SULFUR TREATMENT |
|
|
There are a number of ways to treat sulfur depending on the
amount of sulfur and other minerals in the water. One of the easiest ways
is with the Kinetico Sulfur Guard System.
Sulfur Guard™
The Kinetico Sulfur Guard system removes Hydrogen Sulfide to
keep your water fresh and odor-free. While other solutions require multiple
stages of expensive, cumbersome, high-maintenance equipment, Kinetico’s
Sulfur Guard system takes care of hydrogen sulfide problems all in a single,
compact unit. And since the only maintenance required is the addition of
common household bleach, Kinetico’s Sulfur system is hands down the easiest
sulfur removal system to maintain. Kinetico Sulfur Guard Systems use
exclusive Sulfaban™ filtration media to remove hydrogen sulfide gas from
your water, leaving it odor-free.
Periodically your system
automatically cleans itself and regenerates the media using common household
bleach. Afterward, the system is completely rinsed with clean water, so it
can continue providing you with fresh water. |

Only Kinetico Sulfur Guard
systems combine all of the following features:
 |
Non-Electric
Operation
Kinetico Water Filters function without using electricity, instead using
the force of moving water to automatically switch from cycle to cycle.
Kinetico systems are not susceptible to power outages or surges. And
there are no expensive electric timers or microprocessors to repair or
replace. |
|
|
Twin Tank Design
Two softening tanks provide conditioned water, 24 hours a day, even
during regeneration. When one tank is exhausted, the other is activated
to continue softening your water. The exhausted tank is cleaned with the
conditioned water produced by the on-line tank for optimum results. |
Metered, demand
regeneration Kinetico systems measure your water use and regenerate only
when necessary to save money and conserve water. Because other systems on
the market have only one softening tank, they cannot clean themselves and
continue to soften your water at the same time, making them less efficient
and more expensive to operate.

Chlorination
Luckily, hydrogen sulfide
can be removed through several different methods. One way is to convert it
into a precipitate, a yellowish or gray powder that can be removed with
filters. First, chlorination is used to oxidize the contaminant. The
chlorine reacts with the hydrogen sulfide to produce sulfur, which is then
removed with an automatic back washing filter.
Chlorination systems consist of:
|
|
Chlorinator
A chemical feed pump designed to inject a predetermined level of
chlorine into the water. Chlorine will kill bacteria and oxidize high
levels of iron, manganese, and sulfur. |
|
|
Retention Tank
This tank is used to insure contact time for proper bacteria kill,
and/or time to completely oxidize iron and sulfur. |
|
|
Carbon Filter
Removes chlorine, precipitated sulfur, precipitated iron, and
organics, which may be present in water. |
Other filtration systems such as manganese-treated greensand
can be used to remove light to moderate amounts of sulfur in the water.
These are simple to operated and effective.
It is crucial to get an accurate test of the water when
working with any elements but especially sulfur.
There are other methods such as aeration
that can be effective at removing sulfur however these methods have the
potential to forcibly inject outside mold and bacteria from the surrounding
environment. These methods should be followed by a disinfection system such
as chlorination or ultraviolet (UV) to kill the microbes.
