Commercial Iron & Manganese Removal

At Pacific Water Technology, we specialise in commercial iron and manganese removal solutions designed to provide safe, high-quality water for industrial, municipal, and agricultural applications. Iron and manganese can cause staining, corrosion, taste and odour issues, and operational inefficiencies in water systems if not properly treated. Our advanced filtration media and systems efficiently remove these metals while protecting infrastructure and improving water quality.

One of our leading solutions is Katalox-Light®, a high-performance catalytic filter media coated with 10% gamma manganese dioxide (MnO₂) on ZEOSORB. Katalox-Light® offers a triple-action removal process: mechanical filtration for total suspended solids, catalytic precipitation and sorption of iron, manganese, and other metals, and adsorption of arsenic, radionuclides, and additional heavy metals. This chemical-free media is WQA certified to meet ANSI/NSF 61 standards for drinking water applications, lightweight for reduced backwash water use, and has a replacement cycle of 7–10 years, providing long-term reliability and cost efficiency.

Our iron and manganese filtration systems can treat extremely high inlet concentrations—up to 100 mg/L for iron and 20 mg/L for manganese—without mandatory chemical dosing. Systems like dual-stage or multi-stage Katalox-Light® filters have successfully removed large amounts of iron in real-world installations worldwide, offering a breakthrough in chemical-free water treatment.

With Pacific Water Technology, businesses gain a trusted partner for customised iron and manganese removal solutions, ensuring water systems remain clean, efficient, and compliant with industry standards.
