Hrmmm... I'm going to stop trying to find a way to invent a system or replace components and go with standard components. There's an entire industry and hundreds of manufacturers who have more ability, knowledge, and experience than me. I should probably go with what has been proven effective :) Saving $100 or so on a contact tank system isn't worth the headache of doing the R&D to find out if it works, while my family suffers the consequences of a malfunctioning system.

Sorry, somehow I posted a reply in this thread instead of the one I started relating to high pH. It wouldn't let me delete the post so I've had to delete the original wording instead.

Robert, not sure if you're still around or not, but I can tell you that chlorine (with or without a contact tank) and carbon won't be eliminating your Mn. I'm currently documenting my experiences of this here: https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/battles-with-manganese.59540/

Yes, I'm using H2O2, but it's a superior to chlorine [twice as effective] at oxidizing Fe and Mn, and I've never been able to make a dent in my Mn numbers (over raw). The only thing that appears to be a possible solution for my Mn issues is Katalox Light, though I am still trying to conclude whether it will work for me in production (other than Mn, which is low, my water is excellent- I just don't want to give up something in order to eliminate/reduce the Mn). KL test managed to reduce my Mn numbers below the magic threshold (0.05mg/L).
