The Fleck 2510 AiQ Air Injection Greensand Plus Iron Filter removes up to 7 ppm iron and up to 5 ppm hydrogen sulfide ("rotten egg" odor) from well water, along with manganese. It pairs the Pentair Fleck 2510 AIO valve and new AiQ controller with Greensand Plus media, and it replaces the discontinued 2510 SXT greensand filter.
Air injection does the oxidizing, so there's no chlorine or potassium permanganate to feed. An air pocket at the top of the tank converts dissolved iron and sulfur into particles, and the Greensand Plus bed catches them. A daily backwash flushes the captured iron to drain and draws in fresh air.
Warranty: 5 years on the Fleck 2510 AiQ valve head and 10 years on the tank. See the full Fleck 2510 AiQ spec sheet (PDF).
For hard water, install a water softener after the iron filter.

This air injection greensand filter removes up to 7 ppm iron and up to 5 ppm hydrogen sulfide, the cause of the "rotten egg" smell. It also reduces manganese, arsenic and radium.
No. Air injection handles the oxidation, so there's no chemical feed pump or regenerant to buy.
Greensand Plus works from pH 6.2 to 8.5 and holds a lot of iron between backwashes. Katalox Light covers a wider pH range (5.8–10.5), filters to under 3 microns and needs a lower backwash rate. If your water is below pH 6.2, choose Katalox Light.
Yes. Pentair has discontinued the 2510 SXT. The 2510 AiQ AIO valve replaces it, with a full-color display, USB-C programming and a modular powerhead.
Use the bathroom count in the size options as a starting point. Then check that your well pump can deliver the backwash rate: about 6.5 GPM for the 10" tanks, 9.4 GPM for the 12x52 and 11.1 GPM for the 13x54.
An iron filter doesn't remove hardness. If your water is hard, install a water softener after the iron filter.
5 years on the Fleck 2510 AiQ valve head and 10 years on the tank.
