🧭 1. Stage Purpose
- Use of Katalox Light in the filter oxidizes Fe and Mn
- Remove suspended solids (TSS) and debris
- Protect downstream systems (NF, IX, pumps)
- Stabilize feed water quality
📊 2. Normal Operating Envelope
- Flow Rate: 10 to 50 GPM (higher values possible)
- Inlet Pressure: < 2-5 psi
- Outlet Pressure: < 5 psi
- ΔP across media/filter: 2 psi (clean) → 5 psi (backwash trigger)
- Visual: Water clear, no visible solids carryover
🟢 3. What “Normal” Looks Like
- Stable flow with no sudden drops
- ΔP increases slowly over time
- No visible turbidity in downstream tanks
