What is KDF and how does it work in a showerhead filter?

KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) is a filtration medium that works by:

Redox Reaction

KDF changes harmful contaminants into harmless ones.

  • Mechanism: KDF media has a copper-zinc alloy that creates an electrochemical reaction. This reaction changes chlorine into chloride, a harmless substance, and bonds with heavy metals.

  • Contaminants removed: Chlorine, lead, mercury, iron, hydrogen sulfide.

Benefits of KDF in Shower Filters

KDF removes contaminants and inhibits bacteria and fungi growth so water is better.

  • Pros: Long lasting, good for high flow water applications, reduces scale buildup.

  • Typical use: Used in combination with other filtration media in showerheads for complete water purification.
