Correct water temperature is important for obtaining properly dissolved potassium permanganate.
Tables based on permanganate solubility of 4 oz/gal at 50°F or 8 oz/gal at 72°F.
Float setting is based on distance between brine valve top body nut and the bottom of the float with the valve in the closed (float up) position.
All dimensions nearest 1/4 inch.
Iron and Manganese Removal
A recommended dose of 2 oz. to 6 oz. of potassium permanganate per cubic foot of manganese greensand is
suggested for regeneration. Correct water temperature is important in obtaining proper dissolving of potassium
permanganate. At 50°F (10°C), 4 oz. of potassium permanganate can dissolve in one gallon of water. At room
temperature 72°F (22°C), 8 oz. will dissolve in one gallon of water.
