There are quite literally, hundreds of water filtration products, brands, applications and processes available in the Water Filtration market and trying to find a product that you feel comfortable with is an exhausting process. Every manufacturer is going to claim their product is the best. At WASLIX “Clear Clean Water” my research started with trying to find the best clean water system I could get for my home and family.
I quickly discovered there is a huge discrepancy in ‘expert’ opinions, reviews, and manufacturer video testimonials. To complicate matters even further, when I started paying more attention to what ‘backwashing’ actually meant, and realizing I would loose 3-4 times the amount of water for what I gained. I quickly decided backwashing systems were not for me. Ruling out back washing waste water and filters that need to be replaced every 3-12 months; I hoped something better was available...

CuZn Manufacturers Water Filtration Systems that do not require backwashing, offer advanced multi stage filtering technology, very affordable and in some cases filters are designed to last 5 years!
Water Filtration Technology by CuZn
Patented Technology
CuZn has patented a 50 times larger Reticulation Water Filtering surface area that is vital at removing more chemicals, VOCs & other contaminants from your water over traditional granular medias. In conjunction, CuZn’s patented Filter Foam Technology ensures contaminants are adsorbed as they make contact with the powerful filtration media.
Greater Contact Time
When water spends more time being in contact with filtration mediums, the cleaner the water will become. CuZn filtration medias creates a torturous water flow path ensuring the entire body of water comes into direct contact with the purifying filters. Unlike granular medias, Reticulated Media porous nature behaves as an safeguard for high water flow rate efficiency, resulting in virtually no pressure loss that will never pack channel or become plugged.
Higher Efficiency
2 Ounces of CuZn Patented FilterFoam Media Technology, developed in the United States, is equivalent to 1 pound of traditional granular media. These water filters are highly efficient with no backwashing requirements. It is with this compact advantage that allows CuZn Technology to also perform in large scale industrial environments.
Saves Time and Money
There are hundreds of filtration models available on the market from counter top Reverse Osmosis to whole house water filtration salt systems. CuZn’s efficient design makes installation easy, reducing or eliminating costs associated with maintenance; and their lightweight, compact systems last longer and outperform the competition.
All Natural and Earth Friendly
CuZn’s water filters were designed by observing the Earth’s very own filtration process and are manufactured from natural minerals in their purest powdered form. The high purity of our medias will allow you to produce and enjoy pure, natural spring water right from your home’s tap. Virtually all of our filtration medias are will biodegrade in a compost setting in about 3 years and components are designed to be recyclable.Why does it work?
KDF Reticulated Foam
Patented TechnologyKDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) is a high-purity copper-zinc formulation that uses redox (oxidation/reduction) to remove chlorine, lead, mercury, iron, and hydrogen sulfide from water supplies.
KDF redox process works by exchanging electrons with contaminants. This “give and take” of electrons converts many contaminants into harmless components. During this reaction, electrons are transferred between molecules, and new elements are created. Some harmful contaminants are changed into harmless components. Others are electrochemically bound to the KDF media.
CuZn Patented KDF disks have several advantages over granular KDF. Our disks eliminate the need for backwashing, conserve water, reduce compaction, eliminate the need for cartridges and plastic waste, and are even recyclable. The disks are easier to use, maintain and refill than cartridge systems, plus they offer greater surface area for better performance.
Oxidation Reduction Process
KDF is a patented product a major advancement in water treatment technology that works on basic process known as REDOX (oxidation/reduction) principles, representing a new and unique way of water processing medium which by its natural process of electrochemical oxidation/reduction and adsorption action reduces and/or removes many unwanted contaminants from water.KDF medium is a versatile, specially formulated high purity, bimetal material. This product operates as a multifunctional medium which has superior capabilities of de-chlorination of drinking water and reduces dissolved heavy metals in water supplies.
The media inhibits bacteria growth (fungi, algae and mold) and reduces lime scale, mold, and fungi. throughout the entire unit. In fact, testing has shown that it reduces it up to 90%; thus eliminating the need for silver, commonly used in carbon-only filters. Silver is considered a pesticide by the EPA and, as such, must be registered with EPA.
Patented KDF media consists of a high purity copper-zinc formulation. These substances exchange electrons or bond with chlorine and other metals contained in the water to create harmless substances.
KDF is completely safe and meets EPA and FDA standards for levels of zinc and copper in potable water, so the process is not toxic and does not cause any adverse side effects.
What is KDF?
Kinetic Degradation Fluxion (KDF) is a high-purity copper-zinc formulation that uses a basic process known as redox (oxidation/reduction) to remove chlorine, lead, mercury, iron, and hydrogen sulfide from water supplies.
How does KDF Work?
In short, the KDF redox process works by exchanging electrons with contaminants. This “give and take” of electrons converts many contaminants into harmless components. During this reaction, electrons are transferred between molecules, and new elements are created. Some harmful contaminants are changed into harmless components. Others are electrochemically bound to the KDF media.
What Contaminants Does KDF Remove?
KDF process media works to reduce or remove chlorine, iron, hydrogen sulfide, lead, mercury, calcium carbonate, magnesium, chromium, bacteria, algae, and fungi. Redox media removes up to 98% of water-soluble cations (positively-charged ions) of lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals. In most cases, more than 98% of chlorine is removed if operated within recommended flow rates.
Will KDF remove Iron from the Water?
Redox media alloys function as catalysts to change soluble ferrous cations (positively-charged ions) into insoluble ferric hydroxide, which can be removed with regular backwashing. With enough oxygen dissolved in the water, iron removal rates of 98 percent or better are common.
How Does KDF Remove Chlorine from the Water?
High-purity copper-zinc redox media consistently remove 99% of free chlorine by electrochemically reducing dissolved chlorine gas to water-soluble chloride ions.
How does KDF Remove Hydrogen Sulfide from the Water?
When hydrogen sulfide contaminated water enters the KDF filter, the copper in the KDF media loses an electron and the sulfur gains an electron and copper sulfide and water are formed. The copper sulfide is insoluble in water and can be backwashed off the KDF filter media
Will the KDF process media remove heavy metals such as lead from the water?
KDF media remove up to 98% of water-soluble cations (positively-charged ions) of lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals. When filtered through KDF media, soluble lead cations are reduced to insoluble lead atoms, which are electroplated onto the surface of the media. Other heavy metals bond to the media and may be recovered when the exhausted media pass through a copper smelter.
Will the KDF process media control microorganism growth in the water filters?
KDF media are incorporated into carbon blocks and other matrices for bacteria control and scale reduction. The oxidation/reduction potential (ORP) shift by a factor of -300mV or more for water filtered through redox media controls microorganism growth. Treating water reduces bacteria and other microorganisms by disrupting electron transport, causing cellular damage. KDF process media also kill bacteria by direct electrochemical contact and by the flash formation of hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide, both of which interfere with a microorganism’s ability to function.
Will the KDF filter systems add any toxic substances to the water?
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. You may not even realize that KDF process media are working for you. KDF edia is the core product of many filtration systems, and can be used in conjunction with other products to provide superior purification.

