2 x PFEX 10 SX Iron Remover - Iron Filter Cartridge

The PFEX filter cartridge not only reduces the iron concentration, but also the hydrogen sulfide content, significantly reducing metallic taste and unpleasant odors.

An iron water filter is used to remove iron and manganese from the water. These impurities can occur in some water supply systems and can cause various problems, such as discoloration of the water, deposits in pipes and appliances, as well as an unpleasant taste or odor in the water. The immediate consequence of too high an iron content in the water is the formation of rust stains on sanitary fixtures (bathtubs, sinks).

The filter cartridge is filled with a mixture of pyrolusite and quartz sand granules of different grain sizes. 

In this process, the divalent iron (Fe²⁺) dissolved in the water is oxidized to trivalent iron (Fe³⁺) and then safely bound in the filter medium. The PFEX filter specifically uses hydrogen sulfide as an oxidation aid for this purpose.

Reduction of:

- Iron usable up to a max. value of 4.0 mg/l
- Manganese usable up to a max. value of 0.1 mg/l
- Sulfite (up to 0.9 mg/l )
- Oxide (up to 4.0mg/l )
- Chloride (up to 4.8 mg/l)
- Silicates (up to 35.0 mg/l)

The iron filter helps normalize the pH value of the water.

- Iron ion treatment
- odor impairments and fine particles
- the filter also removes light oils
- Maximum temperature: up to 45 °C
- Service life: approx. 3 - 6 months (depending on water quality and flow rate - max. 4 mg/L FE² and 0.1 mg/l manganese)


!With iron filter cartridges, granulate dust may initially come out, caused by transport. Let the water run until it is clear. If necessary, install the following filters only afterward!

PLEASE NOTE THE MAXIMUM VALUES. IF NECESSARY, CARRY OUT A WATER ANALYSIS!
