Safe, Clean Water from Your Well—Without Chemicals If you rely on well water, you're probably familiar with the challenges: unpleasant odors, staining from iron, and concerns about bacteria or heavy metals. KDF filtration media offers a powerful, chemical-free way to solve these problems at the source. What Is KDF Filtration? ⚈ KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) is a high-purity copper-zinc filtration media that removes contaminants from water through a natural process called redox (oxidation-reduction) . As water flows through the media, electrons are transferred between elements, changing harmful substances into harmless ones—or filtering them out entirely. ⚈  KDF 55 Filtration Media - Gold fine media (top) KDF 55 is a high-purity copper-zinc granule filtration media that uses a redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction to remove contaminants from water. It is specifically designed to remove chlorine, water-soluble heavy metals (like lead, mercury, and nickel), and control the growth ...

In the second installment of our Water Filtration Series , we’re diving deep into whole-house filtration systems designed to tackle tough water problems and the best options for removal of: iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). We’ll cover:  When and how to know you need a whole-house filtration system  Which type of system works best for the water issues being treated  Why the right filtration system matters  How to choose the right system and solution for your water, home, and family   Why Iron, Manganese, H2S (odor), and Low PH are often referred to as "Problem Water" Water with high levels of iron, manganese, H₂S and low PH is often called problem water — and for good reason. These issues can be stubborn, and solving them often takes trial, error, and expertise. Many homeowners (and even some “experts”) try to fix these problems with oversized filter cartridges before or after a water softener. Unfortunately, this approach is just a band-aid ...
