Description Spec Sheet / Manual
 
Features include Fleck 5600/1600 filter valves with PVC injectors and special feeder pistons, 3/4" stainless steel bypass, black polyglass tanks, basket distributors, Birm, gravel beds and potassium solution tanks.

Product Features:
  • Simple mechanical design is easy to understand
  • Two valve body designs; one for down-flow regeneration and one for up-flow (covers every valve in the 5600 family - quick access to all internal components)
  • Injector/drain modules containing the bring valve, flow controls and injector are removable from the valve's exterior
  • Ruggedly built timer is designed with heavy-duty 3/8" wide plastic gears
  • 5600 controls are user friendly and easy to program
  • Non-corrosive, UV-resistant Noryl® valve body
  • Choice of 7 or 12 day clock or demand regeneration with either mechanical or electronic meter
  • Economical - small annual power consumption; keeps the time and activates the piston/valve mechanics with a single motor
  • Designed with double backwash
Birm

Birm is used to remove dissolved iron and manganese. The pH must be above 6.8 and dissolved oxygen content must be equal to 15% of the iron and manganese content. No regeneration is required, only periodic backwashing.

Birm® is an efficient and economical method of removing dissolved iron and manganese compounds from raw water supplies. It may be used in either gravity fed or pres sur ized water treatment systems. Birm® acts as an insoluble catalyst to enhance the reaction between dissolved ox y gen (D.O.) and the iron compounds. In ground waters, the dissolved iron is usually in the ferrous bicarbonate state due to an excess of free carbon dioxide and is not filterable. Birm®, acting as a catalyst between the oxygen and the soluble iron com pounds, enhances the oxidation reaction of Fe++ to Fe+++ and produces ferric hydroxide which precipitates and may be easily filtered. The phys i cal characteristics of Birm® provide an excellent filter media which is easily cleaned by back washing to remove the precipitant. Birm® is not consumed in the iron removal and therefore offers a tremendous economic advantage over many other iron removal methods.

Birm® may also be used for manganese removal with the same dependability as iron removal. In these ap pli ca tions the water to be treated should have a pH of 8.0 to 9.0 for the best results. If the water also contains iron, the pH should be below 8.5. High pH conditions may cause the formation of colloidal iron which is very difficult to filter out. All other conditions remain the same for either manganese or iron removal.

Advantages:
  • Under the proper conditions, no chemicals to purchase for maintenance. Regeneration not required.
  • Iron removal efficiency is extremely high
  • Negligible Labor Cost - only periodic back washing required
  • Durable material with a long life and wide temperature range
  • Weighs only 46-50 lb./cubic foot.
