Filter-Ox

Filter-OxTM tackles iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide in your water through a combination of oxidation and filtration. This engineered media boasts a super high-purity manganese dioxide coating for efficient contaminant reduction across a wide pH range. Let's delve into its specifications and features to see if it addresses your water treatment needs.

Key features

Reduces:

  • Iron
  • Manganese
  • Hydrogen sulfide

Reduction Method: Oxidation and filtration

Advantages:

  • Effective iron reduction across a wide pH range
  • Removes hydrogen sulfide in addition to iron and/or manganese
  • Not harmed by chlorine feed
  • Low attrition rate for extended media life

Additional Features:

  • Manufactured in the USA
  • Contains minimal fines (particles)
  • Requires minimal initial backwashing
  • Compatible with standard chlorine sterilization

Oxidation Methods:

  • Catalytic Oxidation (CO) – preferred for iron removal with or without manganese
    • Requires feeding chlorine or another oxidant directly to raw water before the filter
