KDF/GAC 30 Premium

The KDF/GAC is a "two-media" cartridge consisting of  KDF (high purity copper-zinc alloy)and GAC (Granular Activated Carbon), providing superior filtration qualities. Through the electrolytic and oxidation reactions of the KDF and the absorption and entrapment capabilities of the GAC, the KDF/GAC can remove or greatly reduce a wide range of contaminants through to 30,000 litres.

The KDF media also provides a bacteriostatic effect which is hostile to algae, fungi and bacteria.

Tests conducted on KDF/GAC media in America, at the Australian Government Analytical Laboratories and at the University of Otago, have shown removal or reduction of the following contaminants (% reduction minimum):

Aluminium (97%)    Arsenic (96%)    Barium (90%)    Cadmium (80%)    Chlorine (99%)    ChromiumIII (98%)    ChromiumIV (75%)    Copper (90%)    Endrin (86%)    Dieldrin (96%)    Iron (50-95%)    Lead (85%)    Lindane (99%)    Mercury (99%)    Methoxychlor (96%)    Nitrate (75%)    Selenium (98%)    Silvex (88%)    Sulphur (99%)    2,4-D (a Herbicide)    Toxiphene (85%)    TTHM (as CHC13, 98%)
