TANNINS/ORGANICS REMOVAL CARTRIDGES

®

Aries FilterWorks uses ResinTech

SBACR anion exchange resin to remove
Tannins and other organics. This media is a high capacity, strongly basic anion
resin, supplied in chloride or hydroxide form. The high water content and acrylic
structure contribute to its greater capacity for removal in applications where
elevated levels or organics are expected.

APPLICATIONS

COMMERCIAL USE -

Tannin removal is highly recommended for use in multiple and mixed bed
deionizers, wherever complete ion removal and organic fouling resistance
is required. Tannins can prevent iron oxidation. Water softeners, aeration
systems, and iron filters may not perform to capacity.

RESIDENTIAL USE -

Tannins and similar naturally occurring organics cause most of the color in
potable water. They tend to discolor water and give it a bitter taste. They are
not toxic and are harmless to humans. However, their presence can make well
water unpleasant to drink and stain laundry. For this reason, people seek to
treat their water supply for this issue.

ABOUT TANNINS/ORGANICS

Tannins are organic matter that cause a yellow to dark tea color in water and may impart taste and odor. This effect is caused by a variety of humic
and fulvic organic acids, which are found in waters influenced by rainfall, and runoff from natural soil and peats into streams, rivers and lakes. Tannins
have also been found in deep groundwater wells.

The structure of the tannin varies from location to location, depending on the vegetation in the area. Tannins are not directly regulated by a govern­mental agency, however there is a secondary drinking water standard of 15 alpha units for color. A secondary drinking water standard is not federally
enforced. Tannins are not a health issue; however, they are aesthetically displeasing.
