KDF-GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON CARTRIDGES
KDF/GAC cartridges contain a granular zinc copper alloy (KDF55) this medium removes impurities from water by exchanging electrons with them in a redox (oxidation/reduction) reaction. In addition to chlorine, this highly efficient, long lasting, recyclable medium also controls microorganisms and removes heavy soluble metals,
- The KDF55 medium is separated by a filter pad within the cartridge from coconut the shell based granular activated carbon which is highly effective at reducing certain organic chemicals such as EDB, TCE, and THM`s in addition to reducing chlorine. A fine pre and post filter screen is incorporated to reduce carbon fines and other suspended particles.
- However, flushing of these cartridges is necessary to remove remaining carbon fines. Cartridges are engineered to allow water to enter one end and pass through the entire bed of KDF/carbon before exiting through the other end, ensuring maximum absorption.
- The use of the KDF55 medium ahead of the granular activated carbon in this cartridge removes more than 95% of the chlorine in your water before it reaches the carbon. This preserves the carbon’s capacity, freeing the carbon to remove organic contaminants more efficiently and extending the carbon’s service life up to 15 times.
- KDF55 media also removes heavy metals and dissolved organic content
- The body and end caps of this cartridge are constructed of polypropylene •Gasket Buna-n
- The maximum operating temperature of the cartridge is 52 deg. C•Standard cartridge Outer diameter is 70 mm and inner diameter is 27 mm.
- Maximum flow rates 10” 9 LPM 20” 15 LPM
- WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
KDF GAC is used as an alternative to Standard GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) when there is a need to ensure minimum pathogens in drinking water.
