Iron Filters

What is an iron filter used for?

An iron filter is a device that removes iron and manganese from water down to a concentration of 0.75 mg/L. 

It works with materials such as manganese dioxide, also called pyrolusite, which causes strong oxidation of the iron, turning it into iron hydroxide that then precipitates and remains trapped in the filter bed. These precipitates are removed when the filter bed is backwashed. This type of material has a very long service life and requires no regeneration with any chemical product.

Thanks to special ECOMIX resins, our Clack and Clack premium water softeners also filter iron, manganese, ammonium, and organic molecules in addition to limescale.

The benefits of an iron filter 

The use of an iron filter  offers many benefits. It improves water quality by providing clear, healthy water for all your needs. It also extends the life of household appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers. Pipes and faucets are also protected from corrosion, which extends their life. Finally, the iron filter  is also an economical and ecological choice, as it reduces water consumption by reducing cleaning needs.

How does an iron filter work?

The iron filter  works by using a resin bed to remove iron ions from the water. Hard water containing iron ions passes through the resin bed. The iron ions are then replaced by sodium ions. The resin is regularly regenerated with salt to maintain its effectiveness.
