Description
WODARO PH BALANCE 70 is an automatic pH-raising water filter equipped with 70 litres of dolomite media and a Clack control valve. It corrects excessively low pH and reduces the corrosiveness of water towards pipework, fittings and pressure tanks. The model with a 13 × 54″ vessel has a rated capacity of 0.9 m³/h.
Filter for water with excessively low pH
Acidic water can accelerate corrosion of plumbing components. Low pH also makes iron and manganese removal more difficult. WODARO PH BALANCE 70 corrects water pH and can therefore be an important part of a properly selected treatment system.
This solution is intended for installations where water analysis indicates a need to raise pH and the required flow rate matches the unit's capacity. Selection should consider both the water composition and feed pump parameters.
Main advantages of WODARO PH BALANCE 70
- Water pH correction – the dolomite media raises pH as water flows through the column.
- Reduced corrosiveness – raising excessively low pH helps reduce the adverse effects of acidic water on the installation.
- Automatic flushing control – the Clack control valve controls filter operation and media cleaning.
- 70 litres of media – the amount specified for the FU PH1354 variant, which has a rated capacity of 0.9 m³/h.
- 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 manufacturer's description, the media raises pH by releasing calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide. This corrects the acidity of the water and reduces its corrosiveness.
Raising pH is not the same as softening water. WODARO PH BALANCE 70 should be selected to address excessively low pH. If the water also requires hardness, iron or manganese reduction, the entire treatment system should be selected according to its analysis.
Equipment of the model with a Clack control valve
The designation CLK identifies the version with a Clack control valve. The basic unit components are:
- a filtration column with a 13 × 54″ vessel,
- 70 litres of dolomite media,
- a Clack control valve providing automatic filter operation and backwashing.
Backwashing and operation
The media is automatically backwashed with water flowing in the opposite direction to normal service flow. Backwashing removes retained suspended impurities and loosens the filter bed.
Backwashing does not restore the media's ability to raise pH. This ability is depleted during use, so automatic control valve operation does not eliminate the need to check pH correction effectiveness. The manufacturer specifies a media service life of up to 5 years.
Before purchase and installation: check the water analysis and the feed pump's capacity and head. The installation requires a drain for backwash water. The stated dimensions of 349 × 1398 mm refer to the vessel alone – the control valve and connections must also be allowed for when planning the space.

FAQ
To what pH will the filter raise the water?
The datasheet does not specify a single guaranteed outlet pH. Unit selection and assessment of the expected result should be based on water analysis and installation operating conditions.
Does WODARO PH BALANCE 70 remove iron and manganese?
Its purpose is to raise pH. Correcting excessively low pH can facilitate iron and manganese removal in a properly selected system, but this model's datasheet does not state removal effectiveness for these contaminants. It should not be treated as a standalone iron or manganese removal filter.
Does automatic backwashing regenerate exhausted media?
No. Backwashing cleans and loosens the media, but does not restore its exhausted ability to raise pH.
Is a 0.9 m³/h capacity sufficient for my installation?
Compare it with the flow rate required in the installation. Correct selection also requires water analysis results and pump parameters that ensure suitable conditions for filter operation and backwashing.
Does the height of 1398 mm include the control valve?
No. This is the vessel height. The control valve increases the unit's overall height.
