Effects of Iron

Iron causes ugly yellow, orange or brown rust stains on your laundry, sinks, tubs and toilets. It can also give water an unpleasant taste and smell which lingers on laundry and spoils food and beverages. Manganese leaves ugly black stains on your bathroom and kitchen fixtures. Sulfur is identifiable by its distinctive "rotten egg" odour and it too causes staining as well as corrosion issues. Problems caused by iron, sulfur and manganese can occur individually or together.

How the Greensand Filter Operates

As the water passes through the filter bed, it comes in contact with oxygen-charged manganese greensand. This causes iron, manganese and sulfur to oxidize into particles which can be trapped in the filter bed. Eventually the manganese greensand loses its oxygen charge and regeneration is necessary. The filter bed is cleaned and then a measured quantity of potassium permanganate is drawn from the feeder through the filter bed, recharging it with oxygen. Two rapid rinses ready the bed to filter your water again.
