CRYSTAL QUEST® CQ-IGS Iron & Manganese Reduction Media

Our specialized brown glauconite green sand formula provides exceptional performance for addressing challenging water quality issues. This premium CRYSTAL QUEST® CQ-IGS media effectively targets and reduces iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide through an advanced oxidation and filtration process.

Advanced Contaminant Reduction Technology

• Specialized Glauconite Formula: Carefully processed green sand with high manganese oxide content
• Multi-Contaminant Reduction: Effectively addresses iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide simultaneously
• Oxidation-Filtration Process: Converts soluble contaminants to insoluble precipitates for easy removal
• Self-Regenerating Capability: Maintains performance through proper backwashing procedures

How It Works

This sophisticated filtration media operates through a precise chemical process:

• Soluble iron and manganese are oxidized on contact with manganese oxides on the CQ-IGS granules
• Hydrogen sulfide is converted to insoluble sulfur precipitates through oxidation
• Resulting precipitates are then filtered and removed during regular backwashing

Maintenance Requirements

For optimal performance and extended media life:

• Implement vigorous backwashing when first placing the bed in service
• Maintain regular backwashing schedule before oxidation capacity is exhausted
• Avoid operating after oxidation capacity is depleted to prevent staining and reduced service life