Activated Carbon Reticulated Foam
Activated Carbon is one of the oldest and most commonly used medias in liquid and gas phase purification. Activated carbon is a porous material that removes organic compounds from liquids and gases by a process known as "adsorption." In adsorption, organic molecules contained in a liquid or gas are attracted and bound to the surface of the pores of the activated carbon as the liquid or gas is passed through. Many varieties of activated carbon are available that each focus on a different set of contaminants, mainly due to the difference in their pore structure. Activated carbons can also be impregnated with other substances to achieve further levels of purification.Foamulations Increased Efficiency
Foamulations’ reticulated medias outperform the same medias in granular form because of chemical kinetics and the Collision Theory. This is accomplished by the size of the particle and the reticulated structure which causes a torturous path for the influent gas or liquid solution. The law of mass action states that the speed of a chemical reaction is proportional to the quantity of the reacting substances. In the case of Foamulations’ medias it is the quantity of readily available surface area- as the particles decrease in size the surface area increases exponentially. In relation to Collision Theory the more collisions created the higher percentage of chemical reactions. The reticulated structure assures the influent stream will see many collisions with the most efficient particle possible.

Foamulations Pressure Differential
One of the main benefits of Foamulations’ reticulated medias is the lack of PSID (pressure differential) over standard filtration cartridges. Most 4.5” diameter filtration cartridges max out at approximately 4-5gpm. Foamulations’ cartridges have been pushed upwards of 10gpm and still show lower PSID than all other filtration cartridges. Foamulations’ cartridges also filter axially so the influent sees a much larger bed depth than that of comparable radially own cartridges. The reticulated structure can also act as a separation or dispersion layer which will help to decrease the overall PSID even when used in conjunction with granular medias.

5D Reticulated Foam
5D Purification Media is a very strong adsorbent for many Heavy Metals, Fluoride, Bacteria and Viruses that will not release the chemical bonds formed in the puri¬fication process. This media has been tested at high and low concentrations, a full range of PH levels and both high and low flow rates. All tests have shown that 5D is a more efficient filtration media for Both Arsenic III & V and for Fluoride than the available competing technologies. Foamulations’ unique reticulated delivery system for the nanoparticleallows this amazing media to perform in small gravity flow situations and in high pressure fast flow situations. 5D is also one of the only known passive biocides. Though the exact mechanism is still being researched it is believed that the 5D disrupts the cell wall instantly killing and adsorbing the biological contaminations from both gas and liquid influent streams.

ATS/SZT Reticulated Foam
ATS is a ceramic, cationic ion-exchanger with high specificity for lead and other heavy metals. ATS is not affected by competing ions like calcium and magnesium and will not leach either organic or inorganic residues. ATS has an amorphous crystalline structure and a bulk density of ~68lbs/Cu.Ft.SZT is an inorganic silicate compound with a negative internal polarity. SZT has a definite crystalline lattice structure of exceptional stability and a bulk density of ~30lbs/Cu.Ft. The negative polarity gives SZT an affinity for ammonium, lead, mercury, cadmium and other dissolved metals.
Foamulations has combined these two refined medias at optimum proportions to achieve a more efficient, higher capacity product for lead removal. Foamulations’ reticulated matrix maximizes the collisions seen by these highly active particles and does not require carbon impregnation as a carrier. ATS and SZT have been the industry standard lead removal additives to carbon granular and carbon block media for several years. These products are effective but unlike Foamulations‘ reticulated media forms, are limited in the amount of ATS/SZT that can be used. Foamulations’ ATS/SZT reticulated media makes gravity flow, high flow, and low pressure applications all possible in both liquid and gas phase filtration.
