KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) is a high-purity copper-zinc alloy used in water filtration to remove chlorine, reduce heavy metals, and control microorganisms.
How It Works:
-Redox Reaction: It uses oxidation-reduction (redox) to exchange electrons with contaminants, turning harmful substances into harmless components without chemical additives.
-Chlorine Conversion: It changes free chlorine into water-soluble chloride, which safely passes through the water and is filtered out more efficiently by carbon media.
-Heavy Metal Plating: Dissolved heavy metals (like lead, mercury, copper, and nickel) bond to the copper-zinc surface, removing them from the water stream.
-Bacteriostatic Control: It creates an environment where bacteria, algae, and fungi cannot easily grow, which also protects companion carbon filters from fouling. When paired with carbon media and in conjunction with a softener (like our EcoProMax from Kenai), KDF provides ample protection from degrading contaminants that shorten the life span of carbon media and softening resin.
This will drastically extend the life of your softener and it will protect your home and family’s water supply. Give us a call today, to learn more about why KDF is the included in Kenai’s EcoProMax, a cutting-edge advanced whole-house/ softener.
