    Iron Filter Choice

    hello, i discovered that with MangOx, it is claimed to be 80% manganese dioxide as the medium. it requires ***an above negative 170 ORP*** reading to be effective. i have too low of a reading, and a work around is to use aeration, contact tank, chlorine ahead of the iron filter and or a host of...

    1 cu.ft twins or 2.0 cu.ft single

    at 47 grains of hardness, reaching 5 days is not possible, even with minimal water consumption. add to that almost 2 ppm iron, and .26 ppm manganese. honestly, 24/7 softwater is not a concern...i am only interested in minimizing how much hardwater is going to leak through either system and...

    1 cu.ft twins or 2.0 cu.ft single

    hello water solutions, i did some reading, and apparently half of the reserve set aside for a single tank normally becomes wasted capacity because a regen kicks in before it is actually exhausted. if this is true more water and regenerant is spent without getting any softened water from it...

    ok. thank you both...mialynette2003 and dittohead. the seller did say pretty much the same as you dittohead. speaking about the twin system vs. single, and how i really could not go wrong with either system, and the only reason he gave for nudging towards the twin was because of the irregular...

    1 cu.ft twins or 2.0 cu.ft single

    i've asked questions at the gardenweb forum about my water conditioning needs and have run out of my allotment of free advice. the most recent analysis of my well water reveals 47 gpg hardness. 1.4 ppm iron. .26 ppm manganese. pH 7.51. TDS 1200 ppm or greater. another lab put the TDS at 1600...
