CRYSTAL RIGHT MEDIA
Iron, Manganese & Hardness
Crystal Right Media is a synthetic Zeolite manufactured in the USA to treat non-oxidised iron and manganese in water from private supplies. The media can be sanitised using chlorine to prevent the potential build-up of bacterial iron (where identified in a water analysis). Compared with other iron and manganese treatment media Crystal Right CR100 is relatively light, meaning its backwash flow rate is lower than the service flow rate.

How Often Do I Need To Replace Crystal Right Media?
When used appropriately the media has a lifetime 20+ years, with some systems running in excess of 35 years with the original media. To ensure the media is backwashed correctly ensure the brine tank is kept topped up with salt at all times.
