Description

THREE STAGE FILTER SET KDF 55 FILTER - KDF Media when used in conjunction with the finest grade Carbon, gives you the best water filter media to eliminate contaminants in your water supply. KDF Fluid Treatment’s unique combination of copper and zinc creates an electro-chemical reaction, this electro chemical reaction makes this medium bacteriostatic. . 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. KDF water filter media extend the life of granular activated carbon (GAC) while protecting the carbon bed against fouling by bacterial growth. Because KDF does most of the heavy lifting in removing contaminants, the carbon lasts much longer. The carbon is used then to mainly "polish" the water to give it a sparkling taste. SED IMENT FILTER - All of our sediment filters use multi-gradient spun polypropylene filter cartridges. These cartridges use the entire depth of their media by trapping the largest sediment particles on the outside of the filter, then gradually stepping down the size of the particles they will reject as the water moves closer to the core of the filter. The result is longer filter life, greater dirt-holding capacity, higher flow rates, and remarkably low pressure drop. The 100% pure polypropylene media is highly resistant to bacteria and chemicals, making this an excellent choice for both well water and municipal water treatment applications. CARBON BLOCK FILTER - With carbon block filters, water is forced through the pores of the densely compacted carbon block, where a combination of mechanical filtration, electrokinetic adsorption, and physical/ chemical adsorption take place to reduce a wide range of contaminants. Solid Carbon Block technology can reduce chlorine, taste and odor problems, particulate matter, and a wide range of contaminants of health concern -- cysts (cryptosporidium and giardia), VOCs (pesticides, herbicides, and chemicals), certain endocrine disrupters, Trihalomethanes (cancer-causing disinfection by-products), heavy metals (lead, mercury), turbidity, MTBE, Chloramines and asbestos. Solid carbon block filters do not remove healthful, naturally-occurring minerals, require no electricity, and do not add salt or silver to the water Benefits of KDF Process Media Significantly extend the life of granular activated carbon Are recyclable Effectively remove chlorine and heavy metals and control microorganisms Are available in four granular styles, each designed for a specific need Outperform silver-impregnated carbons Require no EPA registration, thus less red tape At times due to supplier contraints, color of housing may vary, the quality of the product remains the same.
