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.

Patented KDF process media consist of high-purity copper-zinc formulations. These substances exchange electrons or bond with chlorine and other metals contained in the water to create harmless substances.

Through this basic chemical process known as redox (oxidation/reduction), KDF process media work behind the scenes to rid your water of chlorine, lead, mercury, iron and hydrogen sulfide. The redox reaction also inhibits the growth of bacteria, algae, and fungi. As an added benefit, KDF media reduce lime scale, mold, and fungi in your tub or shower.

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. KDF media are certified by the NSF Standard 61 and Standard 42 — Your assurance that they meet public safety standards.

KDF media are environmentally sound and 100 percent recyclable, but refer to the instructions enclosed with your  filter or system for proper disposal, as different manufacturers combine KDF process media with other filtration technologies.
