Iron Eater Specifications

Chem-Free Iron Filter Clean, crystal clear, great tasting water. Clothing that's clean, fresh and stain-free. Dishes and bathroom fixtures that glisten and sparkle.  The chem-free iron filter eliminates iron from your water and iron problems from your life. Attention Free Operation Once installed, the chemical free iron filter requires little or no attention. It automatically removes soluble iron, sometimes called ferrous iron or "clear water", precipitated iron, sometimes called ferric iron or "red water" and bacterial iron. It is safe and very economical because it requires none of the expensive or messy chemicals conventional iron filters use. Neutralizes Acidic Water The chemical free iron removal filter's patented process raises the pH of the water, improving the efficiency of iron removal. This has the added benefit of neutralizing acidic water.

Features

• Minimal operating costs - requires no chemicals fro regeneration.
• Attention-free operating removes iron concentrations of up to 35 ppm.
• Conserves water - requires only occasional backwashing using 10% of the water a conventional filter uses in regeneration.
• The fiberglass tank carries a ten year warranty.
• Comprehensive warranty on parts.
• Neutralizes acidic water.
• Optional bypass valve.
• Optional insulated tank jacket to reduce condensation.

1. Valve Control 2. Optional Tank Jacket 3. Corrosion Proof Tank 4. Media 5. Gravel The chem-free iron filter features two major components, a hydro-charger and a backwashable filter containing special media. In some applications a contact tank or an additional pressure tank may be required for chem-free to function.

The Hydrochager adds a controlled amount of air to the water supply just before it enters the pressure tank. The air starts the iron removal process as the water sits in the tank.

The water's pH is automatically raised to neutral or higher as it passes through the filter bed and a catalytic effect occurs between the iron and filter media.  The iron actually changes into a colloidal state and as such it is trapped throughout the filter bed. This produces an iron removal capacity four (4) times greater than a conventional iron removal filter.

The Chem-free filter media remains unchanged at the end of the oxidation process and consequently requires no chemical regeneration.

Periodic backwashing of the filter bed flushes the precipitated iron to the drain and readies the filter for use again. The duration and frequency of backwashing varies from 10-12 minutes every 4-12 days, depending on iron concentration and water usage.

Iron Eater Specifications
 

Note: Models ending with "M" are required when raw water has up to 1.0 mg/l of manganese or when pH is below 7.0. Over a period of time, it may become necessary to add more media to the unit - An ML-1 Media Loader is available. Adding media is necessary only when water has low pH or manganese is present.
*Above models certified and approved for sale in the State of Wisconsin.
**Peak flow rates intended for intermittent use only (10 minutes or less) For satisfactory operation, pumping rate of well system must equal or exceed indicated backwash flow rate.
