Hello! I am looking at a Filox (or even a MangOx) iron & manganese filter but might have to undersize for my peak service flow rates in order to have enough for the maximum (warm water) backwash rate...here is what I was wondering:
When you undersize, do you get the undersized % of total rated removal, or does it just remove that % of contaminates at lower flow rates?
For example, Filox is rated to remove 15ppm iron, 7ppm Hydrogen Sulfide, and 3.0ppm Manganese at 6.0GPM cu/ft. So, if I had a 1 cu ft system, and .5ppm Manganese at a 9GPM service flow (making the system 33% undersized at that moment), would it, in theory, remove all of it at that moment (up to almost 2ppm Manganese or 66% of its total rating), or, would it just remove 66% of my .5ppm manganese, leaving about .167ppm in the water?
Thank you! Also, do you guys have any preferences on Filox vs. MangOx (also known as Catalox). I don't have the backwash rates to support Pyrolox, and see some rating differences in Filox and MangOx (backwash and weight seems to be lower in Filox, MangOx has slightly higher ppm ratings on Manganese but lower on Hydrogen Sulfide, and seems to be a little bit more pure). Also, there's the different screen sizes. Does any of that matter or is MangOX basically just a slightly more pure (but heavier to backwash) version of Filox?
