Birm Iron Removal Filter Fleck 5800 SXT 90 L - ref. FL-5800-SXT-BIRM-90

Overview

Bottle filter filled with BIRM catalytic media, on Fleck valve (ref. FL-5800-SXT-BIRM-90). Bottle 16X65. Valve 5800. This filtration station provides iron and manganese removal at point of entry to protect the entire installation. Supplied ready to install (filled bottle + valve + distribution), it treats mains water, well water or borehole water.

Filtration principle

BIRM media is an iron and manganese removal catalyst: it accelerates the oxidation of dissolved iron and manganese by oxygen present in the water. The insoluble oxides formed are retained in the filter bed and then removed during backwash, without chemical reagent, provided the water is sufficiently oxygenated and the pH is suitable.

BIRM media

The bottle is filled with BIRM catalytic media on a gravel and silica sand support bed that distributes the water and retains fines. Media volume: 84.9 L. Depending on the media, the bed is backwashed (charcoal/Ecomix) or recharged when consumed (calcite/Corosex/Everzit), to maintain performance over time.

Valve & operation

The 5800 valve automatically controls cycles: service (filtration), backwash, rinse and return to service (and salt regeneration for Ecomix). Triggering is time-based or volume-based depending on the model; an integrated bypass isolates the filter without cutting off water.

Sizing & installation

Choose the size (bottle 16X65) according to peak flow rate and water quality. Provide a drain connection for backwash and electrical supply for the valve. Install in a frost-free location on level ground; an upstream sediment pre-filter is recommended to protect the media.

Economy & ecology

Treating water at point of entry protects the entire installation: less corrosion (pH correction), more pleasant water (charcoal) and preserved equipment, therefore fewer replacements and maintenance. Backwash uses only water (and salt for Ecomix), without polluting additives: effective treatment that respects the resource.

Choosing correctly

To choose correctly, have your water analysed (pH, TAC, chlorine, iron) and estimate the peak flow rate. The media is chosen according to need: charcoal (taste/chlorine), calcite/Corosex/Everzit (pH correction), Ecomix (multi-parameter). The DIMM team will help you size the bottle, valve and pre-treatment.

Key characteristics

DIMM service & support

DIMM designs, assembles and ships turnkey bottle filters (Aquacarb/Carbsorb charcoal, pH correction Calcite/Corosex/Everzit, multilayer Ecomix) on Clack valves, as well as hoses and accessories. Our teams analyse your water, size the bottle and valve and advise you on suitable media and pre-treatment. Each reference is identified by its article code, with manufacturer warranty, spare parts and refill media available. From advice to commissioning, we support installers and homeowners, from sizing the bottle and valve to choosing the media and maintenance follow-up, with a stock of refill media and spare parts immediately available.

Good to know

The media is chosen according to water analysis: charcoal for taste and chlorine, calcite/Corosex to raise aggressive pH, Ecomix for multi-problem well water. Plan for backwash (sufficient flow rate and drainage) and, for pH correction media, periodic level monitoring and recharging as they are consumed. An upstream sediment pre-filter protects the media and spaces out backwashes, whilst regular water analysis allows you to adjust the valve setting.

Applications

These bottle filters are installed at point of entry (protecting the entire house or building), in residential, tertiary and agricultural settings. Depending on the media, they refine taste, correct pH or treat multiple parameters. They combine with sediment pre-filtration and, if needed, aeration, for healthy water and protected plumbing all year round.

Warranty & reordering

Station assembled and distributed by DIMM, identified by its Business Central article code for reliable ordering and simple reordering. It benefits from manufacturer warranty; the valve, bottle, refill media and compatible hoses remain available in the catalogue to support the installation throughout its lifetime.
