KDF 85 Process Media is a high-purity copper-zinc filtration granule designed to effectively treat well water and municipal supplies. Using a patented redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction, KDF 85 reduces iron, hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg odor), heavy metals, and controls the growth of bacteria, algae, and fungi — without adding chemicals to your water.
This eco-friendly and recyclable media is highly efficient, requiring only modest tank sizes, which makes it a cost-effective choice for homeowners and system designers alike.
Key Benefits of KDF 85 Media
-
✅ Iron & Sulfur Reduction – Eliminates metallic taste, staining, and foul hydrogen sulfide odors.
-
✅ Heavy Metal Removal – Reduces up to 99% of dissolved lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, and other harmful metals.
-
✅ Bacteria & Algae Control – Prevents biofilm buildup inside filters, extending the life of your filtration system.
-
✅ Versatile Applications – Ideal for GAC beds, ion exchange resins, carbon block filters, inline carbon filters, and whole house systems.
-
✅ Eco-Friendly & Chemical-Free – Uses natural redox reactions; safe, recyclable, and environmentally responsible.
How It Works
KDF 85 uses a copper-zinc alloy to create an electrochemical reaction as water passes through.
-
Free chlorine is changed into harmless chloride ions.
-
Iron and hydrogen sulfide are reduced, removing unpleasant odors and staining.
-
Heavy metals are captured by plating out onto the media’s surface.
-
Microorganism growth is naturally controlled without toxic additives.
