Single tank media filters require a regular maintenance schedule. Another common problem is the single tank filters are over filled with media. For example, calcite is used for water that is acidic. A bag of calcite weighs 50 lbs. At that weight, a conventional back washing valve will not generate enough back pressure to rinse or lift the media. Now Imagine what happens when "Water Treatment" companies use two bags of calcite? When too much calcite is used, it will harden and turn sold/hard like cement. Thus becoming a useless filter. Birm or Green Sand are other medias (that if to much used) will become non functional. www.waterpros.net

If you’re looking to add key vitamins and minerals to your diet, it is more important to focus on the food you eat. A well-balanced meal plan will provide the daily dose of nutrients you need to stay healthy. If you’re concerned about your intake, consider adding a multivitamin or supplement. Water softeners are designed to capture and remove specific minerals (magnesium and calcium) from your water. This process gets rid of the home-damaging hardness minerals and leaves minerals like fluoride (which helps prevent tooth decay) intact. Not only
