used to re-bed Iron Rival iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide filters with Iron Rival Light media
Iron Rival Light media should be used to re-bed Iron Rival filter systems that previously used Iron Rival Light media. It can also be used as a direct substitute for Katalox Light®.
Iron Rival Light combines the versatility and high performance characteristics of Filox™ media with the light weight properties of Birm®, resulting in a economical treatment option for high levels of iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide that is easy to backwash. This results in substantial water savings making Iron Rival Light® an ideal option for wells with low water yield.
Like most iron removal medias, Iron Rival Light acts as an insoluble catalyst to enhance the reaction between dissolved oxygen and the iron compounds to form ferric hydroxide which is then removed through mechanical filtration in the media bed. As a catalyst, Iron Rival Light is not consumed in the iron removal process and it does not need to be regenerated. Also like most other iron removal media, the active ingredient in Iron rival Light is manganese dioxide. It is composed of a manganese dioxide coated natural zeolite, containing roughly 10% manganese dioxide, far higher than Birm® but less than Filox™.
- concurrent treatment of iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg odor)
- low back wash flow rate
- longer life and much more active ingredient than Birm®
- excellent filtration capabilities (down to as low as 3 microns under ideal conditions)
- regeneration generally not required
- potable water safe
- high tolerance of oxidizers such as chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, and potassium permanganate (which can be used to boost performance in extreme treatment cases)
- removal of arsenic and certain heavy metals possible through co-precipitation (see below)
