Recently added a small shot of peroxide to my other water treatment. Plumbed it in before my sediment filter which is before air injection and softener.

I used to have to change a sediment filter every week and they were black. Took one out today after three weeks and it's still white.

Does this make any sense?

Hydrogen Peroxide is commonly used for bleaching hair. Depending on what is accumulating on the filter cartridge, perhaps it is being bleached white by the peroxide. Just because the cartridge is remaining white does not necessarily mean there is no longer an accumulation.

What is the air injection system being used for?

Innovative. Unlikely, I think.

Black usually indicates the presence of manganese. H2O2 is good at oxidizing manganese. can you post pics of your system. what are you using for air injection?
