KDF55 Filtration media – Oxidation / Reduction Anti-microbial Media – 5.lb bag

DescriptionUnlock advanced water purification with KDF 55 filtration media, meticulously engineered to reduce contaminants through an innovative oxidation/reduction (redox) process. This high-purity copper-zinc formulation facilitates electron exchange with pollutants, transforming them into harmless components. Chlorine converts into water-soluble chloride, soluble ferrous cations into insoluble ferric hydroxide, and hydrogen sulfide into insoluble copper sulfide, effortlessly eliminated through periodic backwash.Experience the dual-action microbial control mechanism of KDF 55: the redox reaction creates an electrolytic field hostile to most microorganisms, while hydroxyl radicals and peroxides disrupt their vital functions.Advantages:Enhances water treatment performance, complementing or replacing existing filtration methods.Removes over 95% of chlorine, iron, heavy metals, and hydrogen sulfide when used alone.Extends the lifespan of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) when combined.Safeguards reverse osmosis and ion exchange systems, preserving costly membranes and resins.Compact and cost-effective design compared to other technologies, with reduced material requirements.Long-lasting and recyclable, eliminating disposal costs and environmental hazards.Effective against bacteria and microorganisms, disrupting electron transport and causing cellular damage.Physical Properties:Form: GranularComposition: High-purity copper/zinc alloyApparent Density: 171 lbs./cu. ft.Particle Size Range: 2.00 mm to 0.149 mmScreen Size (U.S. Mesh): -10 100Turbidity: >20 ntuColor: Golden (KDF 55)Conditions for Operation:Freeboard: 20%Service Flow Rate (10″ min.): 15 gpm/sq. ft.Backwash Flow Rate: Twice service flow rate for 10 minutesPurge/Rinse Flow Rate: Twice service flow rate for 3 minutesBackwash bed expansion: 10-15%Minimum Bed Depth (6″ diam.): 10″ (KDF 55), 15″ (KDF 85)Elevate your water treatment standards with KDF 55 filtration media, ensuring pristine water quality with every drop.
