Our 8-Stage KDF Filtration System

Our 8-stage KDF water filter is the core of our product range. Unlike basic carbon filters, our 8-stage system uses multiple media types in sequence — each targeting different contaminants:

  1. Coarse sediment layer
  2. KDF-55 fine granule media (removes heavy metals, reduces chlorine)
  3. Activated carbon (removes chlorine, VOCs, taste/odour compounds)
  4. Ceramic stage (removes bacteria and fine particles)
  5. Maifan mineral stones (releases beneficial minerals)
  6. Far infrared balls (raises pH, adds minerals)
  7. Mineral balls (adds trace minerals)
  8. Fine sediment layer (final polish)

KDF media is available in multiple granular forms — KDF-55 is most effective at removing chlorine and soluble heavy metals. It can also be incorporated into carbon blocks to enhance their efficiency and extend service life. KDF has antibacterial properties and performs effectively at higher water temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes KDF filtration different from standard carbon filters?

KDF media removes heavy metals and reduces chlorine through a redox (electrochemical) reaction — a different mechanism to activated carbon adsorption. Using both in sequence provides broader contaminant removal than either alone. KDF also extends the life of downstream carbon stages.

How do I know when to replace my filter cartridge?

Every 6–12 months, or sooner if you notice a change in taste or reduced flow. See our guide: When to Replace Your Water Filter Cartridges.
