AFWFilters AIS10-25SXT Air Injection Silver 10 Iron, Sulfur and Manganese Filter (Fleck 2510SXT) review
Iron and manganese filter. Licensed plumber required. Skill and code, not a preference. No third-party certification on record. Claims below are manufacturer-reported.
What it removes
| Contaminant | Evidence | Stated reduction | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron | Manufacturer-reported | not stated | |
| Manganese | Manufacturer-reported | not stated |
Certified is an NSF, WQA, or IAPMO listing for that claim. Manufacturer-reported reduction for iron. Not NSF-certified for iron.
Iron and manganese staining at the main.
Install upstream of a softener; AIO iron filters must precede the softener so oxidized iron does not foul resin. Needs a drain for backwash.
Backwashing air-injection oxidizing tank: 10 x 54 in Pentair tank, 1 cu ft Filter Ag Plus media over gravel, Fleck 2510SXT AIO valve, stainless bypass. Manufacturer: up to 10 ppm iron, 2 ppm manganese, 4 ppm hydrogen sulfide; 10 GPM recommended peak flow. Amazon size table for the 10 in tank: 7 GPM service, 10 GPM peak, 7 GPM minimum backwash, max TDS 1500 ppm. No consumable cartridge (media is regenerated by daily backwash), so filter life and annual cost are null. Manufacturer store price $1,199. Not in NSF database. Amazon listing also sold as 5600SXT variant by other sellers; this ASIN is the AFW 2510SXT listing.
