GAC = Granular Activated Carbon is the most common method of water filtration. Better quality GAC filters include KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) in the system.
GAC has a slight electro-positive charge added to it . It is probably the most powerful absorbent available, hence the popular use with water filtration. It is most effective in the removal of organic compounds including VOC’s (volatile gasses), radon, chlorine and trihalomethanes. It is a very cost effective form of filtration. Does not remove fluoride.
KDF is a high purity copper-zinc formula. Through a process known as redox, KDF is able to remove chlorine, lead, iron, mercury and hydrogen sulphide from water. It also has a mild anti-bacterial algaecide and fungicidal effect an reduces the accumulation of lime scale. It is often selected for use in shower filters because of its effectiveness in hot water, and as a pre-filter to multiple filtration systems e.g. Reverse Osmosis and Double under and above counter . Does not remove fluoride.
The AlphaAqua double under counter filter is installed in the cupboard under the kitchen sink and has it's own outlet tap supplied. Requires installation, either DIY or plumber. Filters through KDF and GAC (carbon) with the addition of a 1 micron barrier post filter. This system is excellent value.
