2, 3. KDF55 and KDF85 reduce iron, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium and other dissolved metals, and harmful bacteria. Also make filter bacteriostatic (no more bacteria growth) and increase the life of filter.
4. The ion exchange resin reduces heavy metals such as lead, copper, aluminum, and water hardness. 5. Granulated activated carbon (GAC) reduces chlorine (99.9%), bad taste and odors, reduces pesticides and chemicals that are linked to cancer risks (benzene, TTHMs and toxaphene).
