Independent laboratory tests confirm that KDF-55 is one of the best tools for improving drinking and bathing water naturally and economically. Compared to carbon-only units, KDF-55 lasts far longer, doesn't permit bacterial growth, and removes a much wider range of inorganic matter (e.g. heavy metals). Compared to reverse-osmosis, KDF-55 is less expensive, wastes no water, does not require membrane replacement, works at most water temperatures and pressures, and removes chlorine.

The UltraPure™ Shower Filter is a patented, high purity alloy of copper and zinc. It eliminates contaminants from water by utilizing the principle of electrochemical oxidation-reduction, known as redox potential. Some substances are positively charged and are attracted to the negative charge of the zinc. Others are negatively charged and attracted to the positive charge of the copper. It uses the redox principle in the presence of dissolved oxygen to effectively remove chlorine, chlorinated hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulfide, bacteria, algae, fungi, and metals like lead, iron, arsenic, aluminum, mercury, and cadmium from water.

As water containing dissolved substances enters a field of high purity copper-zinc granules, copper becomes a cathode and zinc an anode. The tiny space between each granule becomes an electrolytic cell, with the water and its contents acting as the electrolyte.

As contaminants and oxygen pass through, some minerals and heavy metals stick to the surface of the granules. Other contaminants react causing zinc oxides, sulfates, hydroxides, and copper hydroxides to form in controlled amounts. These compounds are carried into the filtered water and along with ozone created in the process, provide hostile conditions for viruses, algae, fungi, and bacteria.

The copper and zinc chelates produced by the system are not only harmless in the amounts produced, they are actually healthful nutrients to the human body.
