How to Remove Chloramines From Your Water

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Chloramines are heralded for their ability to keep public drinking water safe, but unfortunately, they have some nasty side effects. From skin and eye irritation to a sharp chemical taste, chloramines can leave you with bloodshot eyes after a shower and ruin the taste of your drinking water. Unfortunately, chloramines are much trickier to remove from water than free chlorine. A standard carbon filter won’t remove chloramines alone. Instead, a more comprehensive water filtration system like reverse osmosis or a catalytic carbon filter is required.

    Thanks for the info. What system would work best for removing chloramine in my house. I have freshwater aquariums which I found out the hard way that they don't use chlorine in my town. I have lost many fish. I use reptisafe drops, but doesn't work the best. It does help, but I still lose fish. Thx

    It depends on how much water you use. For the average house, the "catalytic carbon" in the tank needs to be dumped & replaced about every 5 years.

    There's a few ways to optimise your Carbon Filter Cartridge, if you run them intermittently at high pressures it lasts longer than if you run it all the time at lower pressures, the carbon has time to "recharge" and the efficiency gets boosted much higher, if you let your carbon cartridge "rest" for a every other day it won't need to be replaced as often. If you run higher water pressures it also becomes more efficient. So basically, you want to pump out as much water as infrequently as you can and it will not need to be replaced very often. But all those elements need to be considered for your specific water usage needs and how often you intend to do water changes in your koi pond.

    Problem. With POE is when you remove all the CL you will get a buildup of slimy bacteria throughout your pipes and water heater.

    I want to find more information about this. I live in Toronto and the chloramine smell and taste in the water is horrible. I just bought a house and I’m looking for ways to get rid of that the chloramine. But if it is removed at the point of entry and that causes slimy buildup that’s no good either. Maybe a device that removes it at the kitchen tap is the way to go.

    @@paulhamrick3943 chloramines are very hard to remove. The bond between Cl and NH3 is very strong. It takes a long contact time with carbon , that’s why carbon shower/ refrigerator filters are worthless. What does work is Vitamin C. You can buy Vit c shower filters off Amazon. For your bathtub just add a teaspoon of Vit C powder. I buy bulk Vit c powder off Amazon . For drinking water I buy distilled water from the water store. It’s a dollar a gallon . Ozone and UV light also remove Chloramines effectively.

    @@paulhamrick3943 yes there are home distillation units. Cost varies and so does size. Google home distillation units. If I do buy bottled water from the store you can get glass or aluminum bottles. It does get expensive. Isn’t there a water store near you where you can buy distilled water by the gallon? I don’t drink water from plastic bottles either. Micro plastics will leach out. Chloramines are the worst. Strong oxidizer. Skin, eye irritation. I would never drink the stuff.

    Rain water isn't chemical free. It collets smog and other gasses as it falls. You still need to filter and clean rain water. Water wells and under ground water (that people traditionally get their water from) are naturally contaminated(not necessarily in a bad way) with fluoride, chlorine, iron, etc. Even river and stream water from a natural source will have these byproducts in it as they come from natural processes.
