  • Very high iron removal efficiency.
  • Occasional backwashing needed.
  • Tough material for a long life and wide temperature variety.

How it Functions

As water flows through the filter tank containing Birm media, with enough oxygen within the water, the media causes the iron to form rust or strong iron particles.

After these rust particles get trapped within the filter media, once or twice per week they're automatically back washed out to drain.

Then the filter media is prepped to continue the filtration process.

Operation CONDITIONS for Birm Filters 

🔎 Check To Insure Proper Function

A water test of your raw well water is highly suggested prior to buying filter systems. 

Water Conditions Required:

  • Water must have a pH of 7.0 to 9.0. for birm to function correctly.
  • The dissolved oxygen content should be a minimum of 15% from the iron or manganese content.
  • Water must include no tannins, chlorine, oil, or hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg odor).
    If any of these items are present, we suggest the Greensand filter system.
  • Aeration is recommended for optimal performance.

For Wells 50 Feet or Deeper:

An air injector must be used to add oxygen to deep well water prior to feeding a Birm filter.

If water is fed from an open storage tank or spring, then additional air injection is typically not required.

Measure Your WELL PUMP FLOW RATE

Check your well pump's effective flow rate...  Easy as 1, 2, 3...

Minimum Water Flow Rate Required:

The size of an iron filter or pH neutralizer system is dependent on the flow rate from your well pump. 

Please check your flow rate to select the properly sized system.

Do not select a system that requires a higher flow rate.
