How to Remove Chloramines From Your Water

- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- 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.

Good marketing but most importantly highly valuable knowledge about chlorine and chloramine ...thx for the education :) love it.
Thanks, very informative!
Very comprehensive presentation.
Excellent. Thanks
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
how do you know when the large carbon unit is no longer working? say 1 or 2 years down the road?
Cool! A silver-impregnated activated carbon water softener is also a good solution!
07:31 what's drain hook-up?! Rejected water outlet?
I want to put FILTERS in my RV, are these going to fit?
what is the filtration medium added to carbon filters that removes heavy metals such as lead? is it Zeolite?
How do we find out if our city water has chloramines in it?
Why do your RO system have less stages?
I have a koi pond and chloramines have been an issue. How long will that large tank of carbon last?
Same question
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.
Why cant it be 1 video not thousands that avoid main question.
Which shower filter to buy for chloramine....????vitamin c sonaki?
There isn't one out there. For now....
Rainwater + sandbio filters are much cheaper. But i appreciate this method tho. Aren't carbon toxic tho?
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.
@@teeduck my insane wife refuses to drink water that has been bottled in plastic because she read that BPAs are a problem. So I’m looking for a solution that removes chloramine from drinking water but that doesn’t require purchasing bottled water. Are there home distilling devices that can be used?
@@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.
@@teeduck We have a Berkey but I don't know if the filters remove chloramine. And I've heard that Berkey's are a scam but I don't know if that is true.
The process of addzorbtion...
This is so dumb. Why don't they just send rainwater down the pipes and let us filter it ourselves? Removing this chemical agent seems like a pain in the ass tbh. I rather collect rainwater for my aquarium and plants
You can collect rainwater and store it in barrels.
@@succulentqueen7737 that’s illegal without permits in a lot of areas.
@@Jcremo fuck the law
Makes even more sense to collect rainwater yourself, right where you are, and filter on-site. Is H2O a chemical compound?
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.
Just add some Vitamin C to the water. It clears all the chloramine.
Saved me having to watch the video. Thanks.
??? Really
Wrong
Even if it did, synthetic vitamin c is acid forming and not healthy to consume.
lol, imagine trusting the government with our water.
🥴
I know right lol
Isn’t it “Chloramine”? Not Cholramines? It shouldn’t be plural, Iike chlorine.
And how is the catalytic carbon block made? How does it remove the chloramines? You didn't answer either question. What a waste of my time. THUMBS DOWN!!!
