Pyrolox filter media is a heavy bed based on natural manganese dioxide, catalyzing the oxidation of iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide with a high required rinsing flow.

What does Pyrolox filter media mean in practice?

The high proportion of MnO2 catalyzes the oxidation and allows the reaction products to be retained in a heavy layer.

When does it matter?

High density requires very efficient backwashing; insufficient flow leads to compaction and channeling.

Which solutions are related to it?

Prior to selection, pump and drain capacity, pH and oxidant availability are confirmed, and expansion is checked on site.
