Is this system & method right for you?

There are a few things you need to consider before selecting this method of removal.

Is the pH of your water from 6.8 to 9.0? If the pH of your water is lower than 6.8, or higher than 9.0 its best to write or call to discuss a few ways of improving your removal conditions. Don't know your pH... you need a water test before ordering a system!

Recommended Removal Limits: Recommended Total Iron limit is 3ppm, Manganese 1.0ppm, H2S, hydrogen sulphide must be removed before the brim filter, visit the Birm spec sheet to learn more about its removal capabilities.

What is the intended maximum flow rate in your home? This is important for two reasons, one we need to match the maximum flow rate of your home with the maximum service flow rate of your system, and two, the system requires a certain amount of water to clean its media bed properly... a single cubic foot of Birm media has a maximum or peak flow rate of 5gpm (gallons per minute). So a 0.75cuft system is a 4gpm system, 1.0cuft = 5gpm, 1.5cuft = 7.5gpm, 2.0cuft = 10gpm. Better removal will occur at reduced rates. For example, an ideal service flow rate for maximum removal would be, 0.75cuft = 3gpm, 1.0cuft = 4gpm, 1.5cuft = 5gpm, 2.0cuft = 7gpm.

Don't know your flow rate... Fixture counts and the number of people is a practical way when you have the endless water supply, well-pumping systems often are the limiting factor so a bucket test using a hose from your manifold or tank tee will work great.

Backwashing requirements are important, water temperature is also important. Your water supply will need to be able to meet the backwashing requirements of the specific model. Cold water reduces the minimum flow rate needed to clean the Birm media bed, warmer water increases the minimum flow rate needed.
