Crystal-Right CR100, 1 CuFt (28 litres)

Crystal Right CR100 is a synthetic zeolite media designed for water treatment, particularly effective in removing iron, manganese, and hardness from water. Here’s a detailed description, including its advantages, limitations, and applications:

Key Features:

• Synthetic Zeolite: Crystal Right CR100 is a synthetic zeolite, ensuring consistent quality and performance without the impurities found in natural zeolites.
• Multi-Functionality: This media effectively removes iron, manganese, and hardness from water while also helping to balance pH levels, making it a versatile solution for water treatment.

Technical Details:

• Screen Size: 8–50 mesh (U.S. Standard Dry), ensuring optimal flow rates and contact time.
• Water Retention: 50%, maintaining the media’s effectiveness during the treatment process.
• pH Range: Effective within a pH range of 6–11, suitable for various water conditions.
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 50 lb. per cubic foot, facilitating easy handling and installation.
• Physical Appearance: Grey/white crystals, which are visually identifiable and easy to manage.
• Backwash Flow Rate: 8–10 gallons per minute per square foot, ensuring efficient cleaning and regeneration of the media.

Applications:

• Iron and Manganese Removal: Crystal Right CR100 is highly effective at removing dissolved iron and manganese, preventing staining and other issues in water systems.
• Hardness Reduction: It also reduces water hardness, preventing scale buildup in pipes and appliances.
• pH Balancing: The media helps balance the pH of acidic water, making it less corrosive and more suitable for use.
• Residential Water Softeners: Ideal for use in household water softening systems to ensure clean and soft water.
• Commercial and Industrial Water Treatment: Suitable for larger-scale applications in commercial and industrial settings where water quality is critical.
• Well Water Treatment: Effective in treating well water, which often contains high levels of iron, manganese, and hardness.

Advantages:

• Comprehensive Treatment: Crystal Right CR100 addresses multiple water quality issues in a single treatment step, making it a highly efficient solution.
• Consistent Quality: Being a synthetic zeolite, it offers consistent performance and quality without the variability found in natural materials.
• Durability: The media is long-lasting and can be regenerated using common salt (sodium chloride), similar to traditional water softeners, ensuring ease of maintenance.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from residential to industrial, providing flexibility in water treatment solutions.

Limitations:

• Hydrogen Sulfide: Crystal Right CR100 is not effective in removing hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) if its concentration exceeds 0.5 ppm.
• Minimum Hardness Requirement: The media requires a minimum hardness level of 50 ppm calcium carbonate.
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Requires a minimum TDS level of 80 ppm for optimal performance..
• pH Sensitivity: While it operates within a broad pH range, extremely low or high pH levels can affect its efficiency.
• Max. Combined Iron and Manganese: 15 PPM

Crystal Right CR100 is an advanced and reliable media for improving water quality, ensuring safe and clean water for various applications. However, it is important to consider its limitations and ensure that the water conditions meet the necessary requirements for optimal performance.
