5600SETC Greensand Filter

Iron Filter - 1.0 Cu Ft Greensand with Fleck 5600SE(BW) Control Valve.

Details:
  • Manganese greensand filters pull iron and sulfur from water.
  • Greensand media requires a chemical called potassium permanganate.
  • Permanganate coats the greensand every time it backwashes.
  • Permanganate is a strong oxidizer to iron and sulfur. As the water runs through the greensand the permanganate oxidized the iron and sulfur so the greensand can remove it.

Manganese Greensand is formulated from a glauconite greensand which is capable of removing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide from water through oxidation and filtration. Manganese and soluble iron are oxidized and precipitated by contact with higher oxides of manganese on the greensand granules. The hydrogen sulfied is eliminated by oxidation to sulfate and an insoluble precipitate. When the manganese greensand bed is saturated, it is regenerated with a weak potassium permanganate solution which is rinsed down the drain.

Advantages:

  • Iron reduction over wide pH range
  • Effective reduction of hydrogen sulfide in addition to iron and/or manganese
  • No harmful effects from a chlorine feed
  • Low attrition for long bed life
  • Pot Perm Feeder
