Our Revolutionary Design Means Efficient
Operation
The Iron Curtain is unlike old fashioned iron filters.
Its unique operation reduces costs and maintenance while delivering years of
trouble-free service.
The Iron Curtain
- Requires no chemicals or salt for operation
or regeneration
- Requires no air injectors, venturis or
micronizers
- Removes dissolved and precipated iron in high
concentrations
- Automatically increases pH of acid water on
type 'A" Systems
Operation is simple. Mineral rich water is
forced through an aeration tank which converts dissolved minerals such as iron,
manganese and sulfur into physical particles. These tiny mineral particles then
circulate in the system for enough time to grow to a size where they are
trapped in the filter. This way the highest level of dissolved minerals can be
easily removed from your water.
No Obligation Water Analysis
There
is a Hellenbrand Iron Curtain Filtration System for virtually any
residential or commercial need. Hanson Soft Water will be happy to test your
water to determine the best system for you. Always have your water tested
before you purchase.
IRON and ODOR SYSTEMS
Hanson Soft Water is proud to offer the Hellenbrand Iron Curtain® IC-2.0. designed to
solve today's most serious iron and sulphur water problems. This quality iron
filter reliably eliminates the toughest iron, sulphur odor, foul taste and rust
stains. The IC-2.0 is the latest in Iron Curtain® technology with
improvements over the already outstanding performance of the origianal Iron
Curtain®. It will also protect appliances, water heaters and water
softeners by reducing iron build-up. The Iron Curtain® requires absolutely
no chemicals or routine maintenance and ensures pure, clean, odorless
water.
Nothing is worse than ruining your clothes in
rusty water except maybe taking a shower in water that smells like rotten eggs.
The Iron Curtain® eliminates both problems. This system is not a water
softener, however. You will still need a quality water softener to have soft,
iron and odor free water. The Iron Curtain® does such a nice job of
cleaning up the smell, appearance and taste of the water that many people
discontinue buying bottled water.
Why should I buy an Iron Curtain iron
filter?
If you are experiencing foul odors, stains, iron or rust in
your water you may need an Iron Curtain. There are many different products on
the market that claim to solve iron problems. Unfortunately, most of these are
designed as a point of use filter-in other words they are designed
for use on only one faucet. Those products will not solve the problem when used
as a whole house filter. Still other products that are designed as whole house
filters may not last with the heavier iron we experience in our
water.
What makes an Iron Curtain iron filter
different from other iron filters?
Virtually every iron filter sold as
a whole house filter has either carbon or birm sand as the filter media to
remove the iron. Carbon filters have a life span of up to 5 years and require
frequent chemical or air injection to work properly. Carbon may not always work
on all types of iron and is very expensive to replace when it is expelled. Birm
sand as well as other types of sand filters require heavy oxidizing agents to
be able to remove iron. This process of oxidizing is used to make a large
enough particle of iron so that it can be trapped with sand. The problem with
this process is that the sand or media is all one size and will start to trap
the iron as soon as it gets in the filter. This causes the iron to plug up the
top half of the filter and reduces pressure prematurely.
Iron Curtain filters have a unique process
involving two tanks. One is an air tank used for oxidizing and the other has
layers of special minerals designed to remove smell, color, rust and iron
without the use of chemical oxidizers. The removal tank is staged with
different sizes of mineral, larger mineral on top and gradually smaller mineral
toward the bottom. This allows all of the bed to be used and helps prevent
premature fouling. This gradient mineral process was patented more than ten
years ago by Hellenbrand Water Conditioners, Inc. and is exclusive to the Iron
Curtain product.
