MetalEase is capable of removing high levels of iron, hydrogen sulfide,
and other metals such as lead and manganese. The media first brings the metals out of solution into
a solid form and then traps the particle in the MetalEase bed until the particle is flushed out of the
tank in the backwash cycle.
MetalEase is designed to be used in place of traditional forms of iron treatment and can be installed
on either well or municipal water supplies. It is the perfect companion to softeners, RO systems, and carbon filters.
MetalEase is capable of removing virtually unlimited amounts of the above contaminants, but tends to
work better in some geographic areas than others, depending on the levels of TDS or heme iron (organics) in
the local water supplies. If you have had success in the past with Greensand, Birm®, Pyrolox™, or
Filox-R™, then MetalEase will work for you using the same parameters. In addition, MetalEase
can also be pushed beyond the listed removal capabilities by adding such things as air injectors or extended
contact times, but not in all areas or on all waters. There is a bit of a learning curve, and some trial and
error may be required. But for those who have mastered the applications, this is a wonderful method of treatment
and a great way to give your customers good water without the messy chemicals.
