KDF Filters

---

A KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) filter uses a process called redox (reduction-oxidation) to purify water. Here's a detailed breakdown of how it works:

1. Filter Media: The filter media consists of high-purity copper-zinc granules. These granules create a redox reaction when water passes through them.
2. Redox Reaction: In the redox process, electrons are transferred between molecules. This chemical reaction changes contaminants into harmless substances. For example, chlorine is converted into chloride, which is a benign substance.
3. Contaminant Removal: The redox reaction effectively removes or reduces a variety of contaminants, including:
   
   • Chlorine: Converts chlorine into chloride, reducing its harmful effects and improving taste and odor.
   • Heavy Metals: Removes metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium by changing them into insoluble forms that can be filtered out.
   • Hydrogen Sulfide: Converts hydrogen sulfide into insoluble sulfide, which can be filtered out, eliminating the rotten egg smell.
   • Iron: Converts soluble ferrous iron into insoluble ferric iron, which can be filtered out.
   • Microorganisms: Inhibits the growth of bacteria, algae, and fungi by disrupting their cellular processes.

Combination with Other Filters: KDF filters are often used in combination with other filtration methods to enhance overall water purification.
