FILOX R MEDIA

Iron, Manganese & Hydrogen Sulphide Removal

Filox-R media works by catalytic oxidation. Its excellent catalytic properties mean that it can often be used without any additional oxidation depending on the presence of dissolved oxygen in the water. However, even with enough dissolved oxygen present in the water (higher than -170 milivolts) it is recommended to use additional oxidising agents (such as oxygen, ozone, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide or potassium permanganate) for improved performance.

Feedwater Requirements
Filox-R requires a pH of 7 or more for iron removal and a pH of 8 or more for manganese removal. The media gives a high flow rate and out lasts Birm – but it is heavy and requires a high backwashing flow rate to remove oxidised iron and manganese. The use of oxidising agents is recommended, highly reducing waters may cause premature exhaustion. Below is a summary of the feed water requirements for Filox-R media.

For Iron Removal: Iron content <15 ppm, Oxygen 15% of Iron & Manganese content
For Manganese Removal: Manganese content <3 ppm, Oxygen 15% of Iron & Manganese content
For Hydrogen Sulphide Removal: Hydrogen Sulphide content: <7 ppm

Why Choose Filox-R Media?

  • Superior particle strength that holds up with frequent backwashing
  • Can be used without additional oxidation in some applications
  • High manganese dioxide content (75-85%)
  • Up to 7,500x longer lifespan than Birm
  • Tolerant to chlorine exposure

ORP over -170mV indicates Filox-R can be used

Very pleased with the service. There was an issue with the water softener I ordered initially, but then following communications made the replacement process quite pleasant. Happily recommend this company. Thanks to Becky for working with me. Great follow up support 😊😊😊

First time using this company and product and i wasnt dissappointed. Communication was easy and quick resulted in an easy order and now having fitted the filter i can say its a great product easy to install and appears good quality apart from the four mild steel bracket screws stainless would have been better considering the environment these are fitted. All in all, very pleased and would highly recommend .

Excellent local company and genuinely lovely people to deal with. Really helpful and knowledgeable, with great advice about my water softener and the correct salt to use. They even gave me some resin cleaner at no charge, which was a very kind gesture. Fantastic friendly service and I’ll definitely be returning for my salt in future. Highly recommended.

Excellent service. Product proved my softener was not working as it should. I fully serviced it and cleaned with Resin Clean returned to service and it is now working as designed. Very pleased.

If you're thinking about a water softener then i HIGHLY recommend Ultra Soft Water Softeners Ltd. Great softeners and exceptional customer service. The water softener I bought needed some adjustments with the installation setup where I supported throughout. The customer service is honestly next level. I had countless calls with Becky Gillett, the Sales Manager, over a period of months to get to the bottom of it. She was incredibly patient with me, staying on the phone and doing video calls to walk me through the programming instructions step-by-step while I changed the settings and ensured all was installed correctly. All the staff here have been great, but Becky really stuck with me from start to finish to make sure it was sorted and working well. It runs like a dream now. HIGHLY recommend them!

Easy to order, quick delivery, good communication. Resclean worked a treat; one treatment cycle and soft water is back again from our 12 yr old softener!
