![]() ![]() you could go a year before adding more media. If you had a soda ash feeder, or a calcite neutralizer tank, in front of the iron filter. The problem with the chem-free systems is, there is very little pH-correcting media in the tank. So even if you wanted to convert your system to a MangOX or Greensand media iron filter, you would need to have a pH neutralizer of some kind in front of it. However, since your pH is so low, you would have to add more Corosex (same as mphAdder) to it every 2 -4 months just to keep the pH up to where it would work.Īll the other iron filters (greensand, MangOX ,Birm etc) all require a neutral pH too. It has Corosex in it, to correct the acidic pH. We do have a blend of iron filter media called the " Terminator Aqua Blend, 1 Cu Ft, Box: Aqua Blend combines Filter Ag, Birm, Calcite and Corosex and is the standard media in our Terminator Plus Systems." This is a good substitute for the MC-10P media and generally works better, and lasts longer. Now-How can you help? I don't mind changing this media on a scheduled basis, I just want something that will work!! My filter looks just like all the others I have seen on the net, and I hope I can find some better, longer-lasting media than what I have been using. My pH is 5.8, so I also have to add something called MpH Adder (MpH04). The problem is, the water is only good for a few months after I change the media, then I start seeing iron staining again. It is very expensive but I don't mind paying if it works correctly. I don’t think the “chem-free” iron filters work as advertised! I have been using a media called MC-10P (2cu.ft. Hello Gerry - I have a Maclean Iron Filter. ![]()
