KDF-85 (WST-M-KDF85057-1) Process Media Specialized for Iron & Hydrogen Sulfide Removal - 1 lb Bag
KDF-85 Process Media for Iron & Hydrogen Sulfide Removal
High-purity copper-zinc granules engineered for redox filtration at point-of-entry. 1 lb bag treats up to 10,000 gallons for chlorine, controls iron and hydrogen sulfide without chemicals.
Redox Chemistry for Heavy Metal and Sulfide Control
Oxidation-Reduction Reaction
High-purity copper-zinc granules exchange electrons to catalyze redox reactions, converting soluble iron and hydrogen sulfide into filterable particles without chemical additives.
Microorganism Control
KDF-85 media disrupts microbial cell walls through electrochemical processes, controlling bacteria growth in potable water systems without residual disinfectants.
Chlorine Reduction
Every pound of KDF-85 removes chlorine from approximately 10,000 gallons, extending the life of downstream carbon filters and protecting membranes in multi-stage systems.
Compact Footprint
High efficiency per volume means smaller tank requirements compared to conventional oxidation media, reducing installation costs and space demands for point-of-entry systems.
Point-of-Entry Municipal Water Treatment
KDF-85 media is designed for whole-house filtration tanks treating municipal water supplies with elevated iron, hydrogen sulfide, or chlorine levels. Compatible with standard upflow or downflow backwashing filter tanks. Not intended for well water with high tannin content or extremely low pH (below 6.5). Works synergistically with catalytic carbon, birm, and manganese greensand in multi-media configurations. Consult your tank manufacturer for recommended bed depth and backwash rates based on flow requirements.
Backwash Schedule and Media Lifespan
Backwash Cycle
Backwash KDF-85 media to remove accumulated iron precipitates and flush out hydrogen sulfide byproducts. Frequency depends on contaminant load and flow rate.
Bed Inspection
Check media bed depth and inspect for channeling or compaction. Top off media as needed to maintain proper bed depth for contact time and filtration efficiency.
Media Replacement
Replace KDF-85 media when chlorine reduction capacity declines or iron removal efficiency drops. Lifespan varies with water chemistry and backwash maintenance.
NSF Certified Components
Manufactured to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for drinking water system components and materials
Environmentally Responsible
No chemical regeneration required, recyclable copper-zinc alloy reduces waste compared to disposable cartridges
