MULTI-TANK SYSTEMS: Dual prefix DKBW, Triple prefix TKBW. Multiply media volume, flow rates (except backwash), ship weight and B dimension accordingly.
Peak Flow Rate is only indicates the maximum flow through the system at 15psi drop. These systems are not intended to treat water at Peak Flow Rate.
Service Flow Rate is for Chlorine, Taste & Odor Removal. Continuous Flow Rate is for Organics Reduction. Adsorption will not be effective above Service Flow.
Greensand media requires a continuous feed of Potassium Permanganate. Consult factory for an appropriately sized solution tank and chemical feed pump.
