KDF-85 and Coconut Shell GAC Aries Cartridges, 0.5 lbs. equiv. KDF, 2.5" x 10", Clear, (Case of 12) with Stabilized KDF-85 & ResinTech ® AGC 50/40 CSAW (ANSI / NSF 61 Certified)*
CARBON / KDF® CARTRIDGES
ResinTech coconut shell granular activated carbon (GAC) is used in combination with KDF® media to significantly extend the life of filter cartridges. KDF® 55 media is a redox media that removes chlorine, and reduces heavy metals. KDF® 85 removes hydrogen sulfide and reduces iron by the redox process and filtration. Both KDF® redox media are bacteriostatic and inhibit the growth of microorganisms in the filter.
About Carbon / KDF®
Activated carbon has remarkable cleaning and absorptive properties, which makes it an effective way to purify water. Chemicals and contaminants in the water are bonded at a molecular level to the carbon, effectively removing them from the water.
The addition of stabilized or reticulated KDF 55® / KDF 85® media is used to complement activated carbon filters. It aids in the removal of chlorine when treating municipal waters, and extends the carbon’s life, while limiting bacterial growth in the filter. Additionally, the KDF® has the ability to remove water-soluble cations via the oxidation-reduction process, resulting in a cost effective alternative to chemical treatment.
ResinTech AGC-50 CS is a coconut shell based, premium grade, granular activated carbon with a size range of 20 to 50 mesh. AGC-50-CS has small pores and high capacity for small organic molecules. ResinTech AGC-50-CS is intended for applications where the highest possible surface area and adsorption rates are needed.
ResinTech AGC-40-CS is a coconut shell based, premium grade, granular activated carbon with a size range of 12 to 40 mesh. The pore structure is carefully controlled to facilitate the adsorption of both high and low molecular weight organic molecules. ResinTech AGC-40-CS is intended for use in dechlorinating water and reducing organic impurities, as pretreatment for reverse osmosis and ion exchange systems.
