Free chlorine is the chlorine in your pool that is available for binding with waste products in your pool water. Once bonded, it is called "combined chlorine" or "chloramines", and is what actually causes a chlorine smell. The sum of the two is "total chlorine". Once the chloramines (or total chlorine minus free chlorine, depending on your test kit) goes above 0.5 ppm, you should shock your pool.

Yes this filter will remove chloramines. However, chloramines take longer to remove so you have to be sure to control your water flow. This allows the water more "dwell time" in the filter allowing it to effectively remove the chloramines. For best results you should have a regulator that limits flow to 40psi and a flow rate of 1-2 gallons per minute. If you do this, then the filter is very effective at removing chloramines.

Not sure about chloramine, I got this to remove the minerals in my well water. My water is hard and it's turning my hair orange, and causing damage. This didn't seem to do the trick for me.

KDF85 does everything that KDF55 does and more. In additional to soluble heavy metal and chlorine removal it also removes chloramines, iron, manganese, H2S and some light metals like aluminum.

It worked for me. 1st it will not replace chlorine just reduce dramatically the quantity you use. In my case I reduced about 2/3. Second it will not happen quickly , it took about 2 months for my pool to stabilize at these levels. Hope I helped.

Hi, When I bought, I immediately noticed a big change in the water filtration. So my guess is Yes for their claim of removing not only chlorine but fluorine as well, but the draw back is that the water flow is severely restricted to the point I had to remove the shower head and let the water flow through the pipe which is connected to the filter. I was using a handheld shower head. Now I use a reverse osmosis system of 150 GPD that I bought for 130$ at air water ice website. Call them and they will help you. That will be my suggestion and it removes everything. Buy a pump and a water heater (11-1/2" Max Water Depth Water Heater) and you will be good for 4-6 months with pure water for showering until you buy a new filter set for 10-20$. I had to return my filter because it broke after a while and couldn't filter properly in about a week of use. You can tell from the water pressure. And when I opened the faucet, black carbon water would come out for 2 sec. It's heavy. Considering the price, I will go with reverse osmosis. Hope it helped.

with the chlorine remover liquid just pour it in as you fill the tank. Do not take all the water out of tank .

The jar is glass so it is indeed BPA-free. You need a filter for the chloramine, which distillation does not remove. But the question remains as to if the small filter provided is large/extensive enough to do the job. My understanding is it takes a pretty extensive filter to remove chloramine. Also, people should be warned NOT to run this in an unventilated area as distillation emits some toxic fumes. Best to run it in the garage or somewhere well ventilated.

According to Aqua Chek's website, A: Free chlorine refers to both hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and the hypochlorite (OCl-) ion or bleach, and is commonly added to water systems for disinfection. When ammonia or organic nitrogen is also present, chloramines known as monochloramine, dichloramine, and trichloramine will quickly form. Chloramines are also known as combined chlorine. Total chlorine is the sum of free chlorine and combined chlorine. The level of total chlorine will always be higher than or equal to the level of free chlorine. Free chlorine is typically measured in drinking water disinfection systems using chlorine gas or sodium hypochlorite to find whether the water system contains enough disinfectant. Typical levels of free chlorine in drinking water are 0.2 - 2.0 mg/L Cl2, though levels can be as high as 5.0 mg/L. Total chlorine is typically measured to determine the total chlorine content of treated waste water, often for discharge purposes. If you are required to measure and report chlorine levels to a regulatory agency, we advise that you check with your regulator to find whether you are required to measure free chlorine or total chlorine.

I don't know about ALL of the chlorine being removed, but you can not smell the chlorine anymore. I can also tell the difference in my skin.. It is not as dry as it was before I got the filter.

We don't use chlorine. We leave it up for 2 days then empty it and wash it down with dish soap, rinse it out, then re-fill it.

It actually works a bit better on plastic. Should not affect your chlorinization.

no..no chlorine. It contains hydrochloric acid. I cleaned my toilet bowl with it once about a month ago and the stains haven't come back in the toilet yet. I don't think a person has to use it a lot for cleaning.

I can't say for sure if it eliminates chloramine or not, but I tested the water with a parts per million tester and it comes up between 0-3 parts per million after distillation is completed. Average tap water is 100-400 parts per million. Hope this helps.
