What is KDF 55?

KDF55 is an NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certified (that means its been through rigorous testing standards) water filtration media that is used in Hospitals, Restaurants, Municipal Water Treatment Facilities, and Homes across the United States. KDF55 was designed specifically for removing or reducing chlorine and water-soluble heavy metals. It controls scale, bacteria and algae, even in hot water.

KDF 55 process media can remove up to 99% of water-soluble lead, mercury, nickel, chromium and other dissolved metals. KDF55 is effective in controlling the buildup of bacteria making them ideal for use in GAC (granular Activated Carbon) media beds.

This Patented KDF55 Process Media is 100% recyclable and contains no chemical additives making it a green product. And using KDF55 with carbon eliminates the need for backwashing saving water and electricity. Look for systems that combine both KDF55 and Carbon for a great environmentally friendly way to filter your water.

KDF is rather expensive, but your water filtration should not be without it!
