Frankie from Sydney recently asked us about chlorine and chloramines.
Chloramines are another way of introducing chlorine to a water supply. By combining chlorine and ammonia costs are slashed when compared to straight chlorine disinfection and it is promited as having no nasty effects like chlorine. Now I read a report that the high acidity of chlorine is leaching ever-greater amounts of lead and copper from water pipes, dumping this toxic load into the first glass of water you drink in the morning.
Here's the report.
We have prefilters for chlorine, plus prefilters that remove or neutralise heavy metals like copper and lead.
