FAQs
The BIF Series dual media tank water filters can remove iron, manganese, and sulphur from your well water.
Note: There are three different types of BIF Series filters: BIF, BIFMN, and BIFCC. It is critical to know the water characteristics before determining which unit will best deal with your water issues.
Each of the three BIF Series configurations has different capabilities and operating parameters:
ALL UNITS:
Maximum TDS: 2000 ppm
Maximum Sulphates: 500 ppm
Maximum Hardness: 75 gpg
Maximum Tannins: 0.0 ppm
BIF:
Maximum Iron: 30 ppm combined (ferrous + ferric)
Maximum Manganese: 0.0 ppm
Maximum Hydrogen Sulphide: 1.0 ppm
pH: 7.0 – 8.5
BIFMN:
Maximum Iron: 30 ppm combined (ferrous + ferric)
Maximum Manganese: 1.0 ppm
Maximum Hydrogen Sulphide: 5.0 ppm
pH: 6.5 – 7.5
BIFCC (Catalytic Carbon):
Maximum Iron: 0.0 ppm combined (ferrous + ferric)
Maximum Manganese: 0.0 ppm
Maximum Hydrogen Sulphide: 5.0 ppm
pH: 7.0 – 8.5
The BIF Series systems work by adding oxygen to the incoming water by passing it through a bubble of compressed air. The water is then passed through a special filter bed to remove the contaminant(s).
The special media not only increases the pH of the water to enhance iron removal, but also acts as a physical barrier to trap iron precipitate.
No chemicals are used in the entire process making it clean, environmentally-friendly, and low maintenance. No mess!
Yes! The best way to know which BIF Series water filtration you need is to perform a test to know the characteristics of your water. We test it onsite as things like pH and iron parameters can change when exposed to oxygen. Our tests will provide better numbers for those factors than a lab test.

Yes. Like a water softener, the media bed has a certain capacity for removing contaminants. Once that threshold is reached, the media bed needs to be cleaned out of these contaminants so it can go through the cycle again.
Unlike a water softener, the BIF Series will also replenish its supply of oxygen during the regeneration process. Because of the nature of the contaminants being removed, a regeneration will usually occur every three to four days depending upon water usage and the level of contaminants.
Hydrotech, the manufacturer of the BIF Series, has four different valve configurations. As a company, Pristine Water Solutions has elected to exclusively use its top-rated valve—the 89 Series valve.
The 89 Series is Hydrotech’s highest efficiency control valve. Its 80-character touch pad LCD display is simple to use. It has 1″ valve porting and high capacity. It is extremely efficient with its water usage during regeneration (and for salt usage for softeners).
It carries an NSF/ANSI 44 CSA B483.1 certification and a 7-year warranty.
