Birm®: The Ultimate Solution for Iron & Manganese Removal
Birm® is a highly efficient and cost-effective filtration media designed to remove dissolved iron and manganese from water supplies. Whether you are dealing with unpleasant water discoloration, metallic taste, or damage to plumbing fixtures, Birm® provides a reliable and sustainable solution.
Why Choose Birm®?
Key Benefits
Exceptional Filtration Efficiency: Enhances oxidation of iron and manganese, delivering crystal-clear water.
Cost-Effective: No need for chemical regeneration, reducing operational costs.
Eco-Friendly: Operates without chemicals, ensuring sustainability.
Low Maintenance: Requires only periodic backwashing.
Versatile Application: Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial systems.
Lightweight Design: Easier installation and efficient performance.
How Does Birm® Work?
Birm® acts as an insoluble catalyst to enhance the reaction between dissolved oxygen and soluble iron or manganese compounds. This process precipitates contaminants into easily filtered particles, ensuring clean, safe water.
Limitations of Birm®
To achieve optimal results, ensure the following:
Water pH is at least 6.8 for iron removal and between 8.0–9.0 for manganese removal.
Avoid water containing oil, hydrogen sulfide, or excessive organic matter.
Chlorination levels must remain minimal.
Note: Birm® works best when dissolved oxygen levels are sufficient and contaminants do not exceed recommended levels.
Applications
Residential well water systems
Municipal water treatment plants
Industrial water filtration

The system includes a Fleck 2510SXT AIO digital control valve, 1" stainless steel by-pass, 1.5 cu. ft. of Birm, one sleeve of gravel, funnel, and cap. Birm acts as an insoluble catalyst to enhance the reaction between dissolved oxygen and iron compounds, and periodic backwashing is required to clean the media.
It is designed for the reduction of dissolved iron and manganese from raw water supplies.
Is this product configurable?
Yes. This is a configurable product with size options.
Which control valve is included?
This system includes a Fleck 2510SXT AIO digital control valve.
What comes with the system?
It includes the control valve, a 1-inch stainless steel by-pass, 1.5 cu. ft. of Birm, one sleeve of gravel, a funnel, and a cap.
Does this system use chemicals?
No. The product description states AIO technology uses natural oxidation without chemicals.
What water conditions are required for Birm iron removal?
The water should have a pH of 6.8 or more, contain no oil or hydrogen sulfide, organic matter should not exceed 4-5 ppm, and dissolved oxygen should equal at least 15% of the iron content.
What if the influent water pH is below 6.8?
The description states neutralizing additives such as Clack Corosex, Calcite, or soda ash may be used before the Birm filter to raise pH.
How is the media maintained?
Periodic backwashing is required to clean the media and remove precipitant.
This configurable Birm AIO system should be set up based on the selected size and the stated water quality requirements.
Select the desired system size before installation.
Confirm the incoming water meets the stated conditions for Birm use, including pH of 6.8 or more, no oil or hydrogen sulfide, organic matter not exceeding 4-5 ppm, and dissolved oxygen at least 15% of the iron content.
Install the Fleck 2510SXT AIO digital control valve and the included 1-inch stainless steel by-pass as part of the system assembly.
Load the system with the included sleeve of gravel and 1.5 cu. ft. of Birm using the supplied funnel and cap.
Place the system into service and perform backwashing as required to clean the media and remove precipitant.
