Description
KDF-GAC combination 10 inch filter – DOE
Coconut shell granular activated carbon (GAC) is used in combination with KDF media to significantly extend the life of filter cartridges. KDF55 media is a redox media that removes chlorine and reduces heavy metals. KDF 85 removes hydrogen sulfide and reduces iron by the redox process and filtration.
KDF short for Kinetic Degradation Fluxion Media is an artificial alloy of copper and zinc that has revolutionized water treatment. The copper in KDF has a positive charge while zinc has a negative, this results in an electrochemical oxidation-reduction reaction.
KDF is effective at removing or reducing the following
- Mercury
- Pesticides
- Arsenic
- liHydrogen sulfide
- Lead
- Chlorine
- Calcium
- Chromium
- Cadmium
- Aluminum
- Nickel
- Iron
- Rust
- Organic particles (thus removing smells and tastes)
- Limits growth or bacteria, algae, and fungi
KDF-GAC combination 10 inch filter – DOE
Inside the GAC Filters are high-quality granulated activated carbon, from coconut shells.
The granulated activated carbon replacement filter reduces the content of chlorine and chlorination by-products, as well as the concentration of heavy and non-ferrous metals, phenol, oil products and pesticides. It also improves the colour, taste and odour of water.
This cartridge is part of a 3-stage reverse osmosis filter system and makes up 1 of the stages of the water treatment process.
