Remove Heavy Metals And Inorgancis From Your Drinking Water

KDF is the most widely used heavy metal reducing media in the US. KDF treatment makes some harmful contaminants change into harmless components. Intended for use outside of your water ionizer machine with an external filter housing.

The Intelifil KDF 55 TM/Granular Activated Carbon Cartridges have superior taste and odor removal capabilities.  The copper granular KDF in this cartridge specializes in the removal of inorganics, heavy metals and chlorine.  This leaves the black granular coconut shell activated carbon free to do what it does best, removing organic matter. These filters last at least 5x more than standard carbon block filters.

KDF media controls scale, bacteria and algae, even in hot water. KDF media causes cellular damage to microbiological organisms which can kill or inhibit any growth.

Removing heavy metals using KDF media
The water treatment industry has been using a compound called KDF for decades. KDF is by far the most widely used heavy metal reducing media in the US. KDF Fluid Treatment's unique combination of copper and zinc (Redox) creating 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. Some heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury and others, react to the medium's surface, thus being effectively removed from the water supply. The Redox reaction also helps to control bacteria growth.

Does this filter go inside of my ionizer? No, this is an external filter that requires an external housing. You can find the housings for this filter here. How do I use this filter once I get the housing? The filter housing that you'll use for this filter has either 1/4" or 3/8" quick-connect tube connectors (depending on which machine you have). All you need to do is cut the hose that goes from your faucet diverter to your ionizer's water inlet port, cutting the hose at an appropriate place. Then, the part of the hose that is coming from the faucet diverter goes into the "input" of the housing, and the hose that is going to the water inlet of your ionizer connects to the "output" connector of the filter housing. The water then will travel through the filter cartridge, filtering out heavy metals, and then go into your ionizer. Will the filter effect my water pressure going to the ionizer? There is no noticeable drop in water pressure when using this filter. How often do I need to change this filter? You would change this filter at least once per year, or 1500 gallons, whichever comes first. Which direction does this filter go into the housing? The filter has a specific shape that will only allow it to go into the housing in one direction. Be sure the rubber gasket and arrow on the filter are facing up towards the cap. What is KDF? Kinetic Degradation Fluxion (KDF) is a high-purity copper-zinc formulation that uses a basic process known as redox (oxidation/reduction) to remove chlorine, lead, mercury, iron, and hydrogen sulfide from water supplies. What is KDF 55? Was designed specifically for removing or reducing chlorine and water-soluble heavy metals. It controls scale, bacteria and algae, even in hot water. How does KDF work? In short, the KDF redox process works by exchanging electrons with contaminants. This "give and take" of electrons converts many contaminants into harmless components. During this reaction, electrons are transferred between molecules, and new elements are created. Some harmful contaminants are changed into harmless components. Others are electrochemically bound to the KDF media. What contaminants does KDF remove? KDF process media will reduce or remove chlorine, iron, hydrogen sulfide, lead, mercury, calcium carbonate, magnesium, chromium, bacteria, algae, and fungi. Redox media removes up to 98% of water-soluble cations (positively-charged ions) of lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals. In most cases, more than 98% of chlorine is removed if operated within recommended flow rates. Will the KDF filter systems add any toxic substances to the water? KDF process media are completely safe. KDF media meet EPA and Food and Drug Administration standards for levels of zinc and copper in potable water, so the process is not toxic and does not cause any adverse side effects. You may not even realize that KDF process media are working for you. KDF media is the core product of many filtration systems, and can be used in conjunction with other products to provide superior purification.
