manganese

Hello, I have a new residential water system with a well pump. 15 gallons per minute, 220V pump, 175' deep, Pressure tank 70psi. See test results below. Our local water system company suggested a 10x54 1.5 CF Greensand filter, three bags 44lb of Greensand Plus with a gravel bed. The filter was...

I have a minor iron / Manganese problem but no smell or taste issues. Recent water test: 142 mg/l (ppm) hardness Iron .071 mg/L Manganese .095 mg/L I’ve purchased a Pro-Aqua filter...

Hello friends! Complete idiot here, and believe me I’ve tried everything before I reached out here. Basically I have hard water that is unresolved. My landlord is extremely unhelpful, unfriendly, etc..I have what I believe is an air injection DUAL tank fleck 5600se. That’s what’s printed on the...

If I decide to go with a Katalox Lite iron-reduction system, I then must choose an ozone-generating unit. Not just AIO, but AIO3, owing to iron bacteria. I understand as follows, that: A) the UV variety have lower output but are less picky about low humidity; and also B) the electrical discharge...

Hello, My wife and I moved into a house 3 years ago with bad water. We invested in a higher end Kinnetico system thinking we should nip it in the bud, but our water never really improved to the point we wanted it to. This spring after much frustration with the company that sold us that...

I just got my lab results back and want to run it by the very knowledgeable and helpful crowd here. The overall goal of the treatment system is no staining, no odor, and drinkable for the entire family (I'm ok with the current setup but not everyone else is). Abbreviated lab results from...

Installed Clack ws1 on a 10x54 tank with 1.5cf katalox light to deal with 3.5mg/l iron & 0.4 manganese with no success. Pretty sure irb (discovered after setting up this system) is the fly in the ointment. Am considering chlorine regen but have questions: Wondering about not having enough...

Let me start by saying I've been scouring the web to try and figure out what to do for my water situation. Only finding bits and pieces that pertain to me I thought it best to just lay out my situation and see if I could get answers here. I am CLEARLY not a plumber so I'll lay out as much...

Hello again! Being on a well system I just can't seem to stay away from this forum. Thank you all so much for sharing your knowledge. I was wondering if I could tap you guys for some information on regenerating Manganese Dioxide medias with a regenerate (specifically H2O2 or Chlorine). For...

Got the tests back on the new well we drilled. It's pretty hard, 14 gpg, but that was expected. The only thing that jumps out at me is the manganese level is really high. 0.432 mg/L. Way above the recommended .05 mg/L. Would a katalox light system be the best way to go? Or are there other...
