The KDF/GAC is a “two-media” cartridge consisting of KDF (high-purity copper-zinc alloy) and GAC (granular activated carbon), providing superior filtration qualities. Through the electrolytic and oxidation reactions of the KDF and the adsorption and entrapment capabilities of the GAC, the KDF/GAC can remove or greatly reduce a wide range of contaminants through to 30,000 litres.
The KDF media also provides a bacteriostatic effect which is hostile to algae, fungi and bacteria. The OKDF30/1 is also Cyst safe.
Choose your fitting type:
- JJ has built-in John Guest "quick connect" fitting; 1/4" (6.2mm) Push-to-Fit. The fitting is factory-molded into the filter body.
- BB has a female threaded end on both ends: 1/4" (6.2mm); for connecting into a male thread attachment
This filter can be used in a variety of applications including: underbench filter, watercoolers, beverage dispensers, coffee machines, ice-makers, hydroponics and other uses.
Important notes on usage: (i) flow should not exceed 5 LPM; (ii) a Pressure Reduction Valve must be installed prior to filter (iii) take note of the flow direction to ensure filter installed correct way around so water flows through KDF then GAC (iv) flush for 5 minutes prior to use to remove any loose carbon fines (v) for quick connect JJ fittings, ensure tubing is cut square across (not diagonal) and push into the fitting until it bottoms (vi) For BB threaded fittings, must be wrapped with thread sealing tape and firmly tighten (vii) replace cartridge when rated capacity is reached or when flow becomes too slow (viii) should only be used for town water, not rain/tank/bore/surface.
Filter should be changed at least annually, particularly in commercial settings where usage is higher than in domestic settings.
