicate a fixed replacement interval for every installation. During use, pH correction effectiveness and media condition should be monitored.
Backwashing does not restore the media's pH-raising properties. It cleans and loosens the media, but does not replace the need to change exhausted material.
What should be considered before installation?
The installation must provide a drain for backwash water. During unit selection, check both the pump capacity and head to ensure the conditions required for correct filter operation and backwashing.
When planning the installation space, also allow for the control valve and connections. The stated dimensions of 315/1338 mm refer to the vessel alone – they are not the dimensions of the complete unit with its control valve.

FAQ
How can I check whether I need a pH-raising filter?
Water analysis is the starting point. If it indicates excessively low pH, a pH correction column can be selected, also considering other water parameters, the required flow rate and installation operating conditions.
Does FU PH1252CLK replace an iron or manganese removal filter?
Its purpose is to raise pH. pH correction can make iron and manganese removal easier in subsequent treatment stages, but this model should not be treated as a replacement for units designed to remove those contaminants.
To what value will the filter raise water pH?
The manufacturer does not specify a single guaranteed outlet pH. During unit selection, the expected result should be determined from water analysis and installation operating conditions.
Does automatic backwashing mean the media never needs replacement?
No. Backwashing removes suspended impurities and loosens the media, but does not restore its exhausted ability to raise pH. The media requires periodic checks and replacement once its properties are depleted.
