Cartridgebased filters are an economical option for low flow rates and low levels of iron and hydrogen sulfide when favorable water conditions exist Our backwashable Iron Rival Series filters are designed for more demanding appliions where heavier contaminant loads or high water volumes could cause premature cartridge filter clogging
The magnesium corrosion control rod anode rod inside the water heater can react with sulfate to form hydrogen sulfide This problem can be eliminated or reduced by replacing the magnesium rod with one made of aluminum Can I Have My Water Tested by a Laboratory for Hydrogen Sulfide and Sulfate It is very difficult to test for hydrogen
To accomplish this the water is treated with aluminum sulfate commonly called alum which serves as a flocculant Raw water often holds tiny suspended particles that are very difficult for a filter to ch Alum causes them to clump together so that they can settle out of the water or be easily trapped by a filter
