Description
Introducing KDF 85 filtration media, a catalyst for unparalleled water purification. Crafted from a high-purity copper/zinc alloy, KDF 85 initiates a transformative oxidation/reduction (redox) process, converting soluble ferrous cations into insoluble ferric hydroxide. This innovative technology, backed by rigorous scientific principles, achieves exceptional iron removal rates of 98% or better, facilitated by dissolved oxygen in the water.
Advantages:
- Catalyst-driven iron removal, offering superior performance in water treatment applications.
- Highly effective against copper, which undergoes oxidation, and sulfur, which undergoes reduction.
- Forms insoluble copper sulfide, easily removable through backwashing, ensuring prolonged media lifespan.
- Maintains optimal water quality, safeguarding against the detrimental effects of iron contamination.
- Compatible with existing filtration systems, enhancing their efficiency and longevity.
