Above that, dissolved iron starts to break through before it is fully oxidized and filtered, and the staining returns. Staging two tanks in series splits the load: the first tank removes most of the iron, the second polishes off what remains. You also double the media volume to 5.0 cubic feet of Katalox-Light, so each tank runs longer between backwashes and the media lasts to the long end of its life. No chemicals, no potassium permanganate, no chlorine feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Each Stage Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/iron-removal-filter-fleck-2510aio-2-5-cubic-foot-13-54-with-katalox-light\"\u003eIron Filter 1 (Fleck 2510AIO 2.5 cu ft)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e oxidizes and removes the bulk of the iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/iron-removal-filter-fleck-2510aio-2-5-cubic-foot-13-54-with-katalox-light\"\u003eIron Filter 2 (Fleck 2510AIO 2.5 cu ft)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e polishes off the remaining iron so nothing breaks through to stain fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/water-softener-fleck-2510sxt-64000-grain-18-33-salt-tank\"\u003eWater Softener (Fleck 2510SXT 64,000 grain)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e removes the hardness minerals the iron filters do not touch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Install Order Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth iron filters must come before the softener. Dissolved iron fouls softener resin, binding to the beads and never releasing during regeneration, which slowly kills softening capacity. Removing all the iron first protects the resin for its full 10-15 year life.
