Can anyone tell me how much chlorine is actually removed?

Try googling consumer reports with Culligan FM-15A. I don't save copies but it received the highest rating for a non-powered filter.

I do not have a precise measurement. However, I have county water which has a good deal of chlorine smell and taste in it. In my experience, the filter removed all noticeable taste and smell. Water was clear and tasted fine, good for making coffee or cooking.

I really don't know in numbers how much chlorine is removed, but the chlorine odor is no longer even noticeable to me with this filter. I personally wouldn't be without the culligan filter. Thank you, I hope this helps

97.4 % on average according to the PDF here. http://www.culligan-store.com/pdfs/FM-15A%2001023023%20Manual%20Rev%20A%205%2011%20.pdf

Actually, I don't know exactly how much chlorine the Culligan FM-15RA Level 3 removes.The filter removes enough chlorine, that I do not taste any chlorine; even after three months.Remember: Less then $10 per month, great tasting water, and a very small environmentalfootprint.

It depends upon the flow rate of the pump. This device requires a flow rate of 1,500-4,000 gph to work right. If the filter pump you use on your pool is in that range it will work. Then you may need to leave it on longer to get the required amount of Chlorine. To be certain you should check the manufacture specs of the Intex to be sure it will adequately chlorinate that much water.

No mention of of Chlorine removal on the packaging. This filter is for reducing sediment.

Effective shelf life of chlorine dioxide is about 4 years from manufacture date in the liquid form. After mixing the 2 parts and waiting the prescribed 20 minutes, the solution should have a yellowish tint, telling you that the oxygen has been released and ready for mixing with your untreated water. At only $15 to treat 30 gallons of water, it would be cheap insurance to replace it when in doubt of when you bought it.

They report 68% Calcium Hypochlorite, 32% other ingredients and minimum available chlorine 65%. Also to supplement my earlier review, I just cleaned my DE filter and found it to be harder than previous times, like the calcium dust stuck to it at made stuff adhere more to the filter wings.

In my experience with water that had a moderate level of chlorine, it had removed it well. I've never had any taste make it through the filter other than crisp water.

I believe it says that to give the conditioner a chance to get rid of the chlorine before introducing the bacteria colonies in safe start. Otherwise the chlorine would render it useless. 20 hours should be plenty of time I would imagine.

You do not use chlorine, just the RENU2 and the bromine. It will help keep the chemicals at a normal level, providing you test the water and watch how much you add.

absolutely not! It is fabulous. It actually balances with your chlorine to get rid of other mineral buildups, cuts the chlorine use in almost half. We use 1 of their tablets to every 3 chlorine in our pool and never have any problems anymore. We used to get areas of green algae around the filter and drain before . I highly recommend it.

I would assume so. It was effected/lightened by sweat when my daughter went to basketball practice, so I would assume that chlorine would take it off or at least make it lighter.

Search for the "chlorine then bleach" spa method. Chemical maintenance is less than $20/year. Get a real test kit -- not a pool one, but one that measures Ph, Free Chlorine, CHA, etc. It is expensive but the reagents are cheap and no one should skimp on their health.

It really does nothing for removing chlorine. I let it float in my small bathtub for 40 minutes - the water still had strong chlorine smell. Look elsewhere.

The best I can tell it just removes the chlorine from the water I really dont think its a filter. But check with the manufacturer ..

No. Chlorine can only be removed by distillation, a charcoal filter, or reverse osmosis. Charcoal can only remove so much, then it must be changed. John

There is really no correct answer. I test it every day because of the sun, rain etc. I have a floater and I usually put 3 to 4 pellets each week and I don't open the chlorine floater because it has two little holes on the bottom that let's out plenty of chlorine.
