***DUE TO THE TECHNICAL NATURE OF THIS PRODUCT IT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ONLINE PURCHASE ***

The Redox media filter bed is made up of very fine alloy particles which have excellent mechanical filtration properties.  Particulate matter is trapped in the filter bed and many dissolved pollutants are converted by oxidation.  This filter offers a very versatile media for pollutant removal and is very durable.  The bed is also resistant to microbiological contamination.  Maintenance is simple, the filter requires backwashing every 12-14 days, the filter media lasts 2-3 years.

Backwash - there is a choice of manual or automatic backwash.  Refer to PDF brochure for details.

What is Redox oxidation?  This is the removal of dissolved gases and heavy metals from water by the means of an electrochemical reaction produced by the redox alloy of copper and zinc.

• Dechlorination
  99% of chlorine in water is removed by oxidation reduction, a process in which chlorine gas is electrochemically reduced into water soluble ions.
• Removal of dissolved heavy metals
  Redox media removes up to 98% of water soluble cations of harmful contaminates like lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, cadmium, arsenic, antimony, cobalt and most other dissolved heavy metals (see table overleaf).  Soluble metals are reduced into insoluble metal ions and metallic contaminants are bonded to the redox alloy.
• Controlling micro-organisms by three measures
  1) The disruption of electron transport causes a cascade of cellular damage.
  2) Direct electrochemical contact.
  3) The formation of hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide interferes with a micro-organism's ability to function.
• Prevents accumulation of hard scale  (primarily calcium carbonate)
  The redox alloy media alters the morphology of the insoluble calcium magnesium carbonate and the sulfate crystals found in water in small evenly-shaped rounded grains.  These form a powdery compound that will not adhere to metallic surfaces and can be easily removed by filtration.
• Removal of iron
  The Redox filter media combines the dissolved oxygen and soluble ferrous iron, forming insoluble ferric hydroxide and ferric oxide, which is then catalytically removed.
