Does your water stink and or stain?

By Using The Air We Breathe REACTR™ Removes Foul Water Odor, Taste and Stains

REACTR™ Water Treatment Systems represent an advanced innovation in the treatment of water using a natural aeration process that...

• Improves bad taste, odor and color

• Eliminates sediment problems

• Stops red iron stains & sulfur odor

All without the use of chemicals!

Air efficiently mixes with water and permits iron particles to be trapped and sulfur smell to be exhausted. You get clear water that tastes and smells fresh!

 The REACTR™ design defines efficiency. The aeration tank has a full 1" opening for installation before the pressure tank. A well pump exerts its full energy potential to push water and pull air to naturally treat foul tasting and smelling water.

An ingenious manifold design on the top of the REACTR™ tank combines air injection into the water and free air venting of excess pressure and foul odors. These innovations provide advantages competing aeration systems can't match.

Once the contaminants have thoroughly oxidized they can be trapped by the REACTR™ Filter filled with REACTR™ Blend Media. REACTR™ Blend is a proportioned mix of three proven filter medias. They provide a spectrum of filtering capabilities for a wide range of water problems.
