Area around my city and my city itself has switch over to Chloramine. I was suffering for a couple of years from the effect of Chloramine but have modify my Shower filter and Reverse Osmosis water filter to remove Chloramine, since it was design to remove Chlorine before and not Chloramine. The modification has made a much difference. However my dishwasher still has Chloramine in the wash water and the water vapor during the drying cycle emit Chloramine into the living quarters. Now I no longer use the heated drying cycle and it has reduce the Chloramine vapor from the dishwasher drying cycle quite a bit. So if you have Chloramine in your water, do not use the heated drying cycle of your dishwasher. In addition going to the restaurants has expose me to quite a bit of Chloramine as the restaurants are still using filter that was design to remove Chlorine. As a result, it is not removing Chloramine as efficiently and the filter exhaust at 10%-20% of its rated life thus the remaining of the 80% of the rest of the time you are expose to Chloramine in your soft drinks that mixed water with syrup and cookings that use water. There is a benefit to Chloramine as it stay in the water longer, 1 month before dissipating, than Chlorine that will dissipate into the air in 30 minutes-1 hrs. And my sediment filter no longer turn all brown after a few months from all the biofilm that was growing in the water line and is still clean with a few brown spot all over the sediment filter. I just wish someone would have told me about the Chloramine problems so I could have deal with it earlier instead of finding out the problems and solution by dumb luck. As it does not cost me any more to switch from a Chlorine filter to a Chloramine filter, as both Chlorine & Chloramine will harm your health. But instead they tell you the same story as Chlorine, that it will not hurt you in the small amount that is added to the water. What a bunch of baloney.
