Are
you fighting Iron Stains & Rotten Egg/Sulfur Odor?
Iron staining is a common
problem in homes today. Iron staining on fixtures, as well as dingy clothes and
sometimes even hair will turn a reddish orange color. Iron bacteria may be
present in water with iron, creating a slimy build up in standing water (such as
your toilet tank) and can smell like rotting vegetation. Sulfur is easily
detected by the presence of a “rotten egg” odor, and is sometimes associated
with yellow staining.
All of these problems can be eliminated with
the AIO Air Injection Oxidation Filtration System.
The AIO maintains an 'air pocket' in the top of the
tank while the system is in service. As the water passes thru the air pocket,
iron and sulfur are oxidized. Additionally, dissolved oxygen is added to the
water. The AIO filter media bed then removes the iron and sulfur from the
water.
The AIO can remove up to 8 ppm Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and
more than 7 ppm of clear Iron. A softener is recommended after the AIO to remove
additional minerals from the water. Backwashing every 3 days will remove accumulated
iron and replenish the filter media bed, this backwash process is made more
efficient when a Vortech tank is used. The regeneration / backwash process also
adds a fresh air pocket to the system. The AIO system comes equipped with a
Fleck 2510 SXT air injection control head that automatically backwashes the
system to clean the media and flush everything down the drain. By
utilizing a patented piston in the control valve, the AIO is able to put the
whole oxidation process inside one tank, keeping maintenance costs and down time
to a minimum.
These systems also help reduce Iron stains caused by lawn irrigation systems.
