Whole House Oxidation System with Filox-R Media

iron removal from water

Use for Dissolved Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide, and Manganese.

Filox-R media is an extra strong oxidizer media. It is based on enhanced 80% manganese dioxide, and outperforms most other media used for this purpose.

Filox-R performs between 20 -100 times better than BIRM and manganese greensand, and is the best choice if you wish to use no oxidants or weak oxidants such as hypochlorite or Air Injection.

Important Notice: Water with an Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) of below 0 millivolts requires the use of chlorine bleach injection, permanganate solution injection, (using feed pump listed below) or an Air Injection system upstream to boost the oxidation process. This is very important. A water service professional should measure the ORP of your water supply before you purchase. You want a positive (+) ORP value for proper performance.

Life Expectancy of the Filox-R media: usually 10 years, for low contaminant concentrations.
This Filox-R backwashing system is completely automatic, and features a Digital Timered Control Head.

Technical Details and Operating Conditions:

pH Range: 5.0 - 9.0 Extreme pH ranges (i.e. 5 & 9) have an adverse effect.
Removal Capacity without adding additional chemicals (such as chlorine or permanganate): IRON - 15 ppm, HYDROGEN SULFIDE - 7 ppm, MANGANESE - 3 ppm
Note: Higher contaminant levels (ppms) can be removed by adding a chlorine injection pump or Venturi Air Injector upstream. Chlorine, Air Injection, any oxidizer will greatly enhance the performance of Filox-R. At the very least you should add an Air Injector upstream for best results.
Maximum Removal Capacity with Chlorine Injection: IRON - 27 ppm, HYDROGEN SULFIDE - 17 ppm, MANGANESE - 11 ppm.
Water with an Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) of below 0 millivolts (in the Negative) requires the use of chlorine bleach injection, permanganate solution injection, (using feed pump listed below) or an Air Injection system upstream to boost the oxidation process. This is important. A water service professional should measure the ORP of your water supply.
Install a whole house 5 micron sediment filter before and especially after this system. This is very important. The oxidation process will create precipitate particles that must be removed upon leaving the unit, or they will coat and foul water softeners or other units downstream.
Install this Filox-R system upstream of the water softener if you have a water softener.
Set the clock to backwash the system once a day for best results, according to the manufacturer of Filox-R.
