AIO Katalox Media, Tank

The AIO Katalox Media and Tank delivers a Katalox filtration bed in its mineral vessel for air-injection removal of iron, manganese, and sulfur.

• Katalox filtration media charged into a mineral tank for use in an air-injection oxidation (AIO) system
• Catalytic media surface helps oxidize and filter iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide as water passes through the bed
• Works with the air pocket maintained by the AIO control valve above it, needing no feed chemicals
• Media and tank ship together as a matched set, ready to top with a control valve
• Heavier media charge gives a shipping weight near 108 lb
• Broad-spectrum bed handles iron, manganese, and sulfur in a single filtration stage

This component is intended for building or servicing a Connected Series AIO filter that relies on Katalox for broad-spectrum oxidation. Choose your tank size below and it is sized free to your water so the media volume matches your flow and contaminant load. It targets iron, manganese, and sulfur by oxidation and filtration and is not a softener; pair it with the appropriate air-injection control valve to complete the installation.

Why Katalox for iron and manganese

Katalox media carries a manganese-dioxide-style catalytic surface that is especially effective at oxidizing and trapping iron and manganese, the two metals most responsible for orange and black staining on fixtures and laundry. In an air-injection system it works with the oxygen pocket held above the bed, so it does the job without any chemical feed to mix or monitor.

Living with it

The bed is renewed on each backwash, which lifts and rinses away the accumulated oxidized metals, so day-to-day upkeep is minimal. We size the media volume to your iron and manganese levels and your service flow, ship the media and mineral tank together ready to charge, and stay available to help you set the backwash frequency that keeps the water clear.

Getting the most from the bed

Katalox performs best when the tank has enough freeboard for the media to expand and tumble during backwash, and when incoming pH sits in a range that supports oxidation. Where pH is low or iron is heavy, a small adjustment upstream can noticeably extend how long the bed stays effective between deep cleanings. We factor all of that into the sizing recommendation we give you.
