Iron / Manganese Removal

MediaWaveOnline offers a wide range of filter media designed to remove iron. Many can also be used to remove manganese and hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg odor), which are commonly found in waters containing iron. There is a growing industry trend away from chemically-regenerated iron filter systems using media like manganese greensand and MTM towards more powerful catalyst media and “AIO” or “captive air charge” systems, especially for residential iron removal. Our top selling iron removal media are Filox and Katalyst Light (formerly known as Katalox Light). While Filox is heavy, it is very powerful, so you can often use less of it for an equivalent job. Katalyst Light, being very light as its name suggests, has become a preferred replacement for Birm media in many applications. If you would like assistance selecting the best media for your application, please feel free to contact one of our water treatment technicians.
