How a shower filter works

The most popular technology used in a shower filter is called KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion). KDF involves a process called redox to purify water.

KDF technology converts harmful elements in water into harmless substances. KDF also discourages growth of algae and fungi. It also improves the PH balance of the water. It is also not affected by the temperature
