How does KD85 compare with KD55D? Another company advertises a KD55D filter with a 97% lead removal. Is this comparable?

KDF85 does everything that KDF55 does and more. In additional to soluble heavy metal and chlorine removal it also removes chloramines, iron, manganese, H2S and some light metals like aluminum.

Hi, I wanted to update this info. In looking at all various pricing of these filters, I must say that the quality and price of these, are the best in what's out there!! I'd say that they're worth it!! I change mine often.. I live in dusty Arizona!

Reverse osmosis systems can remove 90+% of the lead. The RCB4T will do better than most "under sink" units as it has a booster pump that increases the water pressure going to the membrane. You might want to read: http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/water/az9419.pdf

I have to admit--I never checked into that aspect of these filters--you'll have to ask the K&N; company itself for an answer to that one...I just know that the check valve and easy install/removal aspects of this design filter made me latch on to them for my bike...

I"m sorry, im not sure what the difference is.... when I ordered the filters for my yamaha tour deluxe, the cleaning kit came with it for a few bucks more. If i recall, the 9500 either had smaller size of cleaning kit, or didnt have it ... sorry cant be of more help

If you go to the King Controls web site you can access the operator manual. In it you will find the KD5500 can use the ViP211z, ViP211k, ViP211 and the 411. I use it with the 211k and it works great. I would say the 311 is out.

sorry I thought you were asking about the sigma 35/1.4. The filter size of the 85/1.4 is 77mm.

I've used it extensively. Skin tones still look spot on and I don't have any sharpness issues which would show up because the Fuji 56mm I use it on is extremely sharp so I was worried about that. Honestly I'm quite surprised how well it works for a budget filter. I was a B&W; only guy but this one has been a nice surprise. No magenta shift like I typically see with budget filters, nice fit too.

I have had my DC 17 for about 6 months and went to clean the filter this week for the first time & found it to be spotless. There wasn't a fleck of dirt or dog hair on it. Does this make sense to anyone?

To be honest, I Loved mine! I have since upgraded to a aqueon filter for my 75 gallon and is excellent as well! I swear by their filters. Bit don't ever buy their led bubble strips! They are all junk! :)

None of the cartridge filters remove TDS. If you want that, you need reverse osmosis.It's a choice. Some people don't want to remove minerals, just organics and lead, some do.

Contact: knfilters.com for that specific intel. I did a trial run of taking a new 170c oil filter adding oil and the next day drained down the oil. next step was to weigh the filter. Log this number. Then install it on the motorcycle and after 3,000 miles, remove the filter and drain. I weighed it and was impressed with the collection quality of the K & N Filters. I use these in my two cycles and my wifes Sportster. I also use them in my car and truck. I have been working on motorcycles for over 40 yrs. and am a certified tech. I hope this helped you.

Not sure of the difference, but the 9552 is excellent. Got (2) have held up in dusty drywall conditions, still working great. Well worth the money. Don't buy In store look alike's, they don't hold up.

I have a D70BP and a D50BP. The D70BP I use during the damp winter months we get here in Florida and it is in an area with rugs. I clean the filter about every two week. The D50BP is in a room where I keep photo equipment and musical instruments; there is only a terrazzo floor and I clean it each month but it really doesn't need it. It is easily cleaned with a brush and then under a faucet.

I believe the difference is the level of filtration. I use the ez4 b/c It filters out more and smaller contaminant particles

Works fine, but Neewer ND filters are horrible compared to Lightshop's ND filter I own both. I started with the Neewer only to experience horrible result when you close it all the way down which I need to for some water shots.

Dear Michael. The Mann filter is the one designed in cooperation with BMW for the engine on your vehicle. The K & N is designed to be a "high flow", not necessarily adhering to BMWs specifications. Its debatable whether performance improvements can be had from a flow rate different than what BMW decided. The Mann filter is built to the exact flow rate and other attributes ascribed by BMW for its engine. BMW designs engines, filters and everything else with the driver's experience paramount. I would think their decision on the flow rate is the ideal one. It is possible with increased flow smaller particulates getting into the engine oil and crankcase, which counteracts the purpose of the filter. My recommendation is to use the Mann filter, or another brand designed to BMW's specifications such as Mahle or Hengst (among others). I hope this answers your question.
