The technology used in our shower filter is certified by international health standards laboratories. The benefits of shower filters realised by this technology are as follows: What is Kinetic Degradation Fluxion Kinetic Degradation Fluxion (KDF) is a patented water treatment system that has been proven to be effective in removal of chlorine, chloramine, iron, bacteria, algae, fungus, hydrogen sulfide, many if not most heavy metals, and other problem contaminants. Patented KDF process media consist of high-purity copper-zinc formulations. These substances exchange electrons or bond with chlorine and other metals contained in the water to create harmless substances. Through this basic chemical process known as redox (oxidation/reduction), KDF process media work behind the scenes to rid your water of chlorine, lead, mercury, iron and hydrogen sulfide. The redox reaction also inhibits the growth of bacteria, algae, and fungi. As an added benefit, KDF media reduce lime scale, mold, and fungi in your tub or shower.KDF process media are completely safe. KDF media meet EPA and Food and Drug Administration standards for levels of zinc and copper in potable water, so the process is not toxic and does not cause any adverse side effects. Chemical Removal Test The Clark Corporation's research and development department (Wisconsin, USA) conducted tests on the effectiveness of KDF in removing chlorine in water. They found that the test carried out to 82,640 gallons (313,000L) before the test was terminated because of pressure loss. The KDF was still removing 94% of the chlorine. Harmful Bacteria Removal A study conducted by John W Wireman PhD, of Biological Research Solutions on Feb 2nd 1991 concluded that, "KDF possesses inherent toxicity to Ps. fluorescens that requires direct contact for maximum efficacy. The mode of action is likely to be via a rapid reduction in redox potential as water-borne bacteria contact the column. There seems to be great potential for this material to serve as an effective water treatment device to reduce or remove water pathogens such as Legionella pneumophila without the need for introduction of pesticides into the water."
