Hello Mr. Leos,

Thanks for contacting us. Regarding your question for information:

How to Treat for Sulfur Odors, Iron, and Manganese Without Using Chlorine

I have high levels of sulfur odors, iron and manganese in my water. I don’t want to use chlorine, can I use aeration and the Pro-OX iron filter media to effectively treat my water? We have 3.0 PPM of iron, 0.1 PPM manganese, a pH of 7.4 and no tannins or iron bacteria according to our test results from a water testing company. This is just for my wife and I, two bathroom home.

Dear Mr. Jones,

Yes you can use a two-tank system to handle even extremely high amounts of strong odor and heavy iron. We can suggest the following Maxi-Vent air compressor system followed by a Pro-OX Iron Filter.
