Whole House Iron and Manganese Filter

Iron is known to leach into water supplies throughout the United States from rock and soil formations. It has been said, probably an exaggeration, that there is hardly a square foot of soil that does not have some iron content. Iron is at least 5% of the earths crust.

A yellow to reddish discoloration can appear in water in concentrations as low as 0.3 ppm (parts per million) and begin the staining and scale process, depending on the pH, as well as taste and odor problems.

1. Ferric Iron Red water iron
2. Ferrous Iron Clear water Iron

Since iron is found in different forms, a removal problem is created as each type of iron may require different techniques and types of equipment. The WF Iron Filter is the only system you need. It will eliminate all Ferric and Ferrous iron from your water to 5 ppm. If you have Iron bacteria than a UV light or chlorine injection will be necessary.

 

Filtration Media

The Iron Filter uses a two tank system to soften and remove the iron from the water. Tank one softens the water and oxidizes the iron with the powerful NaturSoft™ media. Tank two traps the iron with a filter media and gravel under bed then flushes it with the backwash system.

Note: If you have a large home with more than 6gpm you will need to add a 3rd tank to handle the flow or if you have iron greater than 5ppm you will also need a 3rd tank to handle the iron.
