Proprietary Process Media

No one elseand we stress no one else can offer you and your customers the purity or all of the benefits of using KDF Process Media.
Period. In addition to KDF 55 Process Medium for POU water filters, KDF Fluid Treatment, Inc. manufactures KDF Process Media in other
forms for other specific water filtration applications.

How KDF 55 Process Medium Works

KDF 55 Process Medium is a high-purity copper-zinc alloy. When used in a water treatment unit, it undergoes a chemical process known as
redox.
Redox is short for oxidation-reduction, which is a chemical reaction where electrons are transferred between molecules. In some cases, such
as free chlorine, this transfer results in the formation of benign substances, such as chloride in this case, which then passes through the filter.
In a similar way, copper, lead, mercury, and other heavy metals react to plate out onto the mediums surface effectively being removed from
the water supply. KDF 55 Process Medium is so effective that it removes up to 98% of inorganic water-soluble heavy metals that are a
concern to many public health officials and many consumers.
In addition, KDF 55 Process Medium controls microorganisms and reduces lime scale in problem areas like showers and tubs. KDF 55 Process
Medium even changes waterborne calcium molecules that inhibit scale buildup and improves the taste of some of your favorite beverages.

Ahead Of The Carbon, Ahead Of The Game

KDF 55 Process Medium is the ideal complement to GAC. Because GAC removes chlorine by surface chemistry, it actually fosters bacterial
growth. But, unlike carbon, KDF 55 Process Medium is truly bacteriostatic. The electrolytic field created by the redox process is an
environment deadly to some microorganisms; it also creates hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxides that interfere with the ability of some
other microorganisms to function.

Helping Carbon Do What Carbon Does Best

By reducing inorganic contaminants be-fore they get to the carbon bed, KDF 55 Process Medium protects GAC from bac-terial fouling and
bacterial buildup, thus reserving the adsorption capacity of GAC for removing organic contaminants. This means less frequent carbon
re-bedding and less frequent carbon media disposal. Remember, carbon is not re-cyclable but KDF 55 Process Medium is.
Less carbon lasts longer. KDF 55 Process Medium is more effective than carbon in removing chlorine. Not only does this mean the carbon
works more efficient-ly, it also means the amount of carbon can be reduced. Less carbon means smaller filters. Smaller filters mean less
maintenance. Less maintenance means reduced operating costs. Your customers will appreciate you more for less.
Now that carbon is available to do what it does bestcontrol odor and improve tasteits effective life can be extended by up to fifteen times.

KDF 55 Process Medium Improves The Performance Of Shower Filters

At higher water temperatures, such as used for showering, the very capacity of GAC that makes it so effective and desir-able in a water
filtration system (trapping odor-causing contaminants, including chlorine) works against it in the shower.
Higher temperatures can cause some contaminants trapped in the carbon bed to re-enter the water flow. Hot water, however, has no such
effect on KDF 55 Process Medium. In fact, the higher the water temperature, the more effective KDF 55 Process Medium becomes in
reducing free chlorine.
As noted above, KDF 55 Process Medium improves the performance of carbon. Less contaminants get to the carbon so less can go through
it. Your customer will see less of the effects of chlorine such as dry flaky skin and damaged hair while the KDF 55 Process Medium helps
control the unwanted growth of bacteria, fungi, algae, mold and lime scale in the tub or shower.

Use KDF 55 Process Medium At Every Point-Of-Use

Although this is not an exhaustive list, it hints at the broad range of applications where your customers will benefit from the advantages of
your adding KDF 55 Process Medium to your carbon-based filters.

Wherever theres a water faucet supply-ing private, public or commercial needs for drinking, eating or washing, KDF 55 Process Medium
will make a welcome difference.

KDF 55 Process Medium Improves The Performance Of Other Water Filtration Systems, Too

There are many water filtration systems available today. Reverse osmosis (RO) and deionization (DI) are two popular op-tions. KDF 55
Process Medium enhances performance in these systems, too. Just as it does with GAC, KDF 55 Process Medium allows RO and DI
systems to concentrate on their strengths while protecting membranes and ion exchange resins downstream.

Why Use KDF 55 Process Medium In Your Filters?

Start with Purity. Its protected by US and foreign patents and certified safe by the USEPA. Theres nothing else like it. Nothing! Then consider
Performance. It gets the job done. It works in cold or hot water, in large or small systems. How about its Cost Effectiveness? It pays for itself
by reducing your system maintenance, extending the life of some system components and protecting other components, and eliminating the
need for expensive and toxic silver-impregnated media. Flexibility. KDF 55 Process Medium works by itself or with other components, in
POU or POE systems. Recyclable. Carbon might not be but KDF 55 Process Medium most certainly is. EPA-approved. No red tape.
Unparalleled Tech Support is available on our toll-free 800 line. Its Non-toxic.
Finally, dont forget Competition. Not ours, yours!
Filter manufacturers around the world have discovered the value and benefits of using KDF 55 Process Medium in their carbon-based filters.
KDF 55 Process Medium stands alone. And it gives your customer less. Which is exactly what they are expecting from you.
