Detailed Description:
The Max water Iron Resin is a high-capacity iron and manganese reducing replacement water filter cartridge designed for whole-house water filtration systems. To adapt its specifications and description for your Max Water brand, consider the following:
The most common methods of operation are continuous regeneration, which is recommended for predominantly iron water.
Note: Customers are advised to use a "sediment filter" as a pre-filter and a "CTO filter" as a post-filter to extend the life of the "Iron Manganese" replacement cartridge as the Iron-Manganese filter woven gets clogged fast if not protected by a sediment filter first. Also, customers might experience a slight pressure drop in water output (the minimum inlet pressure for the iron-manganese system is 60 psi). Rest assured this is normal and a part of the functioning of the media cartridge.

By incorporating these details, you can present a comprehensive and brand-aligned product description for your Max Water website.
Please follow the following steps to prevent clogging and potentially damaging the filter.
Step 1: After installing filters in the filter housings make sure that the outflow valve on the system is CLOSED.
Step 2: Open the main inflowing valve HALFWAY to limit the incoming water while holding down one of the pressure-release valves on the system to purge any air.
Step 3: OPEN the outflowing valve as well as the faucet nearest the system for 5-10 minutes, or until the water runs clear, to flush any fines from the filters.
Step 4: You're done! Turn off the faucet, open the main inflowing valve all the way, and your system is ready to go.
Caution:To prevent and avoid rapid buildups in the pre-woven filter and ensure that the Iron filter has a longer lifespan from getting clogged quickly and causing a drop in pressure throughout your entire home, it's important to always install this filter after the sediment filter.
Additionally, it's recommended to follow this filter with either a CTO carbon filter to effectively combat any unpleasant odors that may arise once it starts collecting iron or hydrogen sulfide. Without a carbon filter after the iron filter, there is no effective way to address the issue of foul odors.

Material Safety Data Sheet
Hazards Identification:
- Inhalation: Excessive concentrations of nuisance dust may cause nuisance conditions such as coughing, sneezing, and nasal irritation.
- Ingestion: Non-toxic. Large oral doses may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
- Skin Contact: Not expected to be a health hazard from skin exposure. May cause mild irritation and redness.
- Eye Contact: No information was found, but presumed to cause mechanical irritation.
- Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
First Aid Measures
- Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty.
- Ingestion: Not expected to require first aid measures. If large amounts were swallowed, give water to drink and get medical advice.
- Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

- Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Accidental Release Measure
Ventilate the area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.
Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, and stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Personal Respirators(NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half-facepiece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better

There are two main types of iron in water:
- Ferric Iron, is insoluble and visible to the naked eye. Also known as “Red Water Iron”.
- Ferrous / Soluble Iron dissolves in water and is invisible. Also known as “Clear Water Iron”.
If you are dealing with Ferric and Ferrous Iron, an Iron Manganese Filter/System is HIGHLY recommended. It will oxidize dissolved iron into particulate, ready for removal from your water.
Be aware that Organic Material, Trapped Air, Upstream Pollution, or a new water source can also discolor your Water, so in the case that an Iron Filter does not immediately solve your water issues, please be sure to address those potential sources as well.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY ON HOW TO SET UP YOUR IRON MANGANESE CTO / GAC CARBON FILTER / SYSTEM WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO OTHER FILTERS.
Installing the system immediately with all 3 Filters loaded in will cause the 3rd Stage filter to be covered with iron powder, also known as “red water iron” so when handling Iron Manganese systems, pre-preparation for the system is very important.
First-Time Installation for Iron Manganese Systems
For the first time using the filter, load the sediment filter into the 1st stage housing (right), and load the iron-manganese filter in the 2nd stage housing (middle). Leave the CTO Filter out and leave the 3rd stage housing (left) empty.
Connect the system to your house and open the mainline for 10 MINUTES, opening the nearest faucet to flush out the residue of red finery/powder.
Once the water coming out of the faucet is clear without a reddish color, your System is ready for the CTO Filter to be installed into the 3rd Stage Filter Housing. Stop the mainline, install the CTO Filter, and open the mainline again for 5 MINUTES, opening the nearest faucet to flush out the residue of carbon block remaining powder.
NOTE: Max Water is not responsible for any system/filter damages incurred by not following the above guidelines.
