Operating Conditions
To ensure optimal functionality, follow these guidelines:
- pH Range: Maintain water between 6.5 and 9.0. Note that for specific contaminant removal, a pH of 7 is required for iron and a pH of 8 is needed for manganese.
- Bed Depth: Suggested depth of 18 inches or 460 mm, depending on application.
- Backwash Flow Rate: 25-30 gpm/sq. ft.
- Recommended Service Flow Rate: 5 gpm/sq. ft. (12.2 ideal for many installations).
- Freeboard: At least 40% of bed depth to allow proper expansion.
Note: Install a silex or garnet underbed that keeps the media stable during backwashing.
Maintenance Made Simple
Pyrolox must be backwashed daily to remove trapped particulates and maintain its performance. For enhanced long-term results, an oxidant feed system (such as chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, or potassium permanganate) is highly recommended. Hydrogen peroxide should not be used.
This robust media thrives under proper care, delivering consistently clean water your home or business can depend on.
