Large Whole House Manganese, Iron and Hydrogen Sulfide removal Water Filter, also known as Whole House Greensand Water Filter. This filter conains naturally mined ore of manganese dioxide which has been used in water treatment for more than 75 years. This unit requires no regeneration. Nothing is imparted into the drinking water and it has a high capacity for low contaminant concentrations, and can be used in conjunction with aeration, chlorination, ozone or other pretreatment methods for difficult applications. Chlorine or other oxidants accelerate the catalytic reaction.
Greensand Whole House Water Filter Specifications
Water goes through 3 stages of filtration.
In Stage 1, water flows through a 20"x2.5" sediment pre-filter that removes sediment, dirt and silt. This water filter also extends life of the main unit
In Stage 2, water flows through a large 5' mineral tank that contains Manganese, Iron and Hydrogen Sulfide reducing Greensand media.
In Stage 3, water flows through a 20"x2.5" solid carbon block filter cartridge. Carbon (also called Charcoal ) has been used in water filtration for centuries. It effectively removes or reduces many contaminants including Volatile Organic Compounds ( VOCs ), insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents.
