Description
Katalox light filter media is a high-performance catalytic filtration media designed for the effective removal of iron, manganese, hydrogen sulphide, suspended solids, and a wide range of heavy metals from water. Manufactured with a high manganese dioxide (MnO₂) coating, Katalox light combines exceptional contaminant removal with low operating costs and an extended service life.
Its lightweight zeolite core and large surface area provide outstanding filtration efficiency while significantly reducing backwash water consumption compared to conventional filter media. Katalox light can remove multiple contaminants in a single filtration stage, making it an ideal solution for residential, commercial, agricultural, municipal, and industrial water treatment systems.
With longer filter runs, reduced maintenance, and a service life of up to 10 years, Katalox light is one of the most effective filtration media available for treating challenging borehole and municipal water supplies.
