How the media works

The Fleck Lead in Water System’s secret lies in its advanced media blend of KDF-55 and catalytic carbon. KDF-55 employs a redox (oxidation-reduction) process that chemically bonds dissolved lead particles, effectively removing them from solution. This reaction captures lead ions and converts them into harmless compounds, preventing them from passing through into your taps. Complementing this, catalytic carbon adsorbs residual lead and other contaminants with a high surface area designed for capturing impurities. Together, these media act as a powerhouse filter, specializing in eliminating lead while preserving beneficial minerals to maintain the natural quality of your water.
