How the inFusion Superfilter Works
The inFusion Commercial Superfilter utilizes a revolutionary space-age media along with
ORP Boosting (when necessary) and Oxidation to reduce or remove iron (both ferrous, ferric
and bacterial), sulfur (including sulfur reducing bacteria) and manganese. It also reduces or
removes arsenic and heavy metals when sufficient iron is present to bind the arsenic to the
iron. The new inFusion Advanced Oxidation media is a special Zeolite media with a robust
coating of manganese dioxide, manufactured with techniques impossible until recently.
inFusion Advanced Oxidation media has an angular shape with a rough high micro-porous
structure which provides a huge surface area for efficient oxidation of iron, sulfur and man-
ganese and creates very little pressure loss and high service flow rates combined with lower
backwash frequency.
Other medias (such as Birm and Greensand Plus) have very little manganese dioxide which
is the simple explanation as to why the inFusion Advanced Oxidation media works 100
TIMES BETTER! On the other hand, medias like Filox and Pyrolox are twice as heavy and
require massive volumes of water to properly backwash the media. In many cases the back-
wash flow rate is DOUBLE that of inFusion Advanced Oxidation media.
The inFusion Commercial electronic computer control cleans the media of accumulated con-
taminants, then delivers clean, clear, fresh water throughout the home. The electronic con-
trol is easy to set and once set, it never has to be set it again, because it has a built-in ca-
pacitor which keeps the memory up to 72 hours in case of power failure. A 5 Micron pre-
filter is installed prior to the inFusion Superfilter to ensure that it is being exclusively utilized
for removal of iron, sulfur, manganese and other target contaminants. The computer control
can be set to regenerate on pressure drop (more about that later).
Iron, sulfur and manganese are oxidized on the inFusion Advanced Oxidation media, while
other heavy metals, like arsenic, are bound to the iron and backwashed out. The inFusion
Superfilter backwash frequency is determined with the pressure gauges that are supplied
before and after the unit. A pressure differential reading (the difference in pressure readings
on the inlet and outlet gauges) determines the backwash frequency (days between back-
washes).
When the unit is initially put in service, the inlet and outlet pressure should be record-
ed. This is the service pressure drop. Once a 6-10 PSI differential in addition to the initial
service pressure drop is observed, the filter should be backwashed. The number of days
the filter operates in service without exceeding the pressure differential should be record-
ed. The unit can then be programmed according to days recorded between backwashes.
