  • Orange or brown staining
  • Dark manganese deposits
  • Metallic taste
  • Buildup in plumbing and fixtures

Design inputs

Water source
City, private well, community well or process water
Water chemistry
Measured field conditions and laboratory data when needed
Hydraulics
Pressure, flow and peak demand
Product water
Quality and volume required after treatment

Our approach

Assessment through verification

  1. 01

    Determine iron and manganese form and concentration

    Document the requirement and confirm the next design decision.

  2. 02

    Check pH, hardness and competing conditions

    Document the requirement and confirm the next design decision.

  3. 03

    Select oxidation and filtration approach

    Document the requirement and confirm the next design decision.

  4. 04

    Set backwash and service requirements

    Document the requirement and confirm the next design decision.

Frequently asked questions

Iron & Manganese Removal questions

How do you select the right system?

We start with the water source, testing, available flow and the amount and quality of treated water required.

Is testing always required?

The scope depends on the source and concern. Field measurements may be sufficient for some decisions; other conditions benefit from laboratory analysis.

How is ongoing service planned?

Filter, media and membrane service intervals depend on feed-water conditions, usage and the equipment selected.
