KDF is a redox media, meaning reduction by oxidation, it is made with copper & zinc, so your adding copper to the water. it is difficult to backwash and may calcify, it takes over 100 gallons to back wash properly wasting water, if not done correctly and most home owners don't know they are rendering it useless.
The external canisters are far superior.

Sorry Bob,
You lost me there, are you saying that with your three cartridge system you don't need a water softener because it acts like one anyway?
