Treatment for High Levels of Iron, Manganese and Hydrogen Sulphide. Taking a water sample for analysis will provide the levels of Iron, Manganese and Hydrogen Sulphide present which will determine which treatment will be the most effective and economical. We can help with taking water samples and providing a written report on the levels present in the water, along with our recommendations for the best treatment option(s), for your consideration. When the amount of Iron or Manganese exceeds what can be effectively removed by an in-line pleated cartridge, a media tank fitted with a control valve to reduce the levels is the answer. Dissolved Iron and Manganese is oxidised to speed precipitation, which is then filtered out, so only clean water enters the home. Treated water is delivered into a storage tank of your choice, sized to suit. We can arrange delivery and installation of tank, pump and treatment by fully trained and well experienced Registered Plumbers, familiar with all systems

Manganese Greensand Manganese greensand is formulated from a glauconite greensand which is capable of reducing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulphide from water through oxidation and filtration. Soluble iron and manganese are oxidised and precipitated by contact with higher oxides of manganese on the greensand granules. The hydrogen sulphide is reduced by oxidation to an insoluble sulphur precipitate. Precipitates are then filtered and removed by backwashing. When the oxidising capacity power of the Manganese Greensand is exhausted. The bed has to be regenerated with a weak potassium permanganate solution thus restoring the oxidising capacity of the bed. 1 ½ to 2 ounces of potassium permanganate, in solution, per cubic foot of Manganese Greensand is considered sufficient for normal regeneration. It is required to vigorously backwash and regenerate the bed when it is placed in service and before its oxidisation capacity is totally exhausted. Operating the bed after oxidisation capacity is exhausted will reduce its service life and may cause staining.

Control Valves Whole House Water Treatment Systems We have a range of these units, with completely automatic control valves. The control valve is fitted onto a round FRP tank (either 10x 54 high or 12 x 52 high) filled with manganese greensand media to correct the water problem(s) to comply with the NZ Water Standards. The system is installed between the well pump and a water storage tank. A pressure pump then delivers all the water for the house or business to bring the water to an acceptable standard for use.

Manganese & Iron Removal System

For further information please contact: Sue Kelly Free phone: Clients Comments: We recently purchased a water softener and filtration system from Sue Kelly Water Systems Ltd. Our water quality was so bad it was almost undrinkable due to high levels of iron, manganese and hardness. The systems she supplied have made a fantastic difference to the quality of the water; we can now drink it with confidence and pleasure. Sues advice, service and backup have been second to none and we highly recommend her very professional company. P&K Little River Thank you for giving us beautifully clear water! Our water has always contained a high level of iron that caused cloudiness, a distinct metal taste and smell in the water. Ice cubes were always brown – not a good look in a gin and tonic! As well as staining all the bathroon and laundry fitting a horrid brown/black colour, many items of clothing, furnishings and parts of the outside stone cladding to the house are stained for life. Now the water is cystal clear, no taste, no smell, the WC pan nas been scrubbed and the iron stain has gone. And the gin and tonics are better than ever! Thank you Sue, for changing our water supply so radically – we appreciate it. P&P Hanmer Thank you so much for your help and advice. Your customer service is perfection plus! Many thanks again for your time and help. AG, Blenheim "Tuahiwi groundwater is notorious for high levels of Iron, Manganese and Hydrogen Sulphide. With equipment supplied by Sue Kelly Water Systems, we are enjoying clean, clear water throughout our house with no staining or objectionable smell. The Aqua K in the kitchen provides total peace of mind and protection from Bacteria and Agricultural Chemicals." R.P.W.B Tuahiwi Thank you so much for your help and advice.
