Description
Genuine 10JG5M+ USA made replacement in-line water filter. Contains KDF for enhanced chemical reduction. Available with 1/4″ Female Ports or 1/4″ Tube Fittings.
The 10JG5M+ is an enhanced version of the normal 10JG5M. In addition to carbon, it contains a media called KDF.
KDF is a proprietary media which contains copper and zinc. When water flows through KDF medial, an electrochemical process called oxidation/reduction occurs. This process makes certain contaminants lose or gain electrons, changing them into harmless molecules.
Chlorine loses a molecule to turn into chloride, a harmless electrolyte. If you are in an area with chloramines (chlorine + ammonia), some of those molecules will be split apart by the KDF. These processes remove a significant amount of chlorine/chloramines and makes it easier for the carbon in the filter to further reduce them.
KDF performs several other beneficial roles:
- Softening
Some calcium is precipitated from the water, softening it slightly - Heavy metal reduction
Some Heavy metals are reduced. Lead, for example, is electroplated onto the copper particles. - Bacteriostatic
The copper in KDF media is bacteriostatic, which means it will kill or incapacitate bacteria over time. This reduces the risk of bacterial growth within the filter media. (Please note: it will not stop bacteria flowing through at high flow rates)
The end result is a high-quality filter which makes your fridge’s water much safer and more enjoyable to consume.
This is a chemical reduction GAC filter. Reduces chlorine, dirt, rust, algae, bad taste, odours etc… Greatly improving water quality and taste.
These filters are available with and without fitting. Choose the 1/4″ tube fittings to connect to the standard 1/4″ plastic tubing found at the rear of fridges (measures 6mm across).
