Eliminate red and black staining, as well as metallic tastes & rotten egg or rotten vegetation odors with the Air Injection System for Iron, Sulfur, & Manganese!

Iron is a common problem in homes today. It causes red staining on fixtures, as well as turning clothes and sometimes even your hair a reddish orange color. Iron bacteria is sometimes 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. Manganese is most often seen as a black slimy substance that builds in standing water, and may impart a metallic taste to the water.

All of these problems can be eliminated with our Air Injection System. Using the principle of oxidation, the system forces the contaminates into contact with oxygen. This causes them to oxidize into a larger form which is then trapped by the Filox Click for specifications on the Filox media in the tank. The Air Injection systems come with a Fleck 2510SXT Click for specs on the Fleck 2510 heads control head that automatically backwashes the system to clean the media and flush everything down the drain. Made by Fleck, the #1 manufacturer of control heads in the US, the digital control head allows for easy user interaction, automatic backwashing, & a professional look.

Most air injection systems consist of either two separate tanks or by using a Venturi valve to inject air into the water. The problem with a 2-tank design (besides taking up space) is that the plumbing between the tanks and the control head on the second tank is subjected to the oxidized contaminates, causing them to wear more rapidly and resulting in higher maintenance costs. The problem with the Venturi valve setup is similar (the oxidized contaminates wearing down the plumbing and control head) with the additional problem of clogged valves that constantly have to be cleaned and/or replaced. By utilizing a patented piston, our Air Injection system is able to put the whole oxidation process inside one tank, keeping maintenance costs and down time to a minimum. This is done by creating a bubble of pressurized air at the top of the tank (done during the backwash cycle). The air in the tank then oxidized the contaminates, with the Filox media trapping them. Then every few days the system automatically backwashes itself, rinsing the contaminates off the media and replenishing the air bubble.

This system is chemical free, and is able to remove higher contaminate levels than most other tank systems on the market, including the chemical based Greensand System and the popular Pyrolox system. By using high quality Filox media combined with oxidation, you can say goodbye to your iron, sulfur and manganese problems without worrying about dangerous chemicals, space hogging systems, or time consuming maintenance schedules!
