Recently, a reader reached out with a follow-up question: Can alum injection and a Pro-OX iron filter effectively treat water turbidity? The answer is yes, you can certainly treat cloudy water by injecting alum and filtering with a Pro-OX filter. … Continue reading Using Alum and Pro-OX Filter Media to Treat Turbidity
Yesterday, we talked a little bit about neutralizing water without a calcite neutralizer. However, for best results, we recommend using a standalone calcite neutralizer tank. Today, one customer wrote to us to ask about the potential drawbacks of using a calcite neutralizer, and we wanted to share our answer with readers who might be considering … Continue reading What Are the Potential Problems with Using a Calcite Only Acid Neutralizer?
For a Birm or Pro-OX iron filter to work properly, there must be enough dissolved oxygen present in the water to help assist the filter media to oxidize iron and manganese particles for filtration. A good way to achieve oxidation without having to install an open atmospheric pressure storage tank and additional booster pump is to … Continue reading What is the Difference between Air Charger Iron Filters and Maxi-Vent Air Compressor System Iron Filters?

Saltwater infiltration is common for wells near oceans or coastal rivers. While not the most harmful contamination, brackish water often tastes salty and causes scale buildup in fixtures and appliances due to high sodium, metals, and total dissolved solids (TDS). Brackish water has salt levels between 1,000 and 10,000 PPM, compared to 30,000–40,000 PPM … Continue reading Brackish Water Treatment
One customer recently reported that his Greensand filter media was not lasting as long as it should and required a lot of potassium permanganate to keep up regular operation. He also mentioned experiencing acidic water along with iron and odors. These problems are connected. Local water conditions, such as hard water, acidic water, and high … Continue reading Get More Life Out of Filter Media With Proper Pre-Treatment
Have you ever noticed metallic smells in your water? Buildup on faucets and fixtures? Or worse—felt sick after drinking your tap water? We hope the answer to all three is “no.” But if not, your water may be contaminated with iron, manganese, or, even more concerning, iron or coliform bacteria. Iron bacteria thrive in oxygen-deprived … Continue reading Treating Iron, Manganese, and Coliform Bacteria in Well Water
