🌀 KDF Process Media – Advanced Redox Water Filtration
KDF® process media are industry-leading copper-zinc alloys engineered for powerful redox (oxidation/reduction) performance in water treatment. Unlike standard filtration, KDF media not only improves water clarity and taste but also helps reduce heavy metals, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, and other impurities while controlling scale, bacteria, and algae buildup. Environmentally responsible and chemical-free, KDF is widely used in whole house systems, commercial filtration, cartridge filters, and specialty applications. Trusted worldwide, KDF media extends the life of carbon filters, enhances system efficiency, and delivers cleaner, fresher water in every application.
🟤 KDF 85 Process Media – 2 lbs
KDF 85 is a premium-grade copper-zinc redox filtration media engineered to tackle some of the toughest water challenges. Designed for whole house systems and specialty filters, KDF 85 helps reduce dissolved iron, hydrogen sulfide, and heavy metals such as lead, mercury, nickel, and chromium. It also inhibits scale, algae, and bacterial growth, making it the ideal pre-treatment or companion to GAC, ion exchange, and carbon block filters. Built on advanced oxidation/reduction (redox) principles, KDF 85 delivers reliable, chemical-free water treatment that’s efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective. Compact tank sizing requirements make it perfect for residential or commercial installations where performance and economy matter most.
🟡 KDF 55 Process Media – 2 lbs
KDF 55 is a high-purity copper-zinc redox media trusted worldwide for superior chlorine and contaminant reduction. It consistently eliminates up to 99% of free chlorine, transforming harsh municipal water into clean, fresh-tasting water. Used as a pre-treatment to carbon, KDF 55 extends carbon life, improves performance, and suppresses bacterial growth within the bed. This media is widely applied in cartridge filters, granular activated carbon beds, and whole-house systems, making it an essential component in both residential and commercial water treatment. KDF 55 provides reliable protection for appliances, plumbing, and drinking water systems while ensuring an eco-friendly, chemical-free solution that lasts.
⚖️ What is 4 lbs of KDF Media Good For?
-
Point-of-Entry (Whole House): 4 lbs of KDF is typically enough to fill smaller cartridge-style filters or serve as a pre-treatment layer in whole house systems (1–2 bathrooms).
-
Point-of-Use (Under-Sink / Inline): Perfect for refillable cartridges or inline filters where chlorine, taste, odor, and metals need reduction.
🔄 Why Mix KDF 55 and KDF 85?
-
KDF 55 Strengths → Excels at reducing chlorine, taste, odor, and controlling bacteria in municipal water.
-
KDF 85 Strengths → Targets iron, hydrogen sulfide (“rotten egg” smell), and heavy metals in well water.
-
Blended Together → You get a broad-spectrum filtration media that tackles both city water (chlorine, taste, odor) and well water (iron, sulfide, metals).
-
Added Benefits → Extends carbon filter life, improves system efficiency, and provides balanced water treatment without needing separate tanks.
