KDF Redox Media

Understanding Redox

Essentially, the redox chemical reaction changes harmful chemicals into new, harmless ones. Free chlorine, for instance, is changed into benign, water-soluble chloride, which is then carried harmlessly through the water supply. Similarly, some heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury and others, react to plate out onto the medium’s surface, thus being effectively removed from the water supply.

Redox is the principle of opposites at work.  Some atoms are positively charged and are attracted to the negative charge of the zinc. Others are negatively charged and attracted to the positive charge of the copper. Electrons are transferred away from some substances causing them to be oxidized. The element that keeps the electron is said to be reduced.

KDF®55 media uses the redox principle in the presence of dissolved oxygen to effectively remove chlorine, chlorinated hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulfide, iron, and metals like lead, arsenic, aluminum, mercury and cadmium from water.

As water containing dissolved substances enters a bed of high purity copper-zinc granules, copper becomes a cathode and zinc an anode.  The tiny space between each granule becomes an electrolytic cell, with the water and its contents acting as the electrolyte.

As contaminants and oxygen pass through, heavy metals plate out on the surface of the granules.  Chlorine and the disinfect ion by-products it creates are turned into harmless chloride ions and ozone. In the process, copper and zinc chelates are produced that are valuable nutrients for the human body.

One of the most important benefits of treating water with the KDF® in our technology is that as the water passes through the media, it takes on a load of excess electrons thus improving its redox potential. Improved redox potential imparts two significant qualities to water as it pertains to health.

1. Along with the ozone created in the process, KDF® prevents viruses, algae, fungi, and bacteria, from growing in the product water.
2. The water with its increased load of electrons becomes a liquid antioxidant (a free-radical fighter like vitamin C).

Some water treatment products also claim their process imparts healing qualities to water. Some say these qualities magically appear because the water is made to travel next to a vessel containing water from some primative undisturbed aquifer. Others attribute their benefits to passing water through a vortex or some other strange metal shape.

With our Water Treatment System, you don’t have to rely on some esoteric belief. The value of increased redox potential in our technology is based on solid science. The redox potential of water can be easily measured both before and after passing through our treatment process to demonstrate the not only the existence, but the magnitude of the effect.

Because of the amount of KDF® we use in our systems, and our design which provides maximum contact time for the water, the magnitude of this effect with our systems exceeds that of water exposed to magnets or even electrolysis.

No other system can make these claims and back them up with real science.
