About Carbon / KDF®
Activated carbon has remarkable cleaning and absorptive properties, which makes it an effective way to purify water. Chemicals and contaminants in the water are bonded at a molecular level to the carbon, effectively removing them from the water. 

The addition of stabilized or reticulated KDF® 85 media is used to complement activated carbon filters. It aids in the removal of chlorine when treating municipal waters, and extends the carbon’s life, while limiting bacterial growth in the filter. Additionally, the KDF® has the ability to remove water-soluble cations via the oxidation-reduction process, resulting in a cost effective alternative to chemical treatment.
