MetalEase™
by Safe Water Technologies, Inc. is a relatively new technology, and
a simple method of iron and heavy metals filtration that is quickly
becoming a popular alternative to chemical oxidation (chlorine feeders,
greensand/potassium permanganate, etc.). Although MetalEase™ works
on a similar principle of bringing dissolved metals out of solution,
most MetalEase™ filter applications require no chemical regeneration,
just a simple vigorous backwashing.

MetalEase™ is
capable of removing high levels of iron, hydrogen sulfide and other
metals such as lead and manganese. The media first brings the metals
out of solution into a solid form and then traps the particle in
the MetalEase™ bed until the particle is flushed out of the
tank in the backwash cycle.
MetalEase™ is designed to
be used in place of traditional forms of iron treatment and can
be installed on either well or municipal water supplies. It is the
perfect companion to softeners, RO systems, and carbon filters.
MetalEase™ is capable of removing
virtually unlimited amounts of the above contaminants, but tends
to work better in some geographic areas than others, depending on
the levels of TDS or Heme Iron (organics) in the local water supplies.
If you have had success in the past with greensand, Birm®, Pyrolox™,
or Filox-R™, then MetalEase™, will work for you using
the same parameters. In addition, MetalEase™ can also be pushed
beyond the listed removal capabilities by adding such things as
air injectors or extended contact times, but not in all areas or
on all waters. There is a bit of a learning curve, and some trial
and error may be required. But for those who have mastered the applications,
this is a wonderful method of treatment and a great way to give
your customers good water without the messy chemicals. Call your
SWT representative for more details.
