Flow Rate Specifications

Service Flow Rate -The rate (in gallons per minute) at which the media can effectively treat your water. Service flow rates for Pyrolox are given in a range. The lower number is the manufacturers recommend rates, the higher number is actual rates that we have had successful treatment. Please note that most systems will allow a higher flow rate through them than the media can treat, so should your water demands exceed the systems capabilities some of the water will pass through untreated.NOTE: Higher contaminate levels are more effectively treated at lower flow rates. Thus, with higher contaminate levels you can expect lower treatable flow rates.

Backwash Flow Rate -The minimum rate (in gallons per minute)that needs to be available for proper backwashing of the system. Backwash flow rates for Pyrolox systems are given in a range. The higher number is the manufacturers recommend rate, the lower number is the rate that has been successfully used. This is not a constant rate, your water source just needs to be capable of supplying the shown rate for backwash.NOTE: Higher contaminate levels require higher flow rates for backwash. Thus, with higher contaminate levels it is recommended to have the manufacturers recommended backwash rates
