CuZn Water Filtration Systems
CuZn Turbo Shower Filter
Filters Water As You Shower, Removing Chlorine Plus
Hundreds
of Other Water Contaminants (15,000 Gallon Capacity)
CuZn's
is the developer of the patented Filter Foam Power Disk water filtration
technology that uses a combination of copper and zinc (patented under
the trade name KDF®) in water treatment systems to remove chlorine, iron,
lead and other heavy metals, bacteria and other micro-organisms, hydrogen
sulfide and hundreds of other organic and inorganic problem contaminants
from the water supply. It also reduces scale and hardness, but retains
minerals to balance water.
The CuZn TurboShower® utilizes the new PowerDisk™ Patented FilterFoam® Technology, designed exclusively by CuZn for shower filter applications. The new PowerDisk™ with it's non-woven filter pad will eliminate dirt, sediment, odors and chlorine that causes dry, itchy, flaky skin, brittle hair, eye, lung and sinus irritation. Added PowerDisk™ benefits are your shower will stay cleaner longer because it reduces lime scale, mold, and mildew deposits and helps to soften your water naturally without salt, leaving your skin supple and smooth and your hair soft, silky and manageable.

What Is the Difference Between KDF 55 and KDF 85?
Both KDF®55 and KDF®85 media removes a significant amount of water-soluble lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, copper, arsenic and other dissolved metals. Both are effective in controlling the buildup of bacteria, algae, fungi and scale, even in hot water, making them ideal for use in GAC (granulated activated carbon) beds, ion exchange resins, carbon block filters and inline carbon filters. Additionally, KDF®55 significantly reduces free and combined chlorine, and KDF 85 significantly reduces chloramine, iron and hydrogen sulfide. KDF®85 also removes free and combined chlorine, but about 20% less effectively than KDF®55. Read more about KDF filters
On Home Testing of Shower Filters
Chlorine in water may be present in two forms, free and combined. Free chlorine does the hard work of killing bacteria and oxidizing contaminants. When you add chlorine to water, you are actually adding free chlorine. When the free chlorine combines with contaminants, it becomes combined chlorine or chloramines. In water, this form of chlorine has very little sanitizing ability, and no oxidizing ability. Total chlorine is just the sum of both combined chlorine and free chlorine.
CuZn TurboShower Filters are designed to remove free chlorine (CL) from water. Because of how Copper-Zinc works, OTO (orthotolodine pool testing kits that measure chlorine in water) tests do not give accurate readings. Copper and Zinc ions recombine with the chlorine molecules to produce cupric chloride and zinc chloride. Therefore, any test that measures the CI ion (such as OTO and some DPD tests) will show positive in the presence of cupric chloride and zinc chloride. The test may show positive when testing the TurboShower even though the TurboShower is working perfectly to remove the harmful chlorine. The DPD #1 Test, which tests only for CI2 is the only way to accurately measure the TurboShower's effectiveness.
However, even DPD #1 will not accurately test chlorine's removal from water in the presence of chloramines. Chloramine is produced when a municipality injects both chlorine and ammonia simultaneously into the water supply. This is done to reduce CI2's ability to combine with organic matter in the water and thereby produce potentially harmful trihalomethanes (THMs). Because chloramine has less disinfecting ability than free chlorine, a higher concentration of chlorine in usually used to get the same bacteria kill rate. 1
Additionally, the presence of iodine ions in water will magnify the chloramine interference when using the OTO and DPD test methods. Also, oxidized manganese in the water may interfere with the DPD procedure. 1,2
To get accurate readings of CL2 levels, an amperometric titration method should be used because it is least likely to reflect interferences.
CuZn's KDF®55 filter removes about 95% of free and combined chlorine; CuZn KDF®85 removes about 75% of free and combined chlorine as a new filter and diminishes in capability as the filter is used, as do all water filters. There is only one accurate water test that is capable of measuring both free and combined chlorine -- DPD#1 Test. Unfortunately, because of the nature of the beast, false readings are common, as described above.
For practical purposes, a person's body will tell him or her when the filtration media is exhausted and is letting chlorine through. Besides one's nose noticing the disagreeable chlorine smell, one's skin and hair will become dry, flaky, and itchy in the presence of chlorine.
