Big Blue Whole House 4.5" x 10" Water Filter/Cartridge KDF 85 + GAC

<p><span><span><span style="color: #000000;">Reverse Osmosis (RO), Deionization (DI) and Ion Exchange (IX) systems benefit from the use of KDF Process Media because our Media allow these systems to tend to their strengths. Our Media protects RO systems from chlorine degradation and bacterial contamination, extending the life of the systems’ membranes. KDF Process Media protects expensive IX systems from becoming fouled with chlorine, algae, fungi and bacteria. Less fouling, longer life and reduced maintenance, all combine for lower costs.</span></span></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><table style="width: 806px;" border="0"><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td colspan="6"><table style="width: 95%;" border="0"><tbody><tr><td><h1>KDF Water Filter Media Provide Primary Water Treatment and Wastewater Treatment Solutions: What They Are and How They Work?</h1><h2 class="style6 style9"><strong>What are KDF® Process Media<br>and how do they work?</strong></h2><p>KDF® Process Media are high-purity, granulated copper and zinc-based alloys that treat water through a process based upon the principle of&nbsp;<strong>redox</strong>&nbsp;(Oxidation-Reduction). Originally, KDF was shorthand for Kinetic Degradation Fluxion.</p><p>We can explain redox like this: KDF Fluid Treatment’s unique combination of copper and zinc creates an electro-chemical reaction. During this reaction, electrons are transferred between molecules, and new elements are created. Some harmful contaminants are changed into harmless components. Free chlorine, for instance, is changed into benign, water-soluble chloride, which is then carried harmlessly through the water supply. Similarly, some heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury and others, react to plate out onto the medium’s surface, thus being effectively removed from the water supply.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
