Alamo Brand (A8033) Filox for Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide and Manganese Removal 0.5 CF
Filox Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide & Manganese Removal Media
Three-Stage Catalytic Oxidation Process
Catalytic Oxidation
Contaminated water passes through the Filox media bed where dissolved iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide contact the manganese dioxide coating. The catalytic surface rapidly oxidizes ferrous iron to ferric iron, manganous manganese to manganic oxide, and hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulfur without added chemicals.
Particle Formation
Oxidized contaminants form insoluble particles that remain suspended in the water stream. Ferric hydroxide (rust), manganese oxide, and sulfur particles are physically trapped within the media bed's tortuous flow paths during service flow at up to 6 gallons per minute per cubic foot.
Periodic Regeneration
Accumulated particles are flushed from the media bed during automated backwash cycles at 12-15 gallons per minute per square foot. The media is regenerated using only raw water and dissolved oxygen, eliminating the need for potassium permanganate or chlorine regenerants.
3-5 year service life typicalSystem Requirements
This 0.5 cubic foot volume of Filox media is designed for 8-inch or 9-inch diameter mineral tanks with appropriate underbedding and freeboard. Requires a control valve capable of 12-15 GPM backwash flow rate and a minimum inlet pressure of 40 PSI. Compatible with Clack, Fleck, Autotrol, and other standard filter control valves. Effective on pH ranges from 6.5 to 9.0, with optimal performance above pH 7.0. Not suitable for systems with manganese levels exceeding 12 ppm or iron concentrations above 15 ppm without pre-oxidation. The A8033 media ships dry and must be properly bedded and rinsed before commissioning.
