swtwater.com ProSelect™ Tannin
ProSelect™ Tannin (P/N ER20001) is the choice for color, organics, and tannin contaminated waters. It works as an organic screen, either as a stand-alone prefilter for a softener, or in some applications as a media which is simply added to an existing softener. ProSelect Tannin will sit on top of the existing softening bed to protect it and remove organic (heme) iron as well. ProSelect Tannin is iron resistant, regenerates with salt, and is the resin of choice for heme iron applications.
 
 
APPLICATIONS:
Remove Naturally Occurring Organics
Remove Tannin
Remove Organic Color
 
 
ER20001 Pressure Drop Graph
 
PRESSURE DROP — The graph above shows the expected pressure loss per foot of bed depth as a function of flow rate at various temperatures.
 
 
ER20001 Backwash Graph
 
BACKWASH — After each cycle the resin bed should be backwashed at a rate that expands the bed 25 to 50 percent. The graph above shows the expansion characteristics as a function of flow rate at various temperatures.
