Review: Water filter replacement media - High price due to weight...66 lbs ! Excellent quality water filter replacement media.
Review: BEST PRODUCT I'VE USED - We have (had) crazy amount of iron in our well water. Water tasted like drinking blood. Toilets looked like rust buckets. The Katalox media filters it out. I've taken five gallon jugs of water to work and co-workers say I should sell my water! I will definitely keep using Katalox in the future.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Kinetico is a 2060 and about 15 yrs old. fill as i would with birm? how do i know if i have proper backwash flow?**
A: Fill the tank appropriately 75% full. You can use a 5 gallon bucket and a stop watch to measure flow with the head in the backwash cycle. Or, you can purchase a flow meter and plumb it into the drain line. 

So far the media is working well for me. FYI It took a solid week of use and regen cycles to get it to completely rinse down.

**Q: Can i use this product in a kinetico system in place of the birm that i currently use?  will it require any alteration to the system?**
A: I know nothing about Kinetico filters, but this media is far superior to Birm for removing iron and manganese.  It is designed to be used in a tank with a backwashing valve and air injection.  Depending on how much media you use, it requires frequent backwashing with at least 7gpm, more is better.  It also works best with a ph of 7 to 8.

**Q: Can i use rhis in an addie iron genie?**
A: No

**Q: My well water has very high iron of level of 7.5 mg/L and 6 pH. Will this media work for that and will it affect my water’s hardness?**
A: Hi!
The pH needs to be 6.8 or higher for this media to work well for you. The Katalox light media will not affect the hardness, but if you add a calcite filter to raise the pH, this would increase the water hardness.
