Filter-Ox™ Clack Iron reduction filtering material 14.15 liters

Filter-Ox™ is a highly effective filter material capable of reducing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide from water through oxidation and filtration.

Soluble iron and manganese are oxidized and precipitated upon contact with the catalytic coating on the Filter-Ox™ granules.

Hydrogen sulfide is oxidized to an insoluble sulfur precipitate. The precipitate is then filtered and removed by backwashing. Filter-Ox™ is an engineered media that uses an ultra-high purity manganese dioxide coating bonded to a durable, lightweight silica substrate Manganese dioxide is a powerful oxidizer and Filter-Ox™ contains more manganese dioxide than other manganese-based filter media. Made in the USA, Filter-Ox™ contains almost no fines and does not require a long initial backwash time. A standard sterilization treatment using chlorine is all that is required at start-up.
