This configuration is honest in a way most iron filtration marketing is not: Express Water publishes the limit as 0.2 ppm iron and 0.05 ppm manganese, and a buyer who tests their well first will know immediately whether it applies. Below those figures, Zeomangan in a cartridge is a low-maintenance answer to nuisance staining with no backwash, no drain and no air injection. Above them - and most iron wells run several ppm - the cartridge blinds off quickly and this is the wrong product entirely, which is where the four-month replacement reports in the whole house range likely originate. The stack also handles chlorine, chloramine and hydrogen sulfide alongside, which is a useful combination for a mixed problem. As with everything else in the whole house range there is no NSF certification and the warranty is one year on a $548 fixture.
- Express Water publishes the iron and manganese limits rather than hiding them
- No backwash, no drain line and no air injection compressor to maintain
- Sediment first stage protects the oxidising media
- Also addresses chlorine, chloramine and hydrogen sulfide
- Same 15 GPM flow through 1 in ports as the rest of the family
- 0.2 ppm iron ceiling is well below what most iron wells actually carry
- Cartridge oxidation blinds off fast above the rated limit - this is not a backwashing iron filter
- No NSF certification
- One-year warranty on a $548 fixture
- 63 lbs and 29.25 in tall
- Requires a well test before purchase to know whether it applies at all
The Iron and Manganese configuration uses sediment, a Zeomangan oxidising media cartridge and activated carbon block. Express Water rates the media for up to 0.2 ppm iron and 0.05 ppm manganese, which is a low ceiling for well water. Rated at 0.25 gallons per second with 1 in connections, a filter set life of up to 100,000 gallons or six to twelve months, and no backwash cycle.
