A naturally mined ore, CQ-PY ® is a mineral form of manganese dioxide which has been used in water treatment for more than 75 years. CQ-PY ® is a granular filtration media for hydrogen sulfide, iron and manganese reduction.
CQ-PY ® functions as a catalyst, but itself remains relatively unchanged. CQ-PY ® works on a principle whereby the hydrogen sulfide, iron and manganese are oxidized and trapped on the media while simple backwashing cleans the bed. No chemical regeneration is required, nothing is imparted into the drinking water and CQ-PY ® has a high capacity for low contaminant concentrations. CQ-PY ® can be used in conjunction with aeration, chlorination, ozone or other pretreatment methods for difficult applications. Chlorine or other oxidants accelerate the catalytic reaction.
Because of its heavy weight, it is very important that CQ-PY ® filters are backwashed properly to insure adequate bed expansion and continued service life.

Service Flow Rate
Service flow rate is the maximum gallons per minute recommended for obtaining excellent water quality. Exceeding the service flow rate will cause a reduction in the product water quality.
Backwash Flow Rate
Backwash flow rate is the minimum gallons per minute recommended for proper reclassification of the media or resin. Insufficient backwash flow rate will cause inadequate media or resin reclassification and, over time, may reduce its effectiveness.
Calculating Your Flow Rate
You will need a watch with a second hand and a 1 or 5 gallon container to measure your flow rate with the instructions below.
- Using the bathtub as the measuring point, open BOTH the hot and cold water faucets completely (If you have a well water supply, wait until the pump kicks on before continuing.)
- Place either a 1 or 5 gallon container under the faucet and measure the amount of time it takes to fill the container in seconds.
- Refer to the chart below. Find the row on the left that contains the size of the container you used to fill with water, either 1 or 5 gallons.
- Then, find the column across the top that is closest to the number of seconds in took to fill the container.
- The value in the table at the intersection of the row and column you determined is your flow rate in gallons per minute.
