Kinetic Degradation Fluxion (KDF) is a high-purity copper-zinc formulation that uses a basic chemical process known as redox (oxidation/reduction) to remove chlorine, lead, mercury, iron, and hydrogen sulfide from water supplies.By HomePlus Water on Aug 01, 2023 Question: How does KDF Work?
TDS meters measure the electrical conductivity of water. Pure water is a poor conductor, but total dissolved solids carry a distinct electrical charge that correlates directly to TDS levels. The greater the charge — the higher the level of dissolved solids. It’s the quickest way to get a fe...

Desalination Units:Specifically designed to remove dissolved solids from seawater. Requires approximately 1 psi for every 100 mg/L of solids, necessitating about 350 psi for seawater. Reverse Osmosis Units:Typically used for surface or well water with dissolved solids below 6,000 mg/L, operating at...
Pre-filter(s), which takes in the water from the cold-water line valve. There may be multiple pre-filters in a system. Most pre-filter types include sediment filters and carbon filters. Sediment water filters are designed to remove sediments like dirt, sand, dust, and silts, while carbon...
If the water comes from a municipal water source that uses chlorine as a disinfectant, the manufacturer may further treat the water to remove the chlorine. Spring water: Spring water comes from a protected, underground water source from which the water flows to the surface on its own. It ...
I do use stain stick (or equivalent) if there is a stain to remove, but other than that, I don’t add detergent, because that’s just one more compound the balls have to remove! One tip: because the large outer ball is plastic, it can have rough spots that can catch on delicate ...
Check –Soil or soilless growers who hand water their plants should check the pH of their runoff water to make sure it’s in the right range – try to test the earliest runoff if possible. Hydroponic growers can check the pH of their water by testing a small sample from their water rese...
Although bromide itself is not toxic, the concern to downstream drinking water sources is the potential formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs). Conventional potable water treatment processes do not remove bromide, yet bromate, trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) form when ...
The main purpose of a reverse osmosis filter is to remove the micro-organisms and total dissolved solids (TDS) present in water. Total dissolved solids include minerals, as well as organic molecules present in the water. Of all these small molecules, some may be beneficial trace minerals, but...
