The AIO Chemical Free Iron filter is intended to be an effective and economical way to remove iron from water without the use of messy and dangerous chemicals or expensive pumps or an external venturi. The AIO valve uses a unique process to create an air bubble at the upper portion of the tank to oxidize any ferrous iron prior to being filtered by the media. It can also be used to remove low concentrations of dissolved hydrogen sulfide and manganese from water.
How does the AIO (Air Induction Oxidization) filter work?
This filter works by adding oxygen to the incoming water by passing it through a bubble of compressed air. The water is then passed through a special filter bed. The special media not only increases the pH of the water to enhance iron removal but also acts as a physical barrier to trap iron precipitate. As more water passes through this iron filter, the oxygen in the unit is used up, and the media gets loaded with iron. The regeneration process then begins in order to replenish the supply of oxygen, and to backwash the precipitated iron trapped in the media bed. The iron removal efficiency will be more effective with high pH water. The filter is fitted with an inlet check valve to prevent any air from flowing backwards out of the filter tank.
Remove Iron From Your Water
AIO systems are designed to remove iron and other contaminants from water, improving its quality and making it safer for consumption and various household uses. Here are the benefits of using different types of iron filtration media:
- Carbon Filtration
- Removes chlorine, Hydrogen sulfite gas (H2S), and other organic contaminants along with iron.
- Improves taste and odor of water.
- Reduces the risk of health issues associated with consuming chlorine and H2S.
- Enhances the lifespan of downstream filters by removing larger organic molecules.
- Birm Filtration
- Effectively removes iron and manganese from water without the need for chemical regeneration.
- Requires minimal maintenance and operates relatively cost-effectively.
- Does not require backwashing, reducing water usage.
- Calcite Filtration
- Raises the pH of acidic water, preventing corrosion of plumbing and fixtures.
- Helps in reducing iron by precipitating it out of the water.
- Increases the lifespan of appliances like water heaters and dishwashers by reducing the corrosive effects of acidic water.
- Turbidex Filtration
- Removes turbidity (suspended particles) from water, including iron particles, thus improving water clarity.
- Reduces staining and discoloration caused by suspended iron particles.
- Enhances the overall appearance of water, making it more aesthetically pleasing.
- Katalox Filtration
- Highly effective in removing iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic, and other contaminants.
- Provides a long-lasting filtration solution with minimal maintenance requirements.
- Performs well under a wide range of water conditions, including high flow rates and varying pH levels.
Overall, iron filtration systems utilizing these different media offer multiple benefits including improved water quality, protection of plumbing and appliances, reduction of staining, and ensuring the safety and health of individuals consuming the water. The choice of filtration media depends on the specific contaminants present in the water and the desired water quality outcomes.
