HOW DOES IT WORK

Contact. Catch. Clean.

Dissolved iron and manganese touch the manganese oxide coating and turn into solid particles that stay in the filter bed. Every few days, the filter backwashes those particles to drain. Potassium permanganate restores the media during each backwash cycle.

The result is clean, clear, odor-free well water.

GreenSand Media (For Iron, Manganese and Sulfur Removal)

GreenSand Plus™

Greensand Plus™ is a purple-gray filter media used for removing soluble iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic, and radium from well water supplies.

The GreenSand filter media features a special coating of manganese oxide, which oxidizes iron and manganese within the water on contact. Potassium permanganate is required to regenerate and clean the GreenSand filter media so it can continue the oxidation procedure.

Attributes:

  • Manganese oxide coating — causes oxidation
  • Removes iron, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic, manganese, and radium

Approval:

ANSI/NSF 61 validated (by WQA)

Circumstances:

Water should be at 6.7 to 8.8 pH level

Upkeep:

Media lasts 4-8 years

How it works:

When water comes in contact with the GreenSand media, the media oxidizes and solidifies dissolved iron and manganese in the filter bed. The iron filter then backwashes these particles to drain every few days, cleaning and regenerating the filter media — potassium permanganate automatically cleans and restores the media throughout each backwash cycle.

What's Actually Causing Those Stains?

What's Actually Causing Those Stains?

Excessive iron typically shows up as ugly red or brown staining on plumbing fixtures, sinks, toilets, and laundry. With well water, iron usually starts in a ferrous state — meaning the water looks clear at the tap. Once exposed to air, it oxidizes into a ferric state, and that's when the red/brown "rust" material forms.

It doesn't take much — staining can start at concentrations as low as 0.3 mg/L. Depending on your exact concentration, a quality iron filter is the fix.

Not All Iron Filters Are Built The Same

Iron filter technology has been around for decades — they all do the basic job, but design and technology have improved dramatically. Right now, high-efficiency AIO technology stands out from the pack for tougher water conditions.

What You Need To Know Before You Buy

Your well pump flow rate determines the size of your water treatment equipment — it's easy and fast to check with a standard 5-gallon bucket.

Don't waste your time wandering around your local big box store trying to find someone to help you. You'll only find a pushy associate with limited knowledge, simply trying to move product from a limited inventory.
