Designed for 1 bathrooms and 1-2 people and/or homes with flows matching system capacities
No potassium permanganate or any other chemicals are required for operation of the system, it simply backwashes with water.
Causes red/orange staining with levels as low as 0.3 ppm. Treats both ferrous (clear water or dissolved) and ferric (red water or oxidized) iron.
Can cause black slime buildup in toilet tanks and may impart a metallic taste to the water
Treats a maximum flow rate of 2.2 gallons per minute
Requires a minimum of 4.4 GPM available for backwashing
LCD display and touchpad controls provide easy to use interface, shorter backwash times, and reduced waste water
Durable, high quality polyglass tank made by a trusted name it tank manufacturing
Birm acts as an insoluble catalyst to enhance the reaction between dissolved oxygen and the iron compounds
Simple system connections and detailed installation instructions allow most homeowners to install this system themselves. For those who prefer to leave the work to a professional, most plumbers can install the system in 1-2 hours.
Product Description
Iron is a common problem in homes today. It causes red staining on fixtures, as well as turning clothes and sometimes even your hair a reddish orange color. Iron bacteria is sometimes present in water with iron, creating a slimy build up in standing water (such as your toilet tank) and can smell like rotting vegetation. Manganese is most often seen as a black slimy substance that builds in standing water, and may impart a metallic taste to the water. Hydrogen Sulfide is a rotten egg smell that can sometimes accompany iron and manganese contamination. If it is present in your water, a Birm system WILL NOT work to remove another system, such as the Filox system, should be used.
The Birm system provides mid-range contaminate removal with good service flow rates and reasonable backwash flow rates. Combined with chemical free performance and competitive pricing, the Birm system is a popular systems for treatment of iron and manganese.
Controlled by the digital Fleck 2510SXT control head, this system provides advanced controls in an easy to use LCD interface. The backwash process uses no chemicals, simply using the force of water to clean the media and flush the contaminates down the drain. By using a digital control less time and less water is used during the backwash process.

Service flow rate is the manufacturers recommendation for maximum contaminant removal at a constant flow. Intermittent flow rate and/or lower contaminant levels MAY allow higher treatment flow rates.
Backwash Flow Rates
The backwash flow rate is the minimum rate that MUST be available to ensure proper backwashing and adequate media life. While lower flows can be used and MAY provide adequate results, using less than the recommended flows WILL void the 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Warranties on the tank and control valve will remain unaffected.
