The AMPAC USA 20" KDF-GAC Polyphosphate Filter (KGP-20-BB) combines three media types - KDF, Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), and polyphosphate - to address chlorine, organic contaminants, and iron in a single 20-inch cartridge sized for standard Big Blue housings.

  • KDF media reduces 99% of chlorine taste and odor
  • Bacteriostatic properties inhibit bacteria, algae, and fungi growth
  • GAC adsorbs VOCs, pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals
  • Polyphosphate sequesters iron to reduce staining and scale buildup
  • Fits standard Big Blue filter housings

The KDF media works through an electrochemical reaction that reduces 99% of chlorine taste and odor from municipal water, while also creating an electrolytic field that generates peroxide and hydroxyl radicals - an environment unfavorable to bacteria, algae, and fungi. That bacteriostatic effect helps prevent biofouling and can extend the life of the overall filtration system.

The GAC component adds a second layer of protection, adsorbing volatile organic compounds, pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals that affect taste, odor, and safety. Together, KDF and GAC provide more thorough contaminant reduction than a single-media filter.

The polyphosphate media addresses a different problem: high iron concentrations that cause staining on fixtures and laundry and contribute to metallic tastes. By sequestering iron, it prevents it from precipitating out of the water, reducing rust stains and scale buildup and protecting plumbing and appliances like dishwashers and washing machines.

Manufactured to AMPAC USA's quality standards, the KGP-20-BB is designed as a straightforward replacement filter for homes, offices, and light commercial applications that need broad-spectrum water quality improvement in one cartridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the KDF media in this filter do?

It reduces 99% of chlorine taste and odor through an electrochemical reaction and provides bacteriostatic properties that inhibit bacteria, algae, and fungi growth.

Does this filter help with iron in my water?

Yes. The polyphosphate media sequesters iron, helping prevent staining, metallic taste, and scale buildup on plumbing and appliances.

What contaminants does the GAC component target?

The Granular Activated Carbon adsorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals affecting taste and odor.

What size housing is this filter designed for?

It's a 20-inch cartridge built to fit standard Big Blue filter housings.

Is this filter suited for residential or commercial use?

Both. It's designed for homes, offices, and light commercial applications that need combined chlorine, organic contaminant, and iron reduction.
