Iron in your water can turn everyday activities into a frustrating chore. Orange and brown stains appear on sinks, tubs, toilets, and laundry, marring the look of your home and requiring constant cleaning. Beyond the visible stains, iron also leaves a metallic taste that affects your drinking water and cooking, making even the simplest glass of water less enjoyable.

Why it works

This system relies on advanced Katalox Light media, a specialized oxidizing material that works together with an injected air pocket inside the filter. The air injection introduces oxygen into the water, oxidizing the dissolved iron and converting it into solid particles. These particles are then trapped within the Katalox bed, which acts like a filter to capture and hold the iron contaminants. During the automatic backwash cycle, these trapped iron particles are flushed out of the system, restoring the media’s filtering ability and ensuring continuous protection. This natural oxidation and filtration process requires no chemicals, making the system environmentally friendly and efficient.

Sizing it right

Choosing the correct size for your iron filter depends on your household water usage and flow rate. Our systems are designed to match typical residential demands, but precise sizing ensures optimal performance and longevity. Factors like the number of occupants, daily water consumption, and peak flow rates during showers or laundry should be considered.
