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.
- 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.
Filter should be changed at least annually, or when rated capacity is met or flow slows, whichever occurs first; particularly in commercial/office settings where it may need to be changed more frequently as usage can be higher than in domestic settings.
Important notes on usage: (i) flow should not exceed 5 LPM; (ii) a PRV 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 at least annually, when rated capacity is reached or when flow becomes too slow (viii) should only be used for town water, not rain/tank/bore/surface (ix) Filters with JJ fittings come from the factory with a small tubing in the ends to protect from dust; this tubing needs to be carefully removed prior to installation; to release the tubing it is important to hold the collet fitting against the filter body with a fingernail and gently pull the tubing out; if you rip it out then it may damage the fitting and any warranty is void; if this does happen during your installation then it is important not to continue the installation and call us and return the filter as we may be able to supply replacement collet fittings.
