The IRON-HYDRO-15 exists because a manganese dioxide bed sized for one bathroom will channel and short-circuit on a house drawing more, and bed volume is the only real fix. Its strongest attribute is inherited: the same published pH range, oxidation reduction potential floor and removal capacities that make the IRON-HYDRO-10 unusually honest for this category. Its weakest is the same too, since the 5 gallons per minute per cubic foot service rating is published without a bed volume for this model, so nothing in the specification tells a buyer how much more house this unit covers than the smaller one. APEC also shares one specification table across the family under a single IRON-HYDRO heading, which is why the differences between the three sizes are effectively undocumented. At 295 dollars over the 10 the buyer is paying for bed volume they cannot verify.
- Same published chemistry limits as the IRON-HYDRO-10: pH 5.0 to 9.0 and ORP above negative 170 millivolts
- Larger media bed reduces channelling on higher-demand wells
- Media life quoted at over five years with correct backwashing
- Ten year limited warranty on tanks, valves and bypasses
- No chemicals, no air pump and no consumable cartridges
- Bed volume is not published, so the sizing difference against the 10 cannot be checked
- One shared specification table covers all three sizes in the range
- No certification of any kind
- Product page uses the WTS-MAX-15 photography, a different system in the range
- Backwash cycle requires a drain connection and mains power
The APEC Water Systems IRON-HYDRO-15 is the mid-sized model in the oxidation filter range, using the same manganese dioxide media and the same published removal capacities as the IRON-HYDRO-10 in a larger bed. It is sized for wells feeding homes above the one to three bathroom band. A 20 model exists above it and was out of stock.
