Water Treatment Products 

Des Ryan Solutions stock a range of water conditioners including pH 

Correction Units, Sand/Turbidity Filters, Activated Carbon Filters, Hydrogen 

Sulphide Removal & Nitrate Removal Filters. These Water Conditioners are 

available in varying sizes depending on the application and with or without 

Backwashing Controllers. 

Des Ryan Solutions stock an extensive range of filter housings & filter 

cartridges for various applications. Filters available for sand, sediment, 

clay, taste & odours, bacteria, rust etc. They are available in disposable and 

washable cartridges from 5 to 150 microns. 

A self-cleaning water filter will save you time and money that would otherwise 

be spent cleaning and replacing cartridges. Rinsing lasts only 4-15 seconds 

and uses less than 5 litres of water without interrupting the main flow. Self 

Cleaning Filters are available in Automatic and Manual and can filter to 60 

microns. 

Ultraviolet water disinfection is a treatment of drinking water that 

uses ultraviolet radiations in order to inactivate microorganisms. The 

Sterilight Silver Series is ideally suited for point of use water treatment 

to kill bacteria including coliform and e.coli, viruses, cryptosporidium, 

giardia, and a wide range of other microbiological contaminants. 

The very successful 5-stage under sink reverse osmosis system comes 

with or without a pressurizing feed pump. This system will remove 

lead, fluoride, nitrate and bacteria. It is important to remember, if the 

feed pressure is poor, always look for the pump option. 

Under sink water filters are typically used where cabinet space is available under 

the kitchen sink and a permanent installation is desired. The Everpure drinking 

water system removes 99.9% of potential tap water contaminants and removes 

all off-tastes & odours. It is independently Tested and Certified by the National 

Sceince Federation (NSF). It also comes with its own independent faucet. 

Our suppliers stock only the highest grade water conditioning resins for 

applications such as Water Softening, Iron/Manganese removal, Nitrate 

removal, Taste & Odour removal, Organic removal, Turbidity Filtration, 

Tannin removal and pH Correction.

The idea behind a water softener is simple. The calcium and magnesium ions in the water 

are replaced with sodium ions. Since sodium does not precipitate out in pipes or react badly 

with soap, both of the problems of hard water are eliminated. To do the ion replacement, 

the water in the house runs through a bed of small plastic beads or through a chemical 

matrix called zeolite. The beads or zeolite are covered with sodium ions. As the water flows 

past the sodium ions, they swap places with the calcium and magnesium ions. Eventually, 

the beads or zeolite contain nothing but calcium and magnesium and no sodium, and at 

this point they stop softening the water. It is then time to regenerate the beads or zeolite. 

Regeneration involves soaking the beads or zeolite in a stream of sodium ions. Salt is 

sodium chloride, so the water softener mixes up a very strong brine solution and flushes 

it through the zeolite or beads (this is why you load up a water softener with salt). The 

strong brine displaces all of the calcium and magnesium that has built up in the zeolite or

Iron / Manganese Removal 

Iron and Manganese are commonly found in Irish groundwater. 

Next to hardness, the presence of iron is probably the most 

common water problem faced by consumers in Ireland. 

Clothing washed in water containing excessive iron may 

become stained a brownish colour. The taste of beverages, 

such as tea and coffee, may also be affected by iron. Manganese 

produces a brownish colour in laundered clothing, leaves 

black particles on fixtures and as with iron, affects the taste 

of beverages, including coffee and tea. Over the years our 

suppliers have developed effective and inexpensive methods 

of Iron/Manganese Removal and below we have outlined these 

options: 

Option 1: 

Ion Exchange using Crystal Right 

Crystal Right works by an ion exchange process, which removes iron, manganese 

and hardness. The minimum pH requirement is 6.0 and Crystal Right will raise 

the pH in these acidic waters. Crystal Right works at its best on clear water, 

i.e. when the iron/manganese are in a dissolved form. Crystal Right will also 

remove hardness with no extra treatment. The media bed can be sanitised with 

chlorine from time to time. The regeneration process is exactly the same as 

that used in a water softener and requires regeneration with salt. There are two 

types of Crystal Right. CR100 is used where the pH is between 6 and 7 and will 

increase the pH. CR200 is used where the pH is 7 or above. Crystal Right has a 

number of advantages over conventional systems in that pH correction, iron/ 

manganese removal and softening can all be addressed in a single process. 

Option 2: 

Oxidation & Vortech Filtration 

Filox & Birm Sand are relatively inexpensive materials which can be used for iron 

and manganese removal by oxidation. Both media act as a catalyst to promote 

the reaction between the oxygen and iron dissolved in the water. No chemical 

regeneration and therefore need never be replaced. Since the Filox/Birm media 

are so dense and heavy, higher & more regular backwash rates are required to 

clean the media. Filox may be used within the 5.0 - 9.0 pH range where as to use 

Birm a pH of 6.8 is required. 



Multi-Boost Water System 

The Booster Pumpset for houses/apartments is ideal where there is low mains water pressure and where the pressure 

fluctuates. It is electronically controlled through a flow switch unit which starts the pump automatically when a tap is 

opened. It is efficiently designed to ensure minimal noise and low running costs. 

FEATURES: 

• Non-corrosive holding tank 

• Protective lid enclosure as standard 

• Ball cock to control water flow to tank 

• Pressure pump (fully submerged in water)

• Ideal if mains pressure is low or 

inconsistent 

• Good storage capacity in dust/ 

vermin proof container 

• Pump is submerged in water 

• No problems with leaks or priming 

• Very silent operation 

• Minimal installation requirements 

• Multiple tanks - inter-connection
