How to Use Birm Iron Filters When the Well Water is Acidic

Question for you:

I have high iron. I put in a new system,along with the air injection tank as told by you with the air injection valve. I had emailed you a few weeks ago about still having an iron problem, you had told me to backwash more I have, I still have the same problem. my old system i didn't have this problem. I asked last time is there something more I should be adding to my mix tank?


Birm is very sensitive to low pH. A pH less than 7 degrades the Birm media, and can wear off the thin coating of manganese dioxide. At that point, it can filter out sediment, but will not remove dissolved iron from water.

How Do You Raise pH, Lower Hardness, and Remove Sediment and Sodium?

 
We recently had a water test and we want to treat the issues addressed by the results. We are looking for a solution to treat the low pH, Hardness, sediment and Sodium present in our artesian well water.



Hello Rob,

We can certainly offer solutions to those problems as shown in your water report. Please see below for full descriptions and links of each system, as well as an installation diagram:

What Does the WaterCheck With Pesticide Option Water Test Include?

Does the WaterCheck With Pesticide Option include a discussion with my results or at least information about what different levels mean? 

Thanks,

Yes, thanks for asking about this. Each test is reviewed by one of our WQA Certified Water Specialists. The test report itself will clearly show the level of each parameter and if it is over the recommended maximum contaminant level.
