2.5″ x 10″ Refillable Inline Filter – Birm – for Iron and Manganese Reduction

Description

Refillable inline filter 2.5″ x 10″. Fits most standard 10″ Housing
Reduces iron and manganese from the water source

Application: This system should be employed where low to moderate ferrous (dissolved) iron or hydrogen sulfide contamination is known or expected (hydrogen sulfide produces a distinct rotten egg / sulfur odor). This filter is most effective where iron and hydrogen sulfide levels are less than 5 ppm. Best contaminant removal rates are achieved where the pH is between 6.5 and 8.5 and where the water contains some dissolved oxygen. This filter will also remove ferric iron through mechanical filtration, although a sediment filter may be a more cost effective choice.

The life of the filter cartridge depends on the contamination level (iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide levels) and amount of water consumed on a daily basis.

What types of contaminants are you dealing with?
Problem Likely Cause
rusty red or brown staining of fixtures or laundry and/or your water has a metallic taste excess iron
black staining of fixtures or laundry excess manganese
rotten egg smell from water Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
