How do KDF Process Media Work?
KDF process media are high-purity copper-zinc granules used in a number of pretreatment, primary treatment, and wastewater treatment applications. KDF media supplement or replace existing technologies to dramatically extend life of the system, control heavy metals and microorganisms, lower total cost, and decrease maintenance. KDF process media work to reduce or remove chlorine, iron, hydrogen sulfide, lead, mercury, calcium carbonate, magnesium, chromium, bacteria, algae, and fungi. Patented KDF process media are 100 percent recyclable and contain no chemical additives. Hospitals, restaurants, municipal water treatment facilities, and homes rely on KDF process media to safely reduce or remove chlorine, iron, hydrogen sulfide, heavy metals, and bacteria from their water. KDF media utilize an old process in a new way — the oxidation and reduction of ions, known as redox. In short, the redox process works by exchanging electrons with contaminants. This give and take of electrons convert
