MAGNODOL PH CORRECTION FILTERS

Magnodol is a more aggressive form of pH correction media. It can raise the pH from below 5 to a level of 7. However, the media is capable of overcorrecting and raising the pH past 7 if used in an incorrect application.

This pH media can be used before iron removal treatment, by naturally raising the pH and dropping out the iron in solution more effectively as it travels through the manganese dioxide.

This media is sacrificial so will need topping up over time. We would recommend yearly top ups to ensure the media is not exhausted as it depletes at 17.8mg/l per gram of CO₂ in the water. The greater the contact time, incoming pH and CO₂ level will dictate how great the pH rises. Flow rates may need to be reduced if the raw incoming water is particularly low.

At Wateq all our systems are supplied with a backwashing valve to ensure the media is fresh whilst any suspended particulates that are held during service can be backwashed, as well as preventing channelling.
