You may have seen the term “KDF” filtration when shopping for a new shower filter. But what is KDF? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a nutshell, KDF is a type of media used in many water filtration systems. KDF stands for “Kinetic Degradation Fluxion.” It’s a high-purity, granulated copper-zinc alloy that removes chlorine, lead, and other heavy metals from water. KDF also inhibits the growth of bacteria and algae.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply put, when found in a shower filter, it can remove all the yucky stuff from your water that can cause skin irritation, dryness, brittle hair, and a whole host of other problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KDF filters are available in several varieties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n While KDF filters may seem like a generic filtration system, they are a patented technology made by Michigan-based KDF Fluid Treatment, Inc<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KDF remains a popular medium for many shower filters as they can remove up to 95% chlorine from water. Unlike most filters that lose their filtration quality with each passing gallon of water, KDF continues to work long after the initial installation.<\/p>\n\n\nTypes of KDF Filters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
