These convert dissolved iron (ferrous) into solid particles and then trap them on the media. Great for iron, manganese, and sulfur removal and often don’t use chemicals. It also contains special mineral media that adsorb or catalyze reactions to trap iron, manganese, and other heavy metals. Requires frequent backwashing.
Bacteria Removal
UV (ultraviolet) light kills microorganisms by damaging their DNA and RNA.
- UV light works as a type of electromagnetic radiation.
- When bacteria, viruses, or protozoa pass through the UV light chamber, the light penetrates their cell walls and scrambles their genetic material.
- This prevents them from reproducing. Even if they’re still present in the water, they can’t multiply and cause infection.
