How does the Iron Curtain work?
The Iron Curtain uses a three step process of oxidation, precipitation, and filtration. Mineral rich water is sprayed through a regulated head of air in the Aeration Tank, where it is brought into intimate contact with oxygen. Oxidation begins to convert the dissolved elements in your water into physical particles, or insoluble precipitates. The design of the Iron Curtain system allows for adequate contact / reaction time for the particles to become large enough to filter. The water leaving the Aeration Tank then flows into the Filter Tank where it passes through the Iron Curtain’s unique multimedia filter bed. This bed is comprised of five layers of materials layered so that the largest filter media is on the top and the smallest media is at the bottom of the bed. This allows for longer filter runs, faster flow rates, and for use of the entire depth of the filter bed.
