## Overview

KDF 55 Filtration Media is a premium 10 lb. copper-zinc alloy designed to remove up to 99% of harmful heavy metals and reduce chlorine by over 95% through advanced redox technology. Ideal for enhancing existing filter tanks, it extends carbon filter life by up to 15 times while controlling bacteria, algae, and scale without chemicals. Compatible with various filtration systems, this recyclable media ensures cleaner, safer water with less maintenance.

## Description

KDF 55 Process Media can remove up to 99% of water-soluble lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals. All KDF Process Media forms are effective in controlling the buildup of bacteria, algae, fungi and scale, making them ideal for use in GAC beds, ion exchange resins, carbon block filters and inline carbon filters. Wherever our Media are used, they can eliminate the need for costly, and sometimes harmful, chemical treatments. KDF 55 is used to add to an existing filter tank. You can add this to any other types of filter media such as a water softener or carbon tank to remove higher levels of chlorine, bacteria, or iron. 10 lbs is usually sufficient for a 2 cu. ft. size tank system. KDF Process Media are high-purity copper-zinc granules that use redox (the exchange of electrons) to remove chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, water-soluble heavy metals and microorganisms from water. Effective? This highly-effective, patented alloy removes more than 95% of the free chlorine before it reaches your carbon bed so your carbon can concentrate on removing organics, thus extending its useful service life by up to 15 times. You’ll discover yourself using less carbon and treating yourself to fewer carbon change-outs, smaller carbon beds and then smaller filters. With long-lasting, recyclable KDF Process Media, RO membranes and ion exchange resins will last longer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: please i'm confused. this KDF55 has ones with slightly color difference in Amazon.yours is lighter...why this different**
A: KDF-55 has a light yellowish, some call it gold, coloration. The fresher the media is, the lighter and more vibrant coloration. That is most likely what you are observing here as we strictly monitor our inventory to ensure that only the freshest product gets shipped out. Thanks for asking & please let us know if you have any additional questions! Chris @ CuZn Water Systems.

**Q: How do i filter remaining chromium after my sediment filtration, iron system, softener system, (1/2 cu tank, no backflush, new kdf annually?)**
A: Hello Lee, great question, thanks for inquiring with us! If you could share some test results, that would better help us confirm the ideal set up for polishing the remaining chromium. In most cases, a KDF-55 Media System can adequately remove the remaining Chromium. If your pH of your water is well above 7.5, some of the chromium may be present has very small particulate and a 1 or 0.5 post sediment filter may be necessary to polish out all of the chromium. Although a bed of KDF-55, since the media is so incredibly dense (171 lbs per cubic foot), it does a pretty good job with insoluble particulate capture. When built in the backwashing tank system housing as you've indicated, the insoluble particulate that is built up in the media bed gets sent down the drain line during the backwashing cycle. I'd add the KDF-55 Tank System and retest to see how you're doing. In your set up, install the KDF-55 System last in line and I'd a bit of catalytic carbon in there is well for taste polishing since it would be the final filter element that the water passes through. Perhaps a 8 x 44 water filter tank w/ Flex 5600 Timer Head on top set to backwash once every 3 days - pour in enough pea gravel to cover the lower distributor basket, add 10lbs of granular catalytic carbon, then 40lbs of KDF-55 and you should be good to go. I'd replace thats system more like once every 3 years and that may even be overly conservative. Please feel free to give us a call to discuss any additional questions you have in greater detail!

**Q: Is this used to purify drinking water?**
A: Yes. This is the same as one of the filtration medias we use in our CuZn Water Systems filters.

**Q: I have a whole house regenerating (Fleck control valve) filter system with carbon. It is time to replace the carbon. Can I layer kd55 with carbon ?**
A: Hello Eric V, great question, thanks for inquiring with us! KDF-55 & Activated Carbon can be installed in a mix bed format but it is less than ideal. You'll want to make sure and leave a considerable amount of free board in the tank to allow the KDF Media Bed to lift up during the backwashing cycle. You'll also want to backwash more frequently, at least once every 3 Days for Granular KDF Media. Ideally, the water should pass through the KDF Media Bed First, than through the bed of carbon 2nd. Since the KDF Media has a much greater density, during the backwashing cycle, the KDF-55 Media will settle down at the bottom of the tank w/the carbon resting on top of it. Since water flows down through the media bed in a backwashing tank, this means water will be passing through the carbon bed first, followed by the KDF Media Bed. For best results, I'd recommend configuring your system so that water passes through the KDF Media first, then through the carbon media bed. This may require 2 different tanks be installed. If you'd like to discuss options in a bit greater detail, please don't hesitate to give us a call (contact info below).
