KDF process media, original known as Kinetic Degradation Fluxion, are high-purity, granulated copper and zinc-based alloys that treat water through a process based upon the principle of redox (oxidation reduction). KDF’s unique combination of copper and zinc creates an electro-chemical reaction. During this reaction, electrons are transferred between molecules, and new elements are created. Some harmful contaminants are changed into harmless components. Free chlorine, for instance, is changed into benign, water-soluble chloride, which is then carried harmlessly through the water supply. Similarly, some heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury and others, react to plate out onto the medium’s surface, thus being effectively removed from the water supply.
There are many benefits to using KDF media. KDF media are 100% recyclable and contain no chemical additives. KDF will enhance performance, reduce maintenance, and extend the life of your current filtration system. They will also help control microorganisms by creating an environment that’s deadly to microorganisms and that interferes with the ability of many other microorganisms to function. KDF media will also help extend the life of granular activated carbon, a media that is often used in conjunction.
KDF media can be broken down into two (2) principle products: KDF 55 and KDF 85. KDF 55 granules are most effective in removing 99.9% of chlorine and water soluble heavy materials from point-of-use (POE) treatment systems of municipal water supplies. KDF 85 granules effectively reduce iron and hydrogen sulfide and can be used alone or to protect existing water filtration/purification technologies in POE treatment of groundwater supplies. There is also KDF-F (Fines), which can be incorporated into carbon blocks for chlorine removal, bacterial control, and similar applications.
