The concentration limits listed below reflect the maximum individual limit that each contaminant
was tested for separately without any interference of other contaminants in the influent water.
In reality, however, we know that these contaminants may be present in combination which
may limit the filter's ability to remove these contaminants in higher concentrations. In some
cases, individual sellers of this equipment have had success removing higher concentrations of
contaminants—iron, for example—above the limitations we have listed. If you are considering the
installation of this system for the reduction/removal of iron beyond the written operating conditions
below, we recommend that you consult the manufacturer for proper application. Installation of this
system under these circumstances may void part(s) and/or all of the system warranty.
pH—The pH level of the influent water must be 7.0–8.5. A pH level of 7.0–8.5 is optimal for iron reduction.
Iron—This system is rated for a maximum of 10 ppm of ferrous (clear water) and/or ferric (red water) iron.
Consult the factory if iron bacteria is present.
Hydrogen Sulfide—Often referred to as rotten egg odor. Consult the manufacturer.
Organic Matter (Tannins)—The presence of organic matter such as tannins will prevent the
oxidation process of converting the dissolved element, such as iron or manganese, to a non-
soluble precipitate or solid substance, allowing it to be filtered out. The Iron-Cleer® is not
designed to remove organic bound iron.
NOTE: Waste connections or drain outlets shall be designed and constructed
to provide for connection to the sanitary waste system through an air
gap of two pipe diameters or 25.4 mm (1 inch), whichever is larger.
