Description
Address one of the most common and damaging water quality problems with the SkyRiver Iron & Metal Removal Filter — a premium EU-made replacement filter cartridge specially formulated to target and reduce elevated iron and manganese levels in your household water supply.
High iron and manganese content in water is a widespread issue that causes far more than just an unpleasant metallic taste. Left unaddressed, these minerals stain sinks, bathtubs, and laundry, clog pipes and appliances, shorten the lifespan of downstream filtration components, and pose long-term health concerns with prolonged consumption. The SkyRiver Iron & Metal Removal Filter tackles this problem directly — protecting both your water quality and your home.
NSF-Approved Birm Media At the core of this filter’s iron removal capability is Birm — a highly effective, NSF-approved filtration media widely recognised as one of the most reliable materials for iron and manganese reduction in water treatment. Birm works as a catalyst to accelerate the oxidation of dissolved ferrous iron and manganese, converting them into solid particles that can then be physically trapped and removed from the water stream. It is chemical-free, long-lasting, and highly efficient — making it a trusted choice in both residential and commercial water treatment applications.
NSF-Approved Corosex Media Complementing the Birm, this filter also incorporates Corosex — a magnesium oxide-based NSF-approved media that serves a dual purpose. Corosex neutralises the acidity of water, raising the pH to a level that optimises the iron and manganese oxidation process and makes the overall filtration more effective. It also helps protect downstream pipes, fittings, and appliances from the corrosive effects of acidic water — extending the life of your entire plumbing and filtration system.
Together, Birm and Corosex Create a Powerful Combination The pairing of Birm and Corosex within a single cartridge creates a synergistic filtration effect. Corosex conditions the water’s pH to the ideal range for Birm to operate at maximum efficiency — meaning the iron and manganese reduction performance you get from this filter is significantly greater than either media could achieve independently. It is a thoughtfully engineered solution for a complex water quality challenge.
Who Needs This Filter? This filter is particularly recommended for households and properties supplied by borehole water, well water, or municipal supplies with elevated iron or manganese readings. Tell-tale signs that you may need this filter include reddish-brown or black staining on sinks, taps, and laundry, a metallic taste in your drinking water, or discolouration of the water itself. Placing this filter in your system upstream of carbon and membrane stages will protect all subsequent filtration components and dramatically improve overall water quality throughout your home.
