Chem-Free Iron Filter

 Get the Iron Out........... All the Iron Out 

Filter Tank with Aeration Tank

Clean, crystal clear, great tasting water.

Clothing that’s clean, fresh and stain-free. Dishes and bathroom fixtures that glisten and sparkle. The Chem-Free iron filter eliminates iron from your water and iron problems from your life. It also removes manganese and sulfur gas too.

 Attention free operation 

Once installed, the Chem-Free iron filter requires little attention. It automatically removes ferrous iron, sometimes called "clear water" iron, as well as ferric iron, sometimes called "red water" iron. It also removes bacterial iron, manganese and sulfur gas. It is safe and very economical because it requires none of the expensive or messy chemicals such as chlorine or potassium permanganate conventional iron filters use. Instead, this filter uses plain air to oxidize the iron. There is virtually no limit on the amount of iron this filter can remove. The Chem-Free iron filter is easy and economical to maintain. It is more effective and easier to maintain than ozone systems for iron removal.

Neutralizes acidic water

The Chem-Free iron removal filter’s patented process raises the pH of the water, improving the efficiency of iron removal. This has the added benefit of neutralizing acidic (corrosive) water.

 How does the Chem-Free work? 

The Chem-Free works on the principle of "aeration- filtration." This iron filter features three major components: a hydrocharger, an aeration tank and a backwashable filter containing special media.

The hydrocharger adds a controlled amount of air to the water supply just before it enters the aeration tank. As the water sprays into the aeration tank it picks up more air. The oxygen in the air starts the natural iron removal process by oxidizing the iron and causing it to come out of solution. The iron can then be more easily filtered.

From the aeration tank the water passes into the filter tank which contains a natural mineral media bed. In this bed the water’s pH is raised, greatly accelerating the action of the air on the iron. The ferrous iron is completely oxidized and adheres to the media throughout the filter bed.(not just on the surface) This gives the tank a larger iron holding capacity than conventional iron filters.

When the filter tank begins to fill up with iron particles it automatically backwashes itself, washing the accumulated iron to the drain. The mineral filter bed is now clean and ready to go into service again. This filter backwashes itself with plain water.

Easy Servicing 

The Chem-Free only requires servicing every 6 to 12 months, depending on water use and water conditions. All the filter tanks have convenient fill holes for easy replenishing of the media.

Please Compare: Standard Features with the Chem-Free:

• Large 10" x 54" aeration tank with air release vent

• Convenient fill hole in Filter tank for easy servicing-No need to remove filter head to service unit.

• Brass bypass valve-quickly bypasses system if ever needed

• US Filter’s 10 year tank, 3 year parts warrantee

• Professional installation and start up by Licensed Plumbing Contractor with years of experience in water conditioning. Taking into account your family’s water use, the Chem-Free is set up for your particular iron, sulfur or manganese problem. The Chem-Free’s performance is tested on your water before it goes into service.

• The FLECK 2510 automatic filter control head. The control head is the heart of any water conditioning system. The 2510 automatically controls the normal operation and the periodic cleaning of you Chem-Free iron filter. This heavy duty, high flow rate filter valve is far superior to most "softener type" filter heads used on other iron filters. The 2510 allows you to adjust the length of all backwash cycles independently, as your water conditions indicate. It also allows the higher backwash rates needed to flush stored iron from the filter bed.
