only slightly off topic, since I'm off grid, I don't have oodles of power to run large pumps for backwashing filters.
I seasonally get iron in my water, and need to remove it before the main filtering. Research I've done shows that "greensand" style filters can trap the iron and then be backwashed with potassium permanganate and then returned to use. (much like a water softener and brine)
I have limited power and pressure (and water) for backwashing, and wondering if anyone has solved an issue like this ?
I'm hoping a mild pressure and let it soak overnight might work for the backwash/recharge ?
