PENTAIR IRON REMOVAL FILTERS
Pentair RFFE Range
Dissolved iron in water can cause a number of unwanted complications including staining, an orange or brown appearance and poor-tasting metallic drinking water. When left untreated, there is also the possibility of damage to existing pipework, water-using appliances and any water treatment systems downstream. These filters are designed to effectively treat dissolved iron at a flow rate of up to 23 litres per minute, with the ability to be installed at either the point of use, or point of entry. When installed at the point of entry, the filter reduces the possibility of damage to pipework and water heaters, whilst eliminating the orange and brown staining in sinks and toilets associated with high levels of iron.
Maximising Filter Lifespan
To maximise the lifespan of these filters a pre-filter should be installed to protect from particulate buid up. For drinking water applications a carbon post-filter is also recommended, which will further polish any remaining colour, taste and odour from the water. An example of what this filter-cascade may look like can be found below.
Stage 1 – Sediment Pre-Filter (5 Micron)
Stage 2 – Iron Removal Filter
Stage 3 – Carbon Post-Filter (Optional)
How Often Do I Need To Change These Iron Removal Filters?
The change frequency for these filters depends on the concentration of iron in your water supply, the higher the iron concentration the shorter the lifespan of the filter. Below is a guide as to what you can expect at different concentrations of iron.
At 1ppm iron the average lifespan is 300,000L (Approximately 320 days of use in a home with 4 occupants)
At 2ppm iron the average lifespan is 150,000L (Approximately 160 days of use in a home with 4 occupants)
At 3ppm iron the average lifespan is 98,000L (Approximately 104 days of use in a home with 4 occupants)
