In addition to KDF 55 Process Medium for POU water filters, KDF Fluid Treatment, Inc. manufactures KDF Process Media in other<br \/>\nforms for other specific water filtration applications.<\/p>\n<h2>How KDF 55 Process Medium Works<\/h2>\n<p>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<br \/>\nredox.<br \/>\nRedox is short for oxidation-reduction, which is a chemical reaction where electrons are transferred between molecules. In some cases, such<br \/>\nas free chlorine, this transfer results in the formation of benign substances, such as chloride in this case, which then passes through the filter.<br \/>\nIn a similar way, copper, lead, mercury, and other heavy metals react to plate out onto the mediums surface effectively being removed from<br \/>\nthe water supply. KDF 55 Process Medium is so effective that it removes up to 98% of inorganic water-soluble heavy metals that are a<br \/>\nconcern to many public health officials and many consumers.<br \/>\nIn addition, KDF 55 Process Medium controls microorganisms and reduces lime scale in problem areas like showers and tubs. KDF 55 Process<br \/>\nMedium even changes waterborne calcium molecules that inhibit scale buildup and improves the taste of some of your favorite beverages.<\/p>\n<h2>Ahead Of The Carbon, Ahead Of The Game<\/h2>\n<p>KDF 55 Process Medium is the ideal complement to GAC. Because GAC removes chlorine by surface chemistry, it actually fosters bacterial<br \/>\ngrowth. But, unlike carbon, KDF 55 Process Medium is truly bacteriostatic. The electrolytic field created by the redox process is an<br \/>\nenvironment deadly to some microorganisms; it also creates hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxides that interfere with the ability of some<br \/>\nother microorganisms to function.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-center\">Typical Redox Reaction<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-4 text-center\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaterfilters.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/redox-reaction01.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Harmful chlorine is removed by changing free chlorine into chloride ions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 text-center\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaterfilters.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/redox-reaction02.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>KDF process media act as catalysts to change soluble ferrous cations into insoluble ferric hydroxide, which is easily removed by regular backwashing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 text-center\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaterfilters.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/redox-reaction03.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>KDF process media converts hydrogen sulfide to insoluble sulfide, which can be removed by backwashing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"apex-re\">\n<div class=\"summer-product-title\">\n<div class=\"summer-product-title-align\">\n<div class=\"v-align\">\n<div class=\"txt\">Cartridge<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"apex-re-inner\">\n<div class=\"apex-title-bg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"kdf-table table-responsive\">\n<table class=\"table blue-table model-table axeon-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"9\">9-3\/4&#8243; Cartridge<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">KDF 55 Medium<br \/>\n(Pounds)<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">Bed Depth<br \/>\n(Inches)<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"5\">P Pressure Drop (Pounds Per Square Inch)<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">Max.

Perhaps on the surface this appears to be a reasonable<br \/>\ncompromise, but lets consider the attendant problems that the use of silver brings with it: One problem is that the US Environ-mental Protection<br \/>\nAgency (USEPA) considers silver a pesticide that must be registered. Furthermore, maintaining<br \/>\nbacteriostatic levels of concentrated silver occasion-ally violates USEPA guidelines for dissolved<br \/>\nsilver content. Although silver might inhibit the growth of bacteria within the confines of the filter<br \/>\nitself while the unit is inactive, it is not necessarily effective as a bacteriostatic when the water is<br \/>\nactively flowing through the filter. KDF 55 Process Medium is bac-teriostatic while the filter is<br \/>\nboth inactive and active.<br \/>\nPound for pound, KDF 55 Process Medium is about half the cost of silver. This could mean<br \/>\ndramatic savings to your customers and you.<br \/>\nKDF 55 Process Medium is non-toxic, completely safe. It meets USEPA and US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) standards for levels of<br \/>\nzinc and copper in potable water. The USEPA has ruled that KDF 55 Process Medium is a pesticidal device that does not require registration.<br \/>\nIts time to rethink the use of silver-impregnated media.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flow-rate margin-top\">\n<h2>9 Cartridge Dechlorination (3\/8 Tubing and Fittings)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<p>Pressure Drop as a Function of Amount<br \/>\nof Medium and Flow Rate<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaterfilters.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/flow-rate01.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<p>Maximum Flow Rate for 95% Reduction as a Function of the Amount of Medium<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaterfilters.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/flow-rate02.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"margin-top\">4 x 10 Filter Dechlorination (3\/4 Tubing and Fittings)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<p>Pressure Drop as a Function of Amount<br \/>\nof Medium and Flow Rate<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaterfilters.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/flow-rate03.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<p>Maximum Flow Rate for 95% Reduction as a Function of the Amount of Medium<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaterfilters.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/flow-rate04.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"margin-top\">2 x 10 Inline Cartridge Dechlorination (1\/4Tubing and Fittings)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<p>Pressure Drop as a Function of Amount<br \/>\nof Medium and Flow Rate<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaterfilters.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/flow-rate05.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<p>Maximum Flow Rate for 95% Reduction as a Function of the Amount of Medium<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaterfilters.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/flow-rate06.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"margin-top\">2 x 6 Inline Cartridge Dechlorination (1\/4 Tubing and Fittings)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<p>Pressure Drop as a Function of Amount<br \/>\nof Medium and Flow Rate<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaterfilters.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/flow-rate07.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<p>Maximum Flow Rate for 95% Reduction as a Function of the Amount of Medium<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaterfilters.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/flow-rate08.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kdf-table table-responsive\">\n<table class=\"table blue-table model-table axeon-table margin-top\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"9\">Shower Filter<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">KDF 55 Medium<br \/>\n(Pounds)<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">Bed Depth<br \/>\n(Inches)<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"5\">P Pressure Drop {PSI}<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">Max.

This means less frequent carbon<br \/>\nre-bedding and less frequent carbon media disposal. Remember, carbon is not re-cyclable but KDF 55 Process Medium is.<br \/>\nLess carbon lasts longer. KDF 55 Process Medium is more effective than carbon in removing chlorine. Not only does this mean the carbon<br \/>\nworks more efficient-ly, it also means the amount of carbon can be reduced. Less carbon means smaller filters. Smaller filters mean less<br \/>\nmaintenance. Less maintenance means reduced operating costs.

Hot water, however, has no such<br \/>\neffect on KDF 55 Process Medium. In fact, the higher the water temperature, the more effective KDF 55 Process Medium becomes in<br \/>\nreducing free chlorine.<br \/>\nAs noted above, KDF 55 Process Medium improves the performance of carbon. Less contaminants get to the carbon so less can go through<br \/>\nit.
