How the HUM Water Tannin Filter Works
The tannin filter operates similarly to a water softener, using specialized resin media and a regeneration cycle:
- Tannin Adsorption: As water flows through the tank, tannins are attracted to and held by the resin media.
- Automatic Regeneration: On a programmed schedule, the system regenerates using a salt-based brine solution to flush tannins off the resin and restore its capacity.
- Backwash & Rinse: The system backwashes and rinses to remove captured contaminants and excess brine before returning to service.
This process allows the system to continuously treat tannins without disposable cartridges.
