SafewayWater Zapper - Iron & Sulfur systems
Well water often contains Iron, which may stain plumbing fixtures, bath tubs, shower walls and doors. Iron can also stain sidewalks, driveways and add a metallic taste to your water. Hydrogen Sulfide may also be present, resulting in “rotten egg” or Sulfur odors. Manganese may also be a problem, leaving black spots on plumbing fixtures. Iron Zapper systems from Safeway Water remove Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide and Manganese without using chemicals in most installations.
Safeway Water Iron, Sulfur and Manganese filters utilize oxygen, contained in your water, to oxidize Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide and Manganese, so they drop out of solution to form particles. Periodically, the filter initiates a backwash cycle so the oxidized particles are flushed from the system. Also, our control valve is designed to create an air pocket in the filter tank for additional oxidation and improved performance.
Safeway Water Iron & Sulfur systems do not need chemicals for oxidation. However, if your water contains bacteria, water treatment chemicals may be required for disinfection.
The Iron Zapper uses a natural catalyst media that creates an accelerated oxidation reaction and filtration layer to remove iron. A higher level of performance is achieved through our regeneration process that adds an oxygen rich air pocket for the raw water to pass through.
The result is highly oxidized iron, hydrogen sulfide, and manganese particles that are now large enough to be filtered and removed from the
system during the cleaning or backwash cycles.
Our extremely powerful catalyst media provides a greater amount of oxidation potential due to its unique cluster structure giving it more active ingredients.
