Katalox Light Filter Media - Iron removal Katalox Light is the perfect replacement media for Pyrolox, Filox, and other Manganese Dioxide Media. A whole bag is considered 66lbs per CuFt, we offer half bags as well. We use it in our Fleck 2510 Air Injection Iron Removal Systems. Katalox Light Filter Media removes Arsenic, Iron, Manganese, H2S and other metals without potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or chlorine.
This media is based on Zeosorb (a high purity natural Aluminosilicate microcrystalline mineral) with a special process impregnated and then coated with manganese dioxide (MnO2) that can filter particles as small as 2-3 microns. The coating acts as a protective agent for the impregnated substance.
The granules have an angular shape, rough, high micro-porous surface to filter water down to 2-3 microns. The rough surface and very high porosity provide a huge surface area for efficient reduction of dirt, silt, and suspended solids. Its structure features less pressure loss, high service and flow rates and high bed loading combined with lower back wash frequency.
This media can be operated at the flow rate of 12 gmp/sq. ft (30 m/h) with a single pressure vessel with and it requires only 5 - 10 minutes backwash time with the flow rate of 5.5 gpm/sq. ft (13m/h).
