Description
WODARO PH BALANCE 160 is an automatic pH-raising water filter equipped with 160 litres of dolomite media and a Clack control valve. The model, with a rated capacity of 1.6 m³/h corrects excessively low pH, helping reduce water corrosiveness towards pipework, fittings and pressure tanks. It can also serve as a pretreatment stage where acidic water makes iron and manganese removal more difficult.
Filter for low-pH water – when should it be used?
Excessively low water pH can contribute to accelerated corrosion of plumbing components. WODARO PH BALANCE 160 is designed for installations where water analysis indicates a need to raise pH. Instead of selecting the unit solely according to building size, consider the water composition, required flow rate and feed pump parameters.
This model is a suitable solution where there is a need for a pH correction column containing 160 litres of media, and a capacity of 1.6 m³/h matches installation demand. Selection should also consider the conditions needed for correct filter backwashing.
Main advantages of WODARO PH BALANCE 160
- Raising water pH – the dolomite media corrects water pH, reducing corrosiveness associated with low pH.
- Automatic flushing – the Clack control valve controls unit operation and media cleaning cycles.
- 160 litres of media – the media volume specific to WODARO PH BALANCE 160 in an 18 × 65 inch vessel.
- Support for further treatment – low-pH correction can improve conditions for iron and manganese removal.
- Reinforced vessel construction – the tank is made of polyethylene and epoxy resin, reinforced with fibreglass.
How does dolomite media work?
Water flows through a column filled with specially prepared dolomite media. According to the description, pH is raised by releasing calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide. The process corrects acidity and reduces water corrosiveness.
A single fixed outlet pH should not be assumed. The expected result should be assessed when selecting the unit according to water test results and installation operating conditions.
Clack control valve and filter operation
WODARO PH BALANCE 160 is equipped with a control valve Clack. It controls automatic filter operation and media backwashing with water flowing in the opposite direction to service flow. Backwashing removes accumulated suspended impurities and loosens the media.
Backwashing does not restore the media's ability to raise pH. This ability is gradually depleted, so automatic backwashing control does not replace checking treatment effectiveness. The manufacturer states a media service life of up to 5 years; this is not a fixed replacement interval for every installation.
Unit construction and installation requirements
WODARO PH BALANCE 160 consists of a filtration column measuring 18 × 65 inches, containing 160 litres of dolomite media and a control valve Clack. Installation requires a raw water supply, a treated water outlet connection and a drain for backwash water.
Before installation, check the feed pump's capacity and head. These parameters must meet the system's requirements. Operating conditions must also be within a pressure range of 2–6 bar and a water temperature of 2–30°C.
Allow space for the complete system. The stated dimensions of 495 × 1722 mm refer to the vessel alone. The control valve increases the unit's height. The documentation specifies a connection diameter range of 1–1¼ inches.

FAQ
Is WODARO PH BALANCE 160 suitable for raising the pH of well water?
It can be used if water testing identifies a need for pH correction. The fact that water comes from a well is insufficient for selection. Its composition, the required flow rate and pump parameters must be considered.
Does this filter also remove iron and manganese?
The confirmed purpose of this model is to raise pH. pH correction can support subsequent iron and manganese removal.
Does automatic backwashing mean the media never needs replacement?
No. Backwashing cleans and loosens the media, but does not restore its ability to raise pH. The manufacturer states a service life of up to 5 years, and replacement needs should be assessed from filter effectiveness.
Is the 1.6 m³/h capacity enough to check pump compatibility?
No. This is the filter capacity. Pump selection also requires checking backwashing requirements and pump head.
