Iron Removal Filter Cartridge for AQVA M-Size Filter Housing (AQFE-M)
Effective Iron and Manganese Filtration for Utility Water:
The AQFE-M Iron Removal Filter Cartridge is designed for AQVA M-size (10” standard) filter housings, efficiently reducing iron and manganese from utility water. Featuring activated carbon, it also eliminates odors and unpleasant tastes, making it ideal for clarifying cottage water, lake water, or well water for a single water point.
Benefits:
- Enhances utility water quality for improved clarity and taste.
- Easy maintenance with straightforward filter replacement.
- No drainage system required, simplifying installation.
Effectively Removes:
- Manganese: 30–70% reduction*
- Odors and unpleasant tastes
- Particulate matter down to 5 µm
Note: Purification efficiency depends on concentration and water characteristics such as pH, salinity, and humus content.
Filter Replacement:
- Filter Capacity: Up to approximately 23,000 liters when raw water iron content is around 2 mg/L and humus has been pre-removed.
- Replacement Indicator: Replace when filtered water develops a yellowish tint, indicating the filter’s capacity is exhausted. Replace at least annually.
- Note: Filter lifespan depends on raw water quality. If purified water quality changes, conduct a follow-up water analysis.
