Iron in water is a common issue for homeowners and businesses, especially those relying on well water. It causes staining, impacts taste, and can damage appliances and irrigation systems. Enter the I-Series Iron Removal Media Filtration System—a robust, efficient solution for removing iron and manganese from water sources.
Designed by Everfilt®, these systems leverage cutting-edge filtration technology to meet the demands of diverse applications. Here's everything you need to know about how the I-Series works and why it’s the top choice for tackling iron and manganese contamination.
How the I-Series Iron Removal System Works
The I-Series filtration system uses advanced filtration media—DMI-65® or Greensand Plus™—to effectively remove iron (up to 25 PPM) and manganese (to undetectable levels as low as 0.001 PPM). Both media types operate as catalytic agents, facilitating the oxidation and precipitation of dissolved contaminants, which are filtered out during backwashing cycles.
Key Features of the I-Series System
Filtration Media:
DMI-65®: Catalytic media requiring no regeneration, with a typical lifespan of 5–10 years.
Greensand Plus™: Proven effectiveness in removing iron and manganese.
304SS Stainless Steel Wedge Wire Underdrains:
Protects the system from clogging and ensures even water flow.
Robust Coatings:
3M-134 NSF-Approved Interior Coating.
Heavy-duty Fuze Exterior Coating with UV Resistance.
Large Side Access Manways:
Allows for easy maintenance and inspection.
Heavy-Duty Skids:
Equipped with D-rings for secure transportation and installation.
Custom Media Packs:
Tailored configurations to meet specific project requirements.
Performance Capabilities
The I-Series comes in various sizes, with capacities ranging from 25 GPM to 2000+ GPM. Designed for durability and efficiency, these systems are compatible with water flows at varying pressures and sizes. Customizable configurations can be adapted to increase performance or get dialed in where you need it.
Why Choose the I-Series Iron Removal Media Filter?
1. Exceptional Filtration Efficiency
Removes iron and manganese from source water.
Capable of reducing arsenic levels when associated with iron.
2. Low Maintenance Requirements
DMI-65® media doesn’t degrade from chemical reactions, ensuring consistent performance.
Automatic backwash ensures minimal operator intervention.
3. Flexibility & Customization
Multiple sizes and configurations make the system adaptable to diverse applications, including agriculture, irrigation, and industrial needs.
The Role of Chlorine in Iron Removal
For effective iron removal, a precise dose of chlorine is injected to oxidize dissolved iron. Once oxidized, iron particles are filtered out by the media. The recommended residual chlorine in effluent water is 0.1–0.3 PPM to maintain system integrity and filtration efficiency.
Chlorine Dosage Calculation
To calculate the correct chlorine dosage:
For a 50 GPM flow rate and 1 PPM iron concentration: Chlorine Injection Rate = 0.016 GPH.
Adjust based on your water’s iron concentration and flow rate for optimal results.
Paired with the Everfilt® CI-Series Chemical Injection Skids, chemical injection is made easy, and easy to monitor.
Benefits of Using DMI-65® Media
Durability: Operates efficiently for 5–10 years, depending on usage and maintenance.
No Regeneration Required: Unlike traditional media, DMI-65® does not decay.
Certified Quality: Tested and certified by the Water Quality Association under NSF/ANSI 61 standards.
Expert Guidance for System Optimization
