KATALOX LIGHT MEDIA
Advanced Filtration Media
Made in Germany
Hi, this is Craig at Quality Water Treatment, also known as Craig the Water Guy. I hope you're doing good today. I'm called Craig the Water Guy because I love to fix water, give families healthy water, but I also love to play in water. So it's a fair fact, every time I wash dishes or wash my hands in the sink or anything like that, I always seem to get water everywhere. My wife's gone, ‘You got water all over the place. I said, Well, I'll create the water guy.’ So anyways, it's a side joke.
So on the Katalox here, the Katalox Media, the Katalox Light Media, it is used in our Katalox iron filter, which removes iron, manganese, and sulfur. It also raises the pH balance of the water as well. This media is just absolutely fantastic. I've been doing this for almost 40 years, and I've seen iron filtration and sulfur, manganese type media come out over the years, and I've tried most of them. Some of them are good, some of them not so good. Some of them handicap you where they have a lot of issues where the quality of the water has to be this and you can't have this, otherwise, it harms the media and so forth.
This media here, we've been using for quite a few years and we haven't had any problems with it at all. It's just a fantastic media, and it does a better job than any other iron, bag, and sulfur media I have ever been associated with in my career. So our iron filter system, our AIO, Air Injected Optimization System, uses this media. This media is going to last anywhere from 3 to 7 years, roughly. Of course, that all is determined on how bad your water is, for starters. How much water do you actually use is also a big part of the longevity of this media. Figure 3 to 7 years.
The way you're going to know that this media is starting to go bad is pressure loss. The system backwashes itself every four days, which is pretty typical for any iron filter type media. Let's say it backwashes and you have really good water pressure after the regeneration backwash process is completed, and a day later or two days later before the four days comes up for it to backwash again, you start losing pressure again. So that's usually a sign that that media is starting to solidify and get plugged up and it's time to replace it.
The other side is that everything mechanically is working on the system. It's doing everything it's supposed to do. It's back washing like it's supposed to. It's sucking air into the system like it's supposed to. But your water quality is still not where it was. You're still getting some sulfur odor now, or some iron bleed through, or some manganese bleed through. When that happens, then it's typically time to replace the media as well.
Replacing the media is not hard to do. We can walk you through that process if you need help. So when it comes time, visit our website at qualitywatertreatment.com and go ahead and add the Katalox Light Media to your cart and go ahead and complete your order process and we'll get it shipped out to you right away.

KATALOX LIGHT SPECS
Do NOT exchange pressure vessel media from one pressure vessel to
another. Reason for inadequate sanitation during the exchange of media. Wet
media will absorb nitrogen and oxygen in the air which will immediately
kick off the bacteria growth.
Biofouling on surface of media and other
contaminates are present during the exchange. Media is designed only for
Iron, Manganese, Hydrogen sulfide, and other heavy metals.
Media
containing biofouling cannot be reuse as it is harmful for drinking water.
Replacing new media is highly suggested.
Katalox-Light media is designed to remove Iron, Manganese, Hydrogen
Sulfide (Inorganics). Organics contaminants in water could lead to
deterioration of Katalox-Light media surface's and therefore ineffective for
removal of Iron, Manganese and Hydrogen Sulfide.
Katalox-Light® filters can be operated at the flow rate of 12 GPM/ SQFT (30 m/h) with a single pressure vessel.
This only requires 5 to 10 minutes of backwash time with the flow rate of 5.5 GPM/ SQFT (13 m/h).
