We use an advanced blend which has three primary components: Activated Carbon, KDF-55, and Calcium Sulfite.
Our product research team uses studies published in the National Library of Medicine and industry standard data. Our filters are third-party tested and certified.
Q: What role does activated carbon play?
Activated carbon traps organic chemicals and contaminants on its large surface area, working best in water temperatures below 104°F (40°C). It reduces pesticides, controls lime scale buildup, dirt, and eliminates bad odors.
Q: What does KDF-55 do?
KDF-55 uses a copper-zinc alloy to create a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction that converts chlorine into harmless chloride ions. It also removes heavy metals like lead, mercury, and iron, while controlling bacteria, algae, and fungal growth in the filter.
Q: How does calcium sulfite and vitamins work?
Calcium sulfite rapidly reacts with chlorine as water passes through, converting it into non-toxic chloride ions. It's especially effective in hot water temperatures where activated carbon loses effectiveness. Vitamin supplements in the filter help reduce low levels of chloramine (a chlorine compound) and add nourishing elements to the water for healthier skin and hair.
