Whole house water filter for Iron, Magnesium Treatment

  • Birm® is an efficient and economical media for the reduction of dissolved iron and manganese compounds from raw water supplies. It may be used in either gravity fed or pressurized water treatment systems.

    Birm acts as an insoluble catalyst to enhance the reaction between dissolved oxygen (D.O.) and the iron compounds. In ground waters the dissolved iron is usually in the ferrous bicarbonate state due to the excess of free carbon dioxide and is not filterable. Birm, acting as a catalyst between the oxygen and the soluble iron compounds, enhances the oxidation reaction of iron and produces ferric hydroxide which makes the iron combine into sediment particles and may be easily filtered.

    The physical characteristics of Birm provide an excellent filter media which is easily cleaned by backwashing to remove the precipitant. Birm is not consumed in the iron removal operation and therefore offers a tremendous economic advantage over many other iron removal methods.

    Other advantages of Birm include:

  • long material life with relatively low attrition loss
  • A wide temperature performance range and extremely high removal efficiency.

    Negligible labor costs are involved because Birm does not require chemicals for regeneration, only periodic backwashing is required.

    When using Birm for iron removal, it is necessary that the water:

  • Contain no oil or hydrogen sulfide
  • organic matter not to exceed 4-5 ppm
  • The Dissolved Oxygen content equal at least 15% of the Iron content
  • A pH of 6.8 or more.

    If the influent water has a pH of less that 6.8, neutralizing additives such as Clack Corosex®, Calcite or soda ash may be used prior to the Birm filter to raise the pH. A water having a low D.O. level may be pretreated by aeration.

    Additions of chemicals to influent or backwash water which contacts Birm media may inhibit iron or manganese removal or may break down or coat Birm media. Chlorination greatly reduces Birm’s activity. High concentrations of chlorine compounds may deplete the catalytic coating.

    Polyphosphates are known to coat Birm and reduce Birm’s ability to remove iron or manganese. Before adding any chemical to the influent or backwash water, the chemical's compatibility with Birm should be thoroughly tested.

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

    Great alternative to rawhide!
    Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    We have been getting these for quite some time for our black lab. He eats rawhide too quickly and ends up regurgitating it all over the floor. So, on the advice of our vet, we tried something else. We tried these after many other products. These are gone as quickly as rawhide (with my dog, that's 10 minutes... TOPS!), but he doesn't have the digestive issues. The fact that they chew up similar to rawhide is a big plus, since I don't like it when he can't finish it in one sitting - that's just a yucky mess laying around on the floor. I highly recommend these SmartBones for anyone whose dog can't digest rawhide well.

    Happy dog
    Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    We have a big dog and don't like to give him rawhide products for many reasons. We came across SmartBones a couple of years ago and have bought them ever since. They work well for our dog. The challenge has been finding them in stores where we live and at a fair price. These worked.

    I order these a lot. They don't have rawhide ...
    Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    I order these a lot. They don't have rawhide in them so that is my main reason. I have a small dog and I order a large because it then takes him about 45 mins to an hour to eat. Most of the time after he eats half I save the other half for the next day to make them last longer! He is a very active dog but these are his favorites. I also order them in small for little treats here and there (those last under 10 mins for him).

    Dog loves even though they are thin product dog loves them and Picks Them out of many many toys.
    These were super thin and I thought about tearing a hole in them and putting in a slight bit of stuffing. However, my dog absolutely loves them and we fling them across the house and the yard like little Frisbees. They are very lightweight but kind of a corduroy stitched fabric and they have lasted quite some time and been through the washer and dryer many times and abused. Still holding up and the dog loves them. Highly recommend a great product for the price.

    Will Buy Again--Eventually as they are hearty
    My dog loves these "trash babies" as the size, squeaker & trash /cellphane sound the crinkle toy makes brings her joy. this brings me joy as the stitching is hearty and toys hold up when cleaned in my washing machine & dryer. Her first trash baby is still going strong after a year tho the crinkle sound has dimminshed some the sweaker is good as new. I bought these to rotate to wash and keep a new one for travel. Very durable! good size for my 20 pound mini aussie.
