Gen  Water  Treatment  System  Works

 

The  Oxi

-

Gen  iron,  sulfur  and  manganese  eradication  system  uses  Hydrogen  Peroxide  (H2O2)  

to   oxidize   contaminants   in   your   water   source.      The   chemical   name   for   hydrogen   peroxide   is  
H2O2.      As   you   can   see   it   is   very   similar   to   water   (H2O)   but   with   one   additional   oxygen  
molecule.    Hydrogen  peroxide  is  injected  into  the  water  stream  proportionally.     The  chemical  
injection  system  will  engage  the  pump  based  on  the  flow  rate  of  the  feed  source  water  and  the  
settings  on  the  pump  control.    

 

 

When  water  is  being  used  the  water  meter  sends  a  pulse  to  the  pump  control  to  engage  the  
pump.      So   when   large   amounts   of   water   are   being   used   the   pump   will   run   more   frequently  
during  the  usage  period  than  in  times  when  a  small  amount  of  water  is  being  used.    

 

 

When   hydrogen   peroxide   is   injected   into   the   water   stream,   it   oxidizes   the   iron,   sulfur   and  
manganese  from  solution.    This  reaction  is  immediate.    When  these  contaminants  are  oxidized  
with  hydrogen  peroxide  (H2O2)  the  extra  oxygen  molecule  oxidizes  the  contaminants  and  the  
by  product  is  H2O  (water).    This  is  much  safer  than  using  chlorine  in  that  chlorine  can  cause  
other  problems  in  the  water  stream  such  as  chloramines  and  trihalomethanes  (THM’s).

 

 

Once  the  water  has  been  injected  with  hydrogen  peroxide  it  passes  through  the  backwashing  
carbon   filter.      The   backwashing   carbon   filter   uses   catalytic   carbon   to   act   as   a   “catalysis”   to  
remove   the   oxidized   contaminants.      As   the   water   passes   through   carbon   filter   the   oxidized  
contaminants  are  removed  from  the  water  and  collected  on  the  carbon  media.    Once  the  water  
has  passed  through  the  carbon  filter  the  water  is  iron,  sulfur  and  manganese  free!

 

 

The  carbon  filter  will  need  to  be  backwashed  on  a  frequency  (in  days)  to  flush  out  the  collected  
contaminants.      The   frequency   varies   on   each   system   depending   on   the   contaminant   level.    
Please   use   the   following   table   as   a   guideline   for   backwash   frequency   combining   iron,   sulfur  
and  manganese  values  (these  are  baseline  values  and  actual  frequency  may  vary);;
