Description
IN-STORE PICKUP ONLY
The Zentec® Premium Air Injection Hybrid Capsulate Filter is a chemical-free whole-home filtration system designed for well water. It combines an air injection system with specialized Zentec® hybrid filtration media to oxidize and remove iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulphide (sulphur/“rotten egg” odour) from the water supply.
The system is designed to provide cleaner, clearer, better-smelling water without requiring chlorine, potassium permanganate, or other chemical additives.
Key Features
- Chemical-Free Operation: Uses air injection rather than chemical oxidizers.
- Iron Removal: Helps reduce iron and orange/rust-coloured staining.
- Manganese Removal: Helps reduce manganese and associated staining.
- Sulphur Removal: Reduces hydrogen sulphide responsible for the familiar “rotten egg” smell.
- Air Injection System Included: Introduces air into the treatment process to oxidize contaminants.
- Hybrid Capsulate Media: Specialized filtration media captures the oxidized contaminants.
- Fully Programmable Control Valve: Allows regeneration and backwash cycles to be adjusted.
- High-Flow Backwashing: Helps thoroughly clean the media bed.
- Quiet Operation: Designed for residential applications.
- Low Operating Cost: Uses a 12V air injection system and is designed to cost less than approximately $3 per year to operate.
Contaminant Reduction
The Premium Zentec® system is designed to remove up to 8.0 ppm of iron, manganese, and sulphur, depending on the system size and water conditions. Available configurations provide approximately 7–20 GPM of flow depending on filter size.

How It Works
The system first introduces air into the water, providing oxygen to oxidize dissolved iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulphide. The oxidized contaminants are then captured by the Zentec® Hybrid Capsulate media. During the automatic backwash cycle, the accumulated contaminants are flushed to drain and the media is cleaned for continued operation.
Ideal Applications
The Zentec® Premium is ideal for homes with well water experiencing:
- Iron staining
- Manganese
- Hydrogen sulphide
- Rotten-egg odours
- Discoloured water
- Iron-related staining on laundry, fixtures, and appliances
Maintenance
The system is designed for automatic operation, including programmed backwashing. For best performance:
- Have your well water professionally tested before selecting the system.
- Ensure adequate water pressure and flow for backwashing.
- Keep the drain line clear.
- Check the air injection components during routine servicing.
- Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule.
Why Choose the Zentec® Premium?
The Zentec® Premium Air Injection Hybrid Capsulate Filter provides an effective, low-maintenance solution for challenging well-water conditions. By combining air injection and specialized filtration media, it can tackle iron, manganese, and sulphur without routinely adding chemicals to the system.
For homeowners looking for chemical-free whole-home well-water filtration, it provides an excellent combination of performance, automation, and low operating costs.
