## Overview

Birm Filter Media is a durable carbon fiber filtration solution designed to efficiently remove iron, manganese, rust, dirt, and sediment from well water. Acting as a catalyst, it enhances oxidation reactions to convert dissolved iron into filterable particles. Compatible with gravity-fed and pressurized systems, it offers easy backwashing regeneration, making it an economical and eco-friendly choice for clean, clear water.

## Description

Birm is an efficient and economical method or removing dissolved iron and manganese compounds from raw water supplies. It may be used in either gravity fed or pressurized water treatment systems. Birm acts as an insoluble catalyst to enhance the reaction between dissolved oxygen (D.O.) and the iron compounds. In ground waters, the dissolved iron is usually in the ferrous bicarbonate state due to an excess of free carbon dioxide and is not filterable. Birm acting as a catalyst between the oxygen and the soluble iron compounds, enhances the oxidation reaction of Fe++ to Fe+++ and produces ferric hydroxide which precipitates and may be easily filtered. The physical characteristics of Birm provide an excellent filter media which is easily cleaned by back washing to remove the precipitant. Birm is not consumed in the iron removal and therefore offers a tremendous economic advantage over many other iron removal methods.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work in place of greensand plus?**
A: Greensand plus is typically used when there is insufficient flow to adequately backwash birm.  If you have 11 to 13 gallons per minute for 15 minutes and another 10 for backwash you can use birm.  May need to change orfice on backwash line

**Q: Will this work in tannin system**
A: Birm is not designed for tannin removal.

**Q: Is this a good replacement media for the Iron Zapper iron filter?**
A: The Birm Filter media is very effective in removing Iron from my Well Water and I would not refer to it as a short term Iron Zapper. On average ( with Backwashing ) I would say you can expect a good 5yrs of service and more ( up to 10 - 15yrs if you purge the system with a liquid Iron remover to loosen the accumulated muck from the Well covering the Birm and preventing it from neutralizing more Iron)

**Q: Is this used in place of resin for a softener, or is this axtually resin?**
A: No, this is not used in place of any other softener (Birm is NOT a softener). Birm is an iron remover (or what is called an iron removing media).  Resin is a term used to describe the build-up (residue deposits) in your system that accumulates over time and clogs it up. Backwashing of your system is the means of removing the accumulated resin.
