All the filter media you need for the system is included.
Birm and/or Greensand iron filters are an excellent method of removing high levels of iron manganese and odor from well waters.
Iron and manganese are oxidized and precipitated instantly by contact with the greensand media.
The system automatically backwashes and cleans the greensand filter media using potassium permanganate which is easily added on a regular basis to the potassium permanganate solution tank.
Raw water pH should be 6.8 or greater for best performance although it will work down to a pH of 6.5.
Chlorine can be fed through the iron filter to increase performance.
Filter tank is NSF certified one piece seamless polyester construction for long life.
Max pressure recommended is 100 psi.
Maximum water temperature recommended 100F.
Rugged heavy-duty Fleck 2510 backwash control valve features fully adjustable backwash and rinse cycles saving water and allowing maximized performance.
Time-tested hydraulically balanced piston seal and spacers provide years of trouble-free service.
Non-corrosive high-tech material construction.
12-day time clock can be programmed so the filter backwashes at any time of the day at intervals of every 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 12 days.
The recommended maximum flow rate for best filtration performance is 5.0 gallons per minute but peak flow rates of up to 10 gallons per minute are possible.
The backwash flow rate is 5.0 gallons per minute.
If your water has both iron and manganese, or iron and hydrogen sulfide odor, or iron bacteria, this is a very effective and heavy-duty approach to achieve clean odor-free water through out the house!
