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. Hydrogen Sulphide (mistakenly called sulfur quite frequently) is easily detected by the presence of a "rotten egg" odor, and is sometimes associated with yellow staining. Manganese is most often seen as a black slimy substance that builds in standing water, and may impart a metallic taste to the water.
The Filox* system provides high contaminant removal with excellent service flow rates and reasonable backwash flow rates. Combined with chemical free performance and competitive pricing, the Filox* system is one of the most popular systems for treatment of iron, hydrogen sulfide, and manganese.
Topped with the Fleck 2850 control head with a 1.5" brass valve that automatically backwashes to keep the media clean and performing. The backwash process uses no chemicals, simply using the force of water to clean the media and flush the contaminants down the drain. Made by Fleck, the #1 manufacturer of control heads in the US, the 12-day timer allows for a wide range of setting options.
