Its patented redox process extends carbon filter life by up to 15 times, reduces maintenance, and supports sustainable water systems. Ideal for whole house and drinking water filtration, this recyclable media ensures long-lasting, high-performance water purification. ## Description KDF 55 is a high-purity copper-zinc granule media1 lb.Price is per pound; 5 lbs. is usually needed for a 1 cu. ft. systemHeavy Metal RemovalRemoves up to 99% of water-soluble lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals.KDF Process Media are high-purity copper-zinc granules that use redox (the exchange of electrons) to remove chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, watersoluble heavy metals and microorganisms from water. Effective? This highly-effective, patented alloy removes more than 95% of the free chlorine before it reaches your carbon bed so your carbon can concentrate on removing organics, thus extending its useful service life by up to 15 times. You'll discover yourself using less carbon and treating yourself to fewer carbon change-outs, smaller carbon beds and then smaller filters. With long-lasting, recyclable KDF Process Media , RO membranes and ion exchange resins will last longer. ## Features - KDF Process Media enhance the performance, extend the life, reduce the maintenance and lower the total cost of many available carbon-based systems. - LiquaGen KDF 55 COPPER-ZINC MEDIA – High-quality redox filtration media designed for use in water filtration systems to support improved water quality and system performance. - DESIGNED FOR WATER FILTRATION APPLICATIONS – Commonly used in whole house systems, backwashing filters, and specialty cartridges as part of a multi-stage filtration setup. - SUPPORTS LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE – Engineered for durability and extended service life when used in properly designed filtration systems with appropriate flow rates. - COMPATIBLE WITH MULTIPLE SYSTEM TYPES – Suitable for use in standard media tanks, refillable cartridges, and custom-built filtration systems. - HELPS REDUCE COMMON WATER IMPURITIES – Commonly used in filtration systems designed to address substances such as chlorine, heavy metals, and other unwanted elements. - IDEAL FOR WELL AND MUNICIPAL WATER SETUPS – Works effectively as part of a complete filtration system for a variety of incoming water sources. - EASY TO HANDLE AND INSTALL – Available in multiple weight options (1, 2, 5, 10 lbs) for flexible use in small or large filtration systems. - DOUBLE-LAYER LIQUAGEN PACKAGING – Secure, durable packaging helps maintain product integrity during shipping, storage, and handling. - FOR USE IN FILTRATION SYSTEMS ONLY – Intended for use as filtration media in properly designed systems; professional sizing and installation recommended for optimal performance. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #82,755 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #1,291 in Aquarium Filter Accessories | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 64 Reviews | ## Images ![LiquaGen KDF 55 Copper Zinc Filter Media – 1 lb Recyclable Granules for Chlorine, Iron, Heavy Metals & Bacteria Removal – Extends Carbon Filter Life for Whole House & Drinking Water Systems - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WwoJb6rEL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this media require a certain amount of psi for water to flow through it, or can it be used in a pour over/gravity filter also?** A: Hello, great question, thanks for inquiring with us! The granular KDF Filter Media is 171lbs per cubic foot, so it is a heavy/dense water filter media and depending on the application + nature of the filter system itself, it may be necessary to factor in the density of the media and how much pressure may be lost . Granular KDF Filter Media is utilized in some gravity flow applications but the density of the material and how much can be used.......would depend on the design of the gravity filter (think things like head pressure from upper reservoir, diameter of gravity flow cartridge, other media utilized, axial vs. radial flow, and more....). If avoidance of pressure loss is of paramount concern (pressurized or pressurized gravity flow type water filter designs included), the Reticulated Foam KDF Filter Media version of KDF Filter Media (instead of the traditional granular KDF Media listed here) does not cause pressure loss regardless of how it is implemented in the filter system design and is likely a great fit for your needs given the nature of your initial question here.

However, it is ideal for the water to flow through the KDF Filter media and then through the activated carbon filter media. So if possible load the KDF and activated carbon filter media in layers (not homogeneously mixed) ensuring the water flow through the KDF first. I would not recommend that you mix Activated Alumina into the same cartridge. Installing a second cartridge full of Activated Alumina only upstream of your KDF/GAC mixed cartridge (so that water flows through the Activated Alumina only cartridge first) is the best way to go. Please let us know if you have any additional questions! Thank you, Chris from CuZn 800.345.PURE (7873) Phone Support: 9am - 5:30pm est, M-F **Q: what is the cubic foot to pound ratio? IE: i need approximatly .75 cubic feet so how many pounds shall ineed to purchase?** A: Hello Higgins great question, thanks for inquiring with us! Granular KDF-55 Filtration Media is extraordinarily dense, 171 pounds per cubic foot. So 0.75 cubic foot of granular KDF-55 would be 128.25 pounds of media. Please do give us a call if you'd like to discuss any additional questions you have in greater detail!

If using one of our CuZn Empty Refillable Water Filter Cartridges, we've got replacement media topper pads as well as replacement felt pats that are donut shaped and inserted into the top and bottom cap that we're happy to sell. We're planning to upload a webpage for ordering those pads in the near future but in the meantime orders for them replacement pads for refillable cartridges can be purchased over the phone by calling 800.345.7873. You are correct that the replacement of the pads inside the cartridge is optional in some cases. If the pad that is currently in the cartridge appears to be relatively clean (not clogged) and you've been using KDF Media that prevents bacteria grow inside the cartridge, it should be safe to reuse that pad until it is clogged or structural deteriorated. There are 3 pads in nearly all refillable cartridge housings, (2) donut shaped pads in the top and bottom cap + one disc shaped pad that is an inch or so thick and typically constructed of non woven material or foam. The one that is disc shaped and thicker is typically used as a Media Topper Pad. Where the cartridge is filled all the water until there is 1/4" - 1/2" of space left, the media topper pad is then placed on top and gets compressed / squished down flat when screwing on the cap to keep the media inside a nice type column. Always happy to help answer any and all questions about building filters in greater detail, just give us call!
