Iron is one of the most common elements found in nature, and most ground waters in NH, ME, and MA contain a measurable amount of iron. Iron stains bathtubs, toilets, sinks, driveways and it will even stain the side of your house in sufficient concentrations. Absolute Water System offers a solution for water filtration systems in NH, ME, and MA: The Filox™ backwashing iron water filter. This iron water filter is a non-chemical oxidizing media to reduce iron.
Options are available for both a well water filter, or filters for whole house treatment. If you are looking for an eco-friendly option for your family, this iron water filtration system may be right for you.
Filox™ System Advantages
- Highest flow rate of any iron removal media - Because of its superior performance potential, Filox supports a significantly higher service flow rate per bed size and can be used in smaller filters than Birm and Greensand. An 9" diameter Filox filter actually exceeds the service flow capacity of a 12" diameter Birm or Greensand filter.
- No oxidizing chemicals needed for regeneration
- High efficiency with 80% manganese dioxide for enhanced performance and capacity - Filox (often called Pyrolox) is superior to most other oxidizing medias because of its very high manganese dioxide content. Manganese dioxide is the active ingredient of all leading iron/manganese reduction systems. Filox consists of 80% manganese dioxide. Manganese Greensand is 3% and Birm is 1% manganese dioxide. The high manganese dioxide content produces a much more active and kinetic media, and is therefore, a much more effective product.
- Effective from 5.0 to 9.0 pH - Filox operates within a much broader pH range than most iron-reduction media. It can be used to treat waters that are significantly lower in pH than Birm. Unlike Birm, Filox is chlorine tolerant. In fact, it works well with all the standard oxidizing agents (chlorine, potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, air).
- System is easy to program - 10 pre-programmed regeneration cycles to optimize water treatment
- Filox has an expected lifespan that is 7500 times that of Birm (Greensand can be expected to last 50 times as long as Birm.) Filox also has superior particle strength which makes it hold up better than other media during the frequent backwashing required of iron filters.
- Higher Capacity for Iron, Manganese and Sulfur - Filox alone, without additional oxidizers, under the right conditions, a cucic foot is capable of handling up to 15 ppm (parts per million) iron, 7 ppm hydrogen sulfide, and 3 ppm manganese. Capacity increases greatly with the use of oxidizers as pretreatment.
Product Description – Filox Iron Water Filter:
FILOX™ MEDIA FOR IRON, HYDROGEN SULFIDE, MANGANESE REMOVAL. Filox™ is used for removing iron, hydrogen sulfide, and manganese from water supplies. It is a media that utilizes an oxidation-reduction reaction and filtration process similar to Greensand, but at a much higher level of performance. Filox-R™ contains 80% manganese dioxide in an extremely unique cluster format for enhanced performance and maximized capacity. Filox™ out performs Greensand, Brim, etc. due to the purity of its particles, superior oxidation/filtration capacity, and durability.
