Chemical-Free Iron Removal Systems for 12 to 50 ppm iron.

The Rust-Erase iron filter system is designed to effectively eliminate rust from your water supply economically and thoroughly. No more unsightly rust stains in the toilet, tub and sink, the laundry will be cleaner, too! The Rust-Erase Iron Filter works automatically. Every drop of water coming through the line is filtered to remove rust and other particles. The pre-set timer periodically activates the back-wash mechanism which keeps the filter medium fresh and effective for many years. Media is good for approximately 3-5 years or more depending on water conditions.

Effects of iron and manganese in water - When exposed to air, dissolved iron or manganese reacts with oxygen and is converted by oxidation to a colored, solid material that settles out of the water. Iron changes to white, then yellow and finally to a reddish-brown color. Manganese forms a black residue. High concentrations of these sediments cause reddish-brown or black stains on laundry and facility fixtures. Another result of iron and manganese in water is the presence
of harmless bacteria in soil, shallow groundwater supplies and some surface water that secrete large amounts of red-brown (iron) or black-brown (manganese) slime that stain toilet tanks.
