KDF 85 Filtration Media for Sulfur, Iron, Bacteria, Heavy Metals (1 lb.)

He comprado muchos filtros de ducha para quitar el mal olor del agua pero ninguno me funcionaba, compre este producto para probarlo y fue lo mejor q pude hacer, cambie el contenido de adentro de uno de los cartuchos de filtro q habia comprado y puse este producto y desapareció por completo el mal olor del agua. Lo volvere a comprar gracias

I ordered the KDF85 & 55 together and it came together in the same package, so I will write one review for both products. Years ago I installed a whole house filter using two 20-inch Big Blue pre-filter stages. The first is for the sediment filter and the second stage originally was a carbon block filter. Well anything with carbon, as you know, will get fouled with time. My sediment filter was still working but my carbon block filter had become clogged and started leaking from the sides. So I decided to forego anything with carbon in it. I went ahead and bought an "Empty Refillable Filter Cartridge for 20" Big Blue Housing," also from Amazon; you can do a search and see it for yourself.I had plan to purchase 5 pounds of both KDF 85 & 55, but I forgot to update my cart and ended up with only one pound of KDF 85. LOL.I'm glad when you buy a certain poundage of media they always give you a little more than what you ordered.The packaging is a little disconcerning. Both items together were way over 6 pounds! Yet it was sent in a post office priority box with very little cushioning. The crumbled up brown paper that was to act as shipping cushioning had all been smashed flat by the heavy media. When the box arrived, it had a very large gash on the side of the box. I was really afraid the contents inside were damaged. The only saving grace was that both the media were wrapped in thick bubble wrap. I do wish they had label the bags, the only way I figured it out was KDF85 was a pound and KDF55 was five pounds. If they were the same, I wouldn't have known. Also be careful of unrolling the media from their bags, one bag didn't have a ziplock top; I almost spilled it.Post Script: Keep in mind KDF55 only removes Chlorine and NOT Chloramine. You have to look at your individual city water report to see if your city adds Chloramine to your water supply. Chloramine is like the ugly step-sister of Chlorine. Unfortunately, my city does add Chloramine. In order to remove Chloramine, you would have to buy media with coconut or walnut shells in it, I believe (don't quote me on that though).

As a Master Plumber dealing with water issues we found this..Our well water after the iron removal and softener still has a Sulphur odor. We refill a 4" x 10" canister filter cartridge, installed after softener with 1 lb KD85 and top off with catalytic carbon and we are odor free up to 6 months. Works beautiful.

For me the placement of media was a key factor. At first there was no change in the sulfur smell in the water. I had installed this before the water softener. Only after I moved the placement of this to AFTER the water softener did the sulfur smell go away. I had given up hope on this product and thought I had gotten ripped off. Then due to dumb luck and a situation that forced me to move my filters to the outlet side of the water softener. The sulfur smell went away. I was bewildered that it was that simple as to placement in the system that made this product work like it was supposed to. I had initially left 1 star and a not so great review. I'm changing that today. This is a great product. A+

Cleans my well water as usual. It removed the sulfer smell from the hydrogen sulfide. I use a sediment filter before the kdf85 and a carbon after.

Put 10 pounds gravel 1/2 cubic ft. Of Katolite and 1 pound of KDF and problem solved.Company wanted 400 dollars to Rebed my filter and rid me of sulfur and I rebed it for 150.00.Great product.Works great no surfer!

i don't like the product because there are no directions as to where to put it in my water system.

does exactly what it claims to do, but because of high mass and low volume, I needed more than I bought, had to use filler in my cartridge.
