Filter Ag is an efficient filter medium for removing suspended material and turbidity. Its light weight and irregular surface characteristics allow for finer filtration and reduced pressure loss. Filter Ag granules maximize the removal of suspended matter throughout the filter bed. It can be used in systems designed for either pressure or gravity flow. Filter Ag offers significant savings as equipment can be smaller, requiring less space. It typically removes suspended solids down to the 20-40 micron range.
Birm
Birm provides an efficient and economical method for removing dissolved iron and manganese from raw water supplies. It enhances the reaction between dissolved oxygen and iron compounds and is easily cleaned by backwashing. Birm is not consumed during iron removal, offering a significant economic advantage. It is also dependable for manganese removal, given the water has a pH of 8.0 to 9.0.
Calcite
Calcite slowly dissolves calcium carbonate media to raise pH levels, reducing the potential leaching of metals like copper and lead. Periodic backwashing prevents packing and maintains high service rates. As Calcite neutralizes water, it increases hardness, and a softener may be needed after the neutralizing filter.
Corosex
Corosex, mixed with Calcite, treats waters with low pH levels. It corrects red water conditions by neutralizing free carbon dioxide. As a reactive magnesium oxide, Corosex is effective for substantial pH correction and high flow conditions. It must be replenished periodically, especially under low flow conditions where it may create a basic condition.
Performance and Maintenance
The Aqua Blend/Multi Blend media should be replaced every 12 months to ensure optimal performance.
