BöttcherPro Calcit Use of Water Re-Hardener

BöttcherPro Calcit is a water re-hardener for use in conjunction with RO (reverse osmosis) water or with very soft water, to standardise the water hardness.

Application

During the RO process all mineral salts and vegetable/algae in the water are removed. Before use, the com- pletely salt-free water from the RO unit has to be re-hardened with a special re-hardener to the optimum hardness range between 8 to 10° dH (total German hardness) before using it in fountain solutions. Böt- tcherPro Calcit re-hardener is added at a dosage of 0.5 % to the reverse osmosis water or to the soft water feed lines to the circulation system by the use of automatic dosage pumps. BöttcherPro Calcit works at an optimum with BöttcherFount additives. After adding BöttcherPro Calcit the fount additive is pumped into the water feed line by an automatic dosage pump set at 2 to 3 %, to the re-hardened water, which then flows into the fountain solution circulation system.
