Why and What is Chloramine?

• More and more, municipalities have begun to use chloramine (often called monochloramine), which is a combination of ammonia and chloramine, as the primary disinfectant of its' water supply. More than 1 in 5 Americans are exposed to this toxin on a daily basis. Consumers have demanded a product that is efficient at removing chloramine for these reasons:
• 1. Like chlorine, it produces a strong chemical taste and odor to the water.
• 2. Exposure can be through ingestion and inhalation and can cause long-term respiratory issues including lung damage, mucus membrane, skin diseases, along short-term respiratory sensitivity.
• 3. Chloramine can produce even more toxic disinfectant by-products than chlorine, such as; iodoacids.
• 4. Chloramine has proven to be less effective at killing bacteria. Immune compromised individuals without a capable filter would still be recommended to boil their water to ensure sterilization.
• 5. Chloramine is considerably more difficult to remove than chlorine.
