Aries (AF-20-2211) 20"x2.5" (1 lb) KDF85-GAC Filter

Aries (AF-20-2211) 20"x2.5" (1 lb) KDF85-GAC Filter

The Aries AF-20-2211 combines 1 lb of KDF85 redox media with coconut shell granular activated carbon in a 20"x2.5" cartridge engineered for well water applications requiring iron and hydrogen sulfide removal. This dual-media filter uses oxidation-reduction chemistry and bacteriostatic properties to treat problem water at the whole-house level.
SPECIFICATIONS

Filter Specifications

Model Number AF-20-2211
Dimensions 20" x 2.5"
Media Composition 1 lb KDF85 + Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
Carbon Type ResinTech Coconut Shell GAC
Primary Applications Iron reduction, hydrogen sulfide removal, chlorine removal
Housing Compatibility Standard 20" filter housings (2.5" diameter)
Bacteriostatic Properties Yes, inhibits microbial growth in filter media
TECHNOLOGY

How KDF85 and GAC Work Together

KDF85 is a high-purity copper-zinc redox alloy designed specifically for removing hydrogen sulfide and reducing dissolved iron through oxidation-reduction reactions and mechanical filtration. Unlike KDF55 (which targets chlorine and heavy metals in municipal water), KDF85 excels in well water environments where sulfur odors and iron staining are common. The granular activated carbon component provides broad-spectrum adsorption of organic contaminants, tastes, and odors, while the KDF85 extends the carbon's useful life by preventing premature fouling and limiting bacterial colonization within the filter bed.

COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS

Where This Filter Fits

The Aries AF-20-2211 is designed for whole-house or well water filtration systems using standard 20-inch housings. It works best as a specialty filter stage installed after sediment pre-filtration to address iron, hydrogen sulfide, and residual organics. This cartridge is not a sediment filter and should be protected by upstream filtration to prevent premature media fouling. Suitable for private wells, rural water supplies, and any application where redox chemistry offers a chemical-free alternative to chlorination or oxidizing agents.

💧 Pro Tip: KDF85 performs best when water has been pre-filtered to remove sediment and particulate iron. For heavy iron loads above 3-5 ppm, consider pairing this filter with an upstream oxidation stage or sediment filter rated at 5 microns or less to maximize cartridge life.
