Manganese Removal System - Black Stains & Bitter Taste
Say goodbye to black stains and bitter water with our complete manganese removal system
The problem
Black or brown staining on your sinks and laundry is more than just an eyesore—it’s a sign of manganese contamination in your well water. Along with an unpleasant bitter, metallic taste, manganese can cause lasting damage to plumbing and appliances, making everyday water use frustrating and costly.
This common water issue often appears alongside iron, compounding staining and taste problems. Without proper treatment, manganese buildup can stain fixtures, ruin clothes, and deliver an unpleasant drinking experience that your family shouldn’t have to accept.
How it works — the media that fixes it
Our system uses a powerful oxidizing catalytic media known as Katalox-Light (or greensand-plus) that transforms dissolved manganese and iron into filterable particles. These contaminants are trapped within the media bed, ensuring your water is clear and free from staining elements.
An automatic backwashing valve regularly cleans the media bed on a schedule, maintaining peak performance without manual effort. For higher concentrations, an air-injection system or a light peroxide feed works to oxidize manganese and iron effectively—without requiring ongoing chemical additions at moderate levels.
