General Technical Notes

• Warnings:
  • Reduced iron removal efficiency will occur if the backwash rate is not followed.
  • Backwash may not be sufficiently effective if the volume of ECOMIX® in the vessel is more than 60%.
• The components of the blends self-classify into layers inside the filter during the first regeneration.
• Packaging is available in 12 L and 25 L bags.
