KDF85 Filtration media – Ferrous Oxidation / Reduction Media – 5 lb. Bag

DescriptionIntroducing 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.Physical Properties:Form: GranularComposition: Atomized 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: Reddish BrownConditions 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.): 15″Experience the pinnacle of water purification technology with KDF 85 filtration media, ensuring pristine water quality and optimal system performance.
