Frequently Asked Questions

NOTE: This page will be expanded as more questions are asked.

Q - What is KDF?

"Kinetic Degradation Fluxion" utilizes an all-natural "Redox" process in which the "dissimilar" metals copper and zinc are used to create a kinetic charge from the flow of the water through them, that kills microorganisms and alters or removes many problem contaminants. It also conditions water with a "softening" effect.

Q - What is special about Redox?

In 1987 this exciting breakthrough technology for water purification was discovered. Developed and designed by a leading American scientist, this KDF media has been awarded both U.S. and international patents.

Redox has been proven to be the best way to remove major contaminants from our water, and shown to stay active longer than any other purification method. The result is better water than bottled water, at a fraction of the cost.

Q - Is there independent verification that redox is effective?

In August, 1992, KDF was awarded the U.S. E. P. A.'s approval as a "pesticidal device", which means it has the ability to kill algae, bacteria (including Pseudomonas florescens, Ybrio cholera, Legionella pneumophilia, and coliforms), fungus, mold, and many parasites and viruses found in drinking water supplies, through the natural process of "electrochemical oxidation/reduction".

KDF has also been certified by independent water purification authorities to kill a target bacteria within the "less than 1 minute contact time" required to be effective in point-of-use water filters. Thus it is "bacteriacidal", a much preferred classification to that of "bacteriostatic", a term often used with filters impregnated with silver, which only slightly retards bacterial growth.

Q - How does redox help carbon?

When redox technology is combined with high-quality coconut shell granular activated carbon, the redox media protects the carbon from rapid exhaustion with chlorine by handling the chlorine first, thus allowing the carbon to have a much longer effective life. Redox media has about 10 times the active life of carbon that is not protected like this.

Q - What will redox & carbon do?

Redox media & carbon working together are proven effective against microorganisms, chlorine, heavy metals, (aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, iron, lead, mercury, etc.), hydrogen sulfide, nitrates, odor, poor taste, THM's, PCB's, dioxin, and thousands of other organic chemicals and inorganic poisons, for an extended time, . . . at the minimal cost of approximately one cent per gallon!

Q - Why do you suggest that a carbon block or ceramic cartridge be added to the redox & carbon?

Even more effective purification is provided by following the redox & carbon with a solid carbon block or a ceramic cartridge. The ceramic unit filters out particles as small as .4 microns, which includes parasites and many bacteria which may be present in water. Most of these that survive the chlorine are killed by the redox, but it is still desirable to remove them.

A new high-pressure treated solid carbon block cartridge is now available for the second unit in our Mega Heavy Duty Dual systems. It screens down to a micron, which will eliminate most bacteria. Also, the extra carbon extends the effectiveness of the system as a whole in removing organic pesticides and other chemicals.

Q - Why is your system better than bottled water?

While bottled water may be an improvement over chlorinated tap water, any onsite point-of-use or point-of-entry water treatment with a well-maintained system would be preferable over bottled water, which is clearly unreliable and expensive.

With point-of-use purification you know what you are getting, and the cost per gallon is vastly lower than with bottled water.

Q - Why do you consider your system the best choice in water purification?

For the cost-conscious individual who is interested in protecting their health, redox technology combined with high-quality coconut shell granular activated carbon offers the most attractive water purification choice when it comes to quality, value, and maintenance-free performance. Countertop, under-the-counter and shower units are available at modest cost.

For the ultimate in affordable contaminant-removal, redox & carbon followed by a carbon block or ceramic filter (which screens down to less than 1/2 micron) provides the best of all solutions: the very high quality water you want, . . . when you want it, . . . at a low affordable cost, . . . with an absolute minimum of service & maintenance.

One of our dual redox & Carbon and carbon block or ceramic units will effectively reduce or remove the following contaminants:

~algae ~bacteria ~parasites ~mold/fungus ~bad taste ~bad odor ~pesticides ~herbicides ~fertilizers ~nitrates ~detergents ~PCB's ~THM's ~aluminum ~barium ~cadmium ~chlorine ~fluoride ~iron ~lead ~mercury ~radon ~and many more

NOTE: A cartridge that contains the special media "Alumina" added to the redox & carbon, is available for our "Mega Heavy Duty" units to more fully remove fluoride from city water.
