<p>My husband picked up a shower filter for me to put inline with the hose so I don't have to fill buckets for offgassing every day. When I looked up what the filter media is it says it uses, "clorgon and kdf". KDF is a mixture of copper and zinc. I've read elsewhere that copper isn't so much a problem if the water is just flowing through it once, that it becomes much more of a problem when it sits in the tank, but I wasn't sure if this was okay to use since it's basically ultra fine particles…</p>

<p>P.S. I know they make inline hose filters, which are actually what I asked him to get. Does anyone know what the filtration media used in those are? I plan on getting one of those next, just wondering if this would be okay in the meantime.</p>
