Ecomix Type A – Water Filter Material

Description

One Eight Filtration introduces the Ecomix Type A

Ecomix Type A is an advanced multi-purpose filter media for problem water. Ecomix is a highly effective solution for removing water hardness, iron, manganese, tannins and ammonia. It comprises of 5 special components made from natural and synthetic materials. After loading the softener with Ecomix it separates into 5 layers ensuring an efficient operation.

Using Ecomix is more effective than traditional filtration methods for water with a high iron content as it;

• Removes ferrous, ferric, organic and colloidal iron and manganese at the highest concentration levels on the market.
• Removes the discoloration of water caused by the presence of tannins.
• Works at a low TDS, low hardness, high H₂S and pH 5-9.
• Works with low salt consumption.
