The KDF85 is similar to our KDF55 water filter but contains an additional ingredient: manganese oxide. This sets this filter apart by specifically removing iron and sulfur contaminants from the water. KDF85 can be effective in removing hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) and other unpleasant odors and tastes caused by sulfur compounds. It is often used in water treatment systems for spring water with high iron and sulfur content.
Description
How does it work?
The KDF85 filter works through an electrochemical reaction. It consists of a mixture of copper and zinc alloys. When water flows through the filter and comes into contact with these alloys, an electrochemical reaction occurs. This reaction accelerates the oxidation of dissolved iron and manganese compounds in the water. This converts these metals into solid particles, which are then retained and removed in the filter. The result is purified water with reduced levels of iron and manganese.
Why this water filter?
Improve water quality: KDF85 removes iron and manganese, which can improve the taste and odor of water and help reduce rust and scale in pipes and appliances.
Equipment protection: The use of KDF85 can extend the life of household appliances, such as washing machines and dishwashers, by reducing the buildup of iron and manganese deposits in them.
Improve the water source: In situations where well water has high iron or manganese content, the use of KDF85 can make the water source more suitable for consumption and use.
What type of water is this filter suitable for?
KDF85 filters are particularly suitable for water sources with elevated concentrations of iron and manganese. This could be spring water, well water or water from surface water sources where these metals are a problem. It is essential to have your water quality tested before you decide to use a KDF85 filter to ensure it is suitable for your particular water source and needs.
