KDF is known to kill algae and fungi, control bacteria growth, and remove chlorine, pesticides, organic matter, rust, unpleasant taste and odour, hydrogen sulfide, iron, lead, nickel, chromium, cadmium, calcium, aluminium, mercury, arsenic, and other organic compounds.
KDF water filtration media is a high-purity alloy of both copper and zinc and is used along with Granulated Activated Carbon to maximise the filters efficiency.
Small particles of carbon called carbon "fines" are present in a new GAC filter and should be generously flushed when first installed to wash away the carbon fines.
Manufactured from FDA grade materials.
