How Hydrox Works
Hydrox’s effectiveness stems from its high manganese dioxide content, acting as a catalyst to enhance oxidation reactions. It utilizes oxygen in the water to precipitate minerals and gases, trapping impurities in the filtration bed. These contaminants are then flushed out during backwashing, restoring optimal filtration capacity.
For enhanced results, upstream oxidizing agents like chlorine or ozone can be introduced. This bolsters oxidation rates while keeping the filtration bed clean and efficient.
