PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION

Pyrolox® a naturally mined ore is a granular water filtration media used for iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide removal. To maintain a proper, long term performance and removal capacity of the media, an oxidant is needed. Potassium permanganate, sodium permanganate, air, chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, or calcium hypochlorite injection are the options. It is important that Pyrolox media is backwashed properly to ensure adequate bed expansion and continued service life. It is recommended that Pyrolox be installed with an under-bed and be backwashed daily. Do not use Hydrogen Peroxide as an oxidant with Pyrolox filtration media.
