Reduces iron and manganese from the water source
Katalox Light® is being used in numerous systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications worldwide, for high level filtration, color and odor removal, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide removal, efficient reduction of arsenic, zinc, copper, lead, radium, uranium and other radionuclides and heavy metals.
Application: This system should be employed where low to moderate ferrous (dissolved) iron or hydrogen sulfide contamination is known or expected (hydrogen sulfide produces a distinct rotten egg / sulfur odor). This filter is most effective where iron and hydrogen sulfide levels are less than 5 ppm. Best contaminant removal rates are achieved where the pH is between 6.5 and 8.5 and where the water contains some dissolved oxygen. This filter will also remove ferric iron through mechanical filtration, although a sediment filter may be a more cost effective choice.
