C-Series Iron Bacteria & Slime System
Head valve + tank + media, matched to solve iron bacteria & slime — sized and shipped free.
Iron Bacteria and Slime clog your pipes with a stubborn, slimy buildup that stains fixtures, fouls water with a metallic or musty odor, and invites bacterial colonies to multiply unchecked. Over time, this slime layer damages your plumbing, reduces water flow, and subjects your household to foul tastes and potential health risks. Left untreated, it can lead to costly repairs, lower home water quality, and constant frustration for every tap in your residence.
The system that fixes it
The C-Series Iron Bacteria & Slime System is engineered specifically to eradicate iron bacteria and their persistent slime from your water supply. At the heart of this system lies the C-Series air-injection control valve, a genuine, serviceable brand valve designed to inject air precisely into the water flow, promoting oxidation and disrupting bacterial growth. This valve's reliability and maintainability ensure consistent, long-term performance, unlike generic or non-serviceable valves that can fail and leave you vulnerable.
The system’s tank is built as an air-injection oxidizing tank, crafted to complement the valve’s function by creating the ideal environment for iron bacteria oxidation. Inside the tank sits a specialized catalytic oxidizing media that chemically converts dissolved iron into solid particles, which are then trapped and filtered out. Moreover, this media is compatible with chlorination, allowing additional disinfection if required, effectively breaking the cycle of slime buildup and bacterial proliferation that typical filters can’t handle.

How the media works
The heart of this system’s effectiveness lies in the catalytic oxidizing media inside the tank. This media actively converts dissolved iron— the food source for iron bacteria— into solid particles through oxidation. These particles are then filtered out of your water, depriving bacteria of what they need to thrive. Because this media is compatible with chlorination, it can work in tandem with disinfectants to chemically break down bacterial slime, preventing it from ever forming again. In simple terms, the media stops slime at its source and filters it away, keeping your water clear, clean, and healthy.

Common questions
Q? How does the air-injection valve actually fight iron bacteria slime?
A The valve injects air into the water stream, which oxidizes dissolved iron. This process converts iron into particles that the catalytic media can trap, effectively removing the bacteria's food source and disrupting slime formation.
Q? Can this system handle homes with multiple bathrooms and high water use?
A Yes. With three sizes ranging from 1 to 6 bathrooms, the system offers sufficient media capacity to treat water effectively in homes of various sizes, ensuring iron bacteria and slime are controlled regardless of water demand.
Q? Why is chlorination compatibility important in this system?
A Chlorination compatibility allows the media to work alongside disinfectants to break down residual bacteria and slime, providing enhanced protection that prevents slime from recurring and keeps your water safe and clean.
