===== Purpose =====
This tank contained calcite that raised the pH of the water lowering the acidity to reduce corrosion and limit leaching of heavy metals into the water.

===== Backwashing =====
Per [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n6r7NAXKjs|this video]] backwashing of the calcite media is only needed when you have high iron levels. Since we no longer have high iron levels this unit no longer needs to be plugged in to do the backwash.

===== History =====
The 2006 pH Treatment Tank was imploded on 6/26/2026 when Tumwater Drilling and Pump was testing the well pump. A vacuum was created when the well was disconnected.
