Product Overview

Katalox Light® Filtration Media - 1 cu/ft

Katalox Light® is a new brand of revolutionary advanced filtration media completely developed in Germany. It's composition simply makes it outstanding against the contemporary filter media available in water treatment industries, like sand, BIRM, Greensand Plus, Manganese Greensand etc. Katalox Light® is manufactured in Germany.

Katalox Light® is engineered with unique MnO2 coating technique on ZEOSORB®, providing it light weight, higher filtration surface, more service life, and more reliable performance (filtration down to 3µm) than any other existing granular filter media.

Katalox Light® is being used in numerous systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications worldwide, for high level filtration, color and odor removal, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide removal, efficient reduction of arsenic, zinc, copper, lead, radium, uranium and other radionuclides and heavy metals.

Katalox Light® is ANSI/NSF 61 Certified for drinking water applications and has met the ANSI/NSF 372 Lead free compliance.

A high concentration coating of MnO2 on the Katalox Light® surface (10%) is the biggest advantage compared to any similar product available in the market. This makes the oxidation and co-precipitation of contaminants much more effective. For removal of a very high concentration of contaminant it's recommended to use chlorine as an oxidizer, which provides accelerated catalytic oxidation on the surface of the media. Conventional oxidizing agents like chlorine or potassium permanganate also could be used if required.

Katalox Light® can be used for arsenic, radium, and uranium removal but in these cases there is a requirement of iron in the water. Katalox Light® system is designed with special iron dosing technology which has many advantages over adsorbent media used for heavy metal removal.

cleared up my water issue

"cleared up my water issue !"

— James M. (5/5)

Beats Pro Ox!!

"Used in my 2. 0 CF Sidekick to remove heavy iron. Used to replace 5 year old Pro Ox with Aeration Balls and CDF Cubes (a disaster of a combination) on a gravel bed, that no longer worked. I’m 3 weeks in and love the Katalox Light! I used 20 grade pool filter sand for underbedding (0. 4 to 0. 55 MM) and this setup is perfect. Our downstream water softener is now unburdened by the iron that has been."

— John L. (5/5)

"I CHANGED MY MEDIA TO KATALOX AND IT WORKED GREAT NO MORE IRON AND A GREAT PRICE FROM US WATER SYSTEM. SUPER GREAT SERVICE."

— RON B. (5/5)

Destroys manganese!

"I had nearly 1ppm manganese & 26ppm iron along with some aluminum, lead...low ORP, low pH. Installed a calcite acid neutralizer & a peroxide injection system with a tank of catalytic carbon after it. This took care of everything except manganese which only dropped to ~0.85ppm. Put a tank of Katalox-Light after the peroxide injector & the catalytic carbon after the Katalox. Tested again & manganese has dropped to 0.01ppm! Water tastes great!"

— Thomas L. (5/5)

Q&A

Can I use this to replace the carbon medium in my inFusion tank?
No, Katalox is designed to work with dissolved oxygen/air or chlorine as the oxidant, not peroxide. In a peroxide system it tends to just blow off the peroxide at the very top of the bed, foul rapidly with sludge, and the MnO₂ coating can get damaged. Catalytic carbon, on the other hand, is specifically good at handling peroxide—finishing the oxidation, filtering the metals, and safely decomposing excess peroxide.
