The Performax Iron Filter utilizes an air injection system to remove iron (ferrous or clear water), manganese and sulfur from the water via both oxidation and filtration. Unlike other iron filter alternatives, Performax technology is designed for use in a single tank and valve system configuration, reducing both acquisition and maintenance costs yet delivering years of trouble free service. No chemical additives or air compressors are required for operation or regeneration with the Performax advanced design.
How does the Performax work? During system regeneration, an air pocket is created when air is drawn in through an air injector located in the brine port. During service, untreated water passes through the air pocket oxidizing any iron, sulfur and manganese presented into physical particles. Those particles are ultimately trapped in the filter media bed. Once the air pocket is depleted and the particles are filtered out, the systems regeneration cycle refreshes the bed and replaces the oxygen head, allowing the process to begin again.
