Hey! Since you’re putting some details out about chloramines could you add some commentary or answer a question for me?

I’ve attached my city’s water report. For the highlighted item; I don’t understand the verbiage used.

Would there be the kind of chloramines that cause issues or are these just regular chlorine?

 

[Malcontent]

Chloramine is required to be reported as chlorine equivalent by the EPA. There also isn't really a chloramine test--just free and total chlorine (which detects most forms of combined chlorine including the ones used in drinking water disinfection).

Some water reports don't make that distinction and just report the chlorine equivalent value which can leave you guessing as to whether you have chlorine or chloramine.

So, you have chloramine and a fairly high level at 3.1 mg/L out of a max of 4.0.

I appreciate you providing the details.

As some have called out approaching their RO/DI differently for chloramine vs chlorine; what’s your take on that debate?
