KDF media is an extremely heavy copper-zinc alloy; a full 20-inch cartridge would weigh over 50 lbs, risking damage to plastic housings.
It is typically sold as a layered component inside GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) cartridges to extend the life of the carbon and kill bacteria.
Most whole-house KDF applications use large tank systems rather than small cartridges to prevent the heavy media from clumping or "channeling."
