• Chloramine is a combination of chlorine and ammonia used to disinfect water supplies (like the Hetch Hetchy system.) Water utilities often refer to chloramine as monochloramine.
• Catalytic Carbon is the ONLY carbon that can break up & remove Chloramines
• Chloramine is difficult to remove.
• Chloramine cannot be removed by boiling, distilling, or by standing uncovered.
• ​Chloramine is a less effective disinfectant than chlorine. TheWorld Health Organization (WHO) says that “monochloramine is about 2,000 and 100,000 times less effective than free chlorine for the inactivation of E. Coli and rotaviruses, respectively.”Chloramine does not dissipate easily compared to chlorine.
• Chloramine stays in the water distribution system longer than chlorine.
• Some disinfection byproducts of chloramine are even more toxic than those of chlorine, i.e. iodoacids.
• Significant corrosion issues costing homeowner expensive repair costs.
