katalox

Hello, I have been searching for an answer to my problem: I am on well water and i switched from a chlorine injection system with a 120gallon holding tank and a 1.5cuft carbon filter, and a softener to…. a Katalox 1.5cuft media in a 12x52 tank with Ozone, to the carbon filter then softener. I...

I'm having an odd issue with my relatively new Katalox AIO filter. The filter does not have any water pressure when in service. When I flip from 'bypass' to 'service' the water pressure immediately plummets to zero. However, when I trigger the backwash cycle all 3 stages work and release water...

I have a well water system with H2O2 injection and a 12” KL filter with Clack WS1 valve. I believe we have some IRB because the toilet tanks got orange slime when there was no iron filter. The current issue is that the iron after the KL is all over the place. Sometimes the water out of the KL...

I recently installed a 1.5 cf katalox system with a Fleck 5600sxt set up for air regen. It seems to be working fine, but I'm a little concerned about all the tiny air bubbles blocking light through the UV sterilizer. If I wanted to switch to H2O2 regen, is it as simple as removing the air screen...

I've read not to use gravel in my iron filter with Katalox in a Vortech tank, but the one I ordered came with garnet gravel. I haven't added the media yet, so I can go either way, but really want to know what's best.

Installed Clack ws1 on a 10x54 tank with 1.5cf katalox light to deal with 3.5mg/l iron & 0.4 manganese with no success. Pretty sure irb (discovered after setting up this system) is the fly in the ointment. Am considering chlorine regen but have questions: Wondering about not having enough...

Hello, I would really appreciate some advice. I have two houses that need treatment, my home and a single-family rental. The water chemistry is different, but both have some iron and manganese; both have soft, alkaline water; and both have taste and odor issues (I'm assuming hydrogen sulfide.)...

I'll try to make this succinct, I have read so many posts here and other locations about similar issues but am hoping for specific advice. Moved in to rural property that had a Kenetico single tank "media" filter and dual tank "softener" installed, no information on them since it was a...

Hi All, I am a new homeowner with a well, move in date is in three weeks. An inspection of the equipment revealed that the softener is severely restricting flow to the home. While the softener is inline the faucets had very low pressure, and when bypassed the pressure was more than...

Hello again! Being on a well system I just can't seem to stay away from this forum. Thank you all so much for sharing your knowledge. I was wondering if I could tap you guys for some information on regenerating Manganese Dioxide medias with a regenerate (specifically H2O2 or Chlorine). For...

I have a property in Scotland which has a water supply from a borehole with around 9ppm Iron and 0.3ppm Mn and a pH of 5.9. I have recently installed a Katalox Light system and this has sorted the Iron and Manganese problem but the pH has rocketed to 9.8 which is above the UK legal limit for...

Hello, I am helping redesign a relative's water treatment system. I'd appreciate your comments and suggestions. Right now they have a cartridge sediment filter and water softener (Eco); both are 20 years old. The softener uses a time clock for regeneration, doesn't soften down to zero anymore...

Well, I thought it was interesting anyway... This may come as no surprise to you folks with lots of experience, but I figured I'd post it anyway as a breadcrumb trail for any other DIY'ers like myself: So after 12 years of living with lousy water, we finally decided to shell out some money and...
