Tested and Certified by the Water Quality Association against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction of Aesthetic Chlorine, Particulates, and Taste & Odor.
What Contaminants Does KDF Remove?
KDF process media will reduce or remove chlorine, iron, hydrogen sulfide, lead, mercury, magnesium, and chromium, and may inhibit the growth of bacteria, algae, and fungi. Redox media remove up to 99% of water-soluble cations (positively-charged ions) of lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals. While removal rates depend on a number of factors, more than 99% of chlorine is removed by KDF.
We believe that this new product will fit well within the UNFI portfolio of products, given your market strengths, values and customer base, so we would like to submit product samples to your team for evaluation.

SIMPLY PURE SHOWER FILTERS
URBAN CANTEEN has developed a highly innovative product/solution for the shower filter marketplace. Our research indicates that our combination of KFD-55 and Quartz Crystal is a unique blend of natural elements that offer a significant advantage over all similar and competing products. Our Shower filter converts Chlorine into a harmless soluble chloride. The “Simply Pure” shower filter removes 99% or more of free chlorine. The Crystalline Quartz is used for energy enhanced showers that makes the water feel softer and creates better lathering. Showering without chlorine will make your skin healthier, look younger, feel softer and give you relief from dry skin and scalp. Our shower filter has been certified by NSF for the reduction of free chlorine.
The Simply Pure Shower Filter Will Deliver the Following Advantages:
- Healthier, younger, looking skin
- Softer, more manageable hair
- Reduce fading of color treated-hair
- Removes Chlorine, Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide, Lead, Mercury,
Magnesium, and Chromium - Inhibit the growth of Bacteria, Algae and Fungi
- KDF is a very cost Effective Filter Media
- Remains effective at Higher Water Temperatures
- Great for those with chlorine sensitivity
Kinetic Degradation Fluxion (KDF-55) Water Filters
Kinetic Degradation Fluxion (KDF) is a high-purity copper-zinc formulation that uses a basic chemical process known as redox (oxidation/reduction) to remove chlorine, lead, mercury, iron, and hydrogen sulfide from water supplies. The process also has a anti-bacterial, algaecitic, and fungicitic effect and reduces the accumulation of lime scale.
KDF process media is used in pre-treatment and primary treatment applications to supplement or replace existing technologies in order to extend system life and to reduce heavy metal contamination, chlorine and hydrogen sulfide. Because of its effectiveness at higher water temperatures, it is often used on shower water filtration systems to remove chlorine and other contaminants.
The technology was developed by KDF Fluid Treatment, Inc. in the mid 1980s and was patented in 1987. KDF filter media meets EPA and Food and Drug Administration standards for levels of zinc and copper in potable water, and is certified by NSF International to its Standard 61 for drinking water.
How it Works
In short, the KDF redox process works by exchanging electrons with contaminants. This “give and take” of electrons converts many contaminants into harmless components. During this reaction, electrons are transferred between molecules, and new elements are created. Some harmful contaminants are changed into harmless components. Free chlorine, for instance, is changed into benign, water-soluble chloride salt, which is then carried harmlessly through the water supply. Many heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury and others, react and bond with the KDF medium’s surface, thus being effectively removed from the water supply.
KDF is also frequently found in home showerhead filters because of its effectiveness at higher operating temperatures and flow rates.
