Filox-R High-Performance Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide, and Manganese Removal Media

Filox-R is a superior filtration media designed to efficiently remove iron, hydrogen sulfide, and manganese from water. Unlike traditional media like Greensand, Filox-R requires no oxidizing chemicals for regeneration, offering a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution.

Filox-R boasts an exceptional flow rate, handling up to 6 gallons per minute per cubic foot of service flow and 12-15 gallons per square foot during backwashing. This high flow rate allows for efficient filtration without sacrificing performance.

To ensure optimal results, the water's pH should be maintained at 7 or higher for iron removal and 8 or higher for manganese removal. Additionally, the water must contain at least 15% dissolved oxygen relative to the combined iron and manganese content.

Filox-R's high density requires a powerful backwash flow to effectively remove oxidized iron and manganese. However, this investment in backwashing is offset by the media's exceptional service flow rate and extended lifespan compared to Birm.

Key Benefits:

  • High removal efficiency for iron, hydrogen sulfide, and manganese
  • No need for oxidizing chemicals
  • Superior flow rate
  • Durable and long-lasting
  • Environmentally friendly

30% -50% freeboard

Service flow rate: 28m/hr
Backwash rate: 36 m/hr
