3M™ Twin Tank Iron Reduction Water Treatment System 3MAAPM200 treats all incoming water and reduces iron, hydrogen and sulfide gas. 3MAPPM200 is chemical free and uses an air pump to introduce air into the water on the outlet side of the pressure tank to oxidize the iron.
- Adjusts pH levels and reduces elevated iron and hydrogen sulfide gas
- Chemical free process to reduce precipitated (ferric), ferrous (dissolved) or bacterial iron by air induction
- State-of-the art control valve is extremely easy-to-use, fully automatic and water-efficient
- Media blend increases pH levels to enhance iron reduction
- Unique bypass valve has state-of-the-art design features
Our 3M™ Twin Tank Iron Reduction Water Treatment System 3MAAPM200 is a chemical free system that treats all incoming water
It’s designed to reduce iron, hydrogen sulfide gas and manganese while allowing for pH adjustment. This system uses an air pump to introduce air into the water to increase the rate of precipitating the ferrous iron. 1"/2.5 cm inlet/outlet connections
2.0 cu ft media capacity
25 – 100 psi/172 – 689 kPa pressure range
Flow rate: service up to 7 gpm/1.8 lpm
Backwash up to 9 gpm/34 lpm
Fully ported four position bypass valve
Water Treatment: Here’s how it works: it starts with the air pump which adds a controlled amount of air to the aeration tank. As the water falls through the formed air pocket it absorbs oxygen. The oxygen then starts the natural oxidation process of iron, causing it to precipitate and allowing the iron to be filtered. Water then passes into the filter tank which contains a natural mineral media bed. Next, the water’s pH is raised, accelerating the oxidation process. The ferrous iron is oxidized and adheres to the media throughout the filter bed (not just on the surface). This gives the tank a larger iron holding capacity than iron filters such as the 3MAPIF system. When the filter tank fills up with iron particles, it automatically backwashes, sending the accumulated iron to drain. After this, the mineral filter bed is clean and ready for service again. Our 3M™ Twin Tank Iron Reduction Water Treatment System 3MAAPM200 uses depth filtration, which saves water and energy compared with surface filtration. This extends the period between regeneration cycles. Additionally, the state-of-the-art valve allows monitoring and control of every function and cycle. Users enjoy the benefits of the valve's precision, which saves water and energy due to frequency of backwash cycles. Collectively, these features are designed for long-term operation saving users time, money and energy.
