We installed an iron removal filter system and need to know if the setup is correct. We have the feed of 10.000 l, but in the outlet we get only 3.000 l. The feed water pH is 7 and the treated water pH is 9.5.The system components are set in the following order: Filter feed pump Iron removal filter Pressure sand filter Activated carbon filter Chlorine disinfection system Is this setup correct or not? The iron removal filter (IRF) has the pressure of 5 bar and activated carbon filter (ACF) outlet has the pressure of 1 bar. Why is there such a high pH difference? Please explain and give advice about our system setup and what changes need to be made.

Sorry to raise such a simple point but are you sure that the pH instruments and flow meters are reading correctly?

Filter feed pump
Iron removal filter
Pressure sand filter
Activated carbon filter
Chlorine disinfection system

Is this setup correct or not?

The iron removal filter (IRF) has the pressure of 5 bar and activated carbon filter (ACF) outlet has the pressure of 1 bar.

Why is there such a high pH difference?

Please explain and give advice about our system setup and what changes need to be made.
