Clack A8006 Fine Birm Technical Data
| Model Number | A8006 |
| Media Type | Fine Birm Granular Filter Media |
| Unit Weight | 47.5 lbs per cubic foot |
| Backwash Flow Rate | 8-10 GPM per square foot |
| Service Flow Rate | Up to 5 GPM per square foot (domestic) |
| Recommended Bed Depth | 24-30 inches (domestic installations) |
| pH Requirement | 6.5+ for iron, 8.0-9.0 for manganese |
| Dissolved Oxygen Required | Minimum 15% of iron/manganese content |
Setting Up Your Birm Filter System
- Install 8 inches or more of standard graded gravel as a supporting bed beneath the Birm media layer
- Add Fine Birm media to achieve a bed depth of 24-30 inches, ensuring 35-50% freeboard space above the media for backwash expansion
- Verify water conditions meet requirements: pH 6.5 or higher, dissolved oxygen at 15% of iron content, no hydrogen sulfide or oil present
- Backwash the system every 10-14 days at 8-10 GPM per square foot, or use an air wash injector if adequate flow is unavailable
Water Quality Requirements
Clack A8006 Fine Birm is designed for domestic water treatment systems with limited backwash capacity. The media requires specific water chemistry conditions to function effectively: no hydrogen sulfide, organic matter under 4-5 ppm, oil-free water, dissolved oxygen at least 15% of iron content, and pH above 6.5 for iron removal or 8.0-9.0 for manganese removal. Waters not meeting these requirements may need pre-treatment with aeration, Corosex neutralizing media, or chemical adjustment. Fine Birm is optimized for residential applications where backwash flow is restricted compared to the regular Birm grade (A8007). This product cannot be installed in California per regulatory restrictions.
