I'm trying to decide which system to get for iron removal and came across this one. It uses an aluminosilicate-based media, and I didn't see anything about that type of system on here. Pros? Cons?

Here's the other one I'm considering, Pentair. It's like 3x the cost, but a traditional air-injection type. Which one should I go with?

Neither... that is an old Erie 2000 valve, looks like Pentair is repurposing it for AIO? Odd but sure. AIO can create a lot of problems, primarily iron bacterial issues. Adding an ozone generator is highly recommended. This way the system is partially sanitized daily during the regen process.

What is your preferred type of iron reduction system?
