Product details

Katalox Light

Katalox Light® operates as a catalytic oxidation media, which means it helps oxidize iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide in water. Once oxidized, these contaminants form solid particles that can be filtered out. The media does not require continuous chemical regeneration but benefits from occasional chlorine, ozone, or air injection to maintain its oxidation properties.

Katalox Light® is a revolutionary advanced filtration media designed for the effective removal of iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic, and heavy metals from water. Manufactured in Germany by Watch Water®, Katalox Light® is a premium, granular filter media that offers superior performance compared to traditional filtration materials such as Birm, Greensand, and Manganese Greensand.

Katalox Light® is a next-generation filtration media that offers superior water purification by efficiently removing iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and other contaminants. Its lightweight nature, long lifespan, and high efficiency make it a preferred choice for residential, commercial, and industrial water treatment systems.

Key Features of Katalox Light® Advanced Filtration Media

  • High Removal Efficiency: Effectively removes iron (up to 30 ppm), manganese (up to 15 ppm), and hydrogen sulfide (up to 7 ppm) from water.
  • Lightweight & High Surface Area: Unlike traditional media, Katalox Light® is up to 50% lighter, reducing backwash water consumption.
  • Arsenic & Heavy Metal Reduction: Works efficiently in removing arsenic, lead, copper, and other heavy metals when used with proper pre-treatment.
  • Catalytic and Adsorptive Action: The media is coated with MnO₂ (Manganese Dioxide), which enhances oxidation and filtration efficiency.
  • Long Lifespan & Low Maintenance: Designed to last longer with minimal regeneration requirements.
  • NSF/ANSI 61 Certified: Safe for drinking water applications.
