WSP 1/3 cu. ft. Filter Media - Kdf- Process

If your water treatment tank isn’t performing well, the problem may be the filter media inside it. The WSP 1/3 cu. ft. Filter Media – KDF Process is the material that does the actual cleaning of your water inside the tank. It helps reduce chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants that affect taste and can cause buildup in your system.

The problem you’re facing

If your water tastes like a swimming pool, smells like chlorine, or leaves stains and deposits on fixtures, your filter media could be worn out or ineffective. You might also notice your filtration system needs more frequent maintenance or replacement parts because it’s working harder than it should.

Why this happens

Inside your water treatment tank, the filter media is what interacts directly with your water to trap or reduce impurities. Over time, the media gets clogged or loses its ability to handle contaminants, so it can’t keep your water clean or protect your equipment. A simple water test or noticing persistent taste and odor issues usually confirms this problem.

What it costs you to leave it

When the media isn’t working right, your water may keep tasting off or smelling unpleasant. More importantly, your water heater and other appliances might get scale buildup faster, using more energy and wearing out sooner. You’ll spend more time scrubbing fixtures and have to use more soap or detergent to get things clean. These inconveniences add up without a clear fix.

How this filter media works

The KDF-85 media inside this 1/3 cubic foot container uses a chemical process called redox, short for oxidation-reduction. In simple terms, it changes certain contaminants like chlorine and heavy metals into harmless particles. These get trapped inside the media bed, while the treated water moves on cleaner and better tasting. It also helps stop bacteria from growing in the system, keeping the whole filter working smoothly longer.

What this media can handle

This filter media helps reduce chlorine, lead, mercury, and other heavy metals that can affect your water’s taste and cause damage over time. It supports your existing carbon filters or resins by preventing them from fouling too quickly. The 1/3 cubic foot size fits standard filter housings and can work in residential or light commercial water treatment setups. It’s designed to handle typical household water use without needing constant attention.

What you actually get

You receive one drum containing 1/3 cubic foot of KDF-85 media. This granular copper-zinc alloy is ready to be placed inside your existing filtration tank when it’s time to replace the media bed. The exact setup depends on your tank size and water conditions, which you or your plumber will confirm.

Is this the right size for you

This 1/3 cubic foot size suits standard residential filter tanks and some small commercial units. If your tank is larger or your water has higher levels of contaminants, you might need a bigger media volume or a different system. If you’re unsure, it’s best to check with a water professional or your plumber before ordering.

Living with it

Once installed, this media usually lasts for several months to years, depending on your water quality and usage. Occasional inspection and water testing help you know when it’s time to replace. Because it reduces fouling in your system, it can lower the overall maintenance effort on other filters and your equipment.

What it won’t do

This media does not soften water by removing hardness minerals like calcium or magnesium. It also doesn’t filter out sediment or particles, so you’ll need additional filters if those are issues. For bacteria or virus removal beyond what this media inhibits, you would need specialized disinfection equipment.
