I currently have a galvanized pressure tank with micronizer, plus an older iron filter. Looking to 1) reduce the total noise of the system (micronizer seems to make a lot of noise when pump is running) 2) extend pump cycle and 3) proactively replace old equipment.
The galvanized tank does not have a shrader valve and so cannot be pre-charged. I think that's part of the problem with short cycling.
I am thinking of installing a Amtrol WX-251 which with my 7.5GPM pump, and new 40/60 switch, should give me a 2 minute cycle time.
I am then considering a Pro-Ox iron filter from Clean Water Store. They tell me I probably won't need air injector, but could add that later. I'd love to avoid this, as noise reduction is a priority. 2014 iron was .99 mg/L, manganese was 0.045. Recently, iron came back 0.18, manganese .04. PH was 7.5.
I have seen mixed reviews on the Pro-Ox and so wanted to see what better options may be out there. I've read quite a bit about katalox light, although it seems like needs additional oxidation, and may be unproven. I'm just not sure. Open to any and all information. Thank you!
