The Eliminator III Iron Filtration System

Principles of Operation

The Eliminator III Series Filter is designed to remove iron through the combined processes of oxidation and filtration.

During the normal service/filtering cycle of the system, raw water enters the filter through the control valve and is brought into direct contact with a zone of compressed air contained within the top of the pressure vessel. The captive air within the system saturates the feed water with oxygen. Next, an insoluble granular media contained within the pressure vessel acts as a catalyst to enhance the oxidation reaction of iron compounds. This reaction causes these minerals to precipitate. The precipitated particles are then trapped by the granular media and prevented from moving downstream of the system.

The compressed air and media have a limited capacity for oxidizing and holding iron and. therefore, must be periodically cleaned and replenished through a backwash and air injection cycle. This cycle is initiated and completed by the control valve at a fixed interval.

Water Analysis

• Contaminants other than iron may limit the filter's ability to remove the iron and must be addressed before installling the Eliminator III

  • Iron Bacteria: Must be treated with chlorination and a carbon filter. Chlorine will damage the filter material in the FE-series Tank.

  • Tannins: If present in the water supply will not allow the oxidation process to occur.

  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): If the water tests above 700 TDS, please consult factory before installing the Eliminator III

A complete water analysis should be done before any equipment is purchased.
