I know for a fact that Carbon Filters can get overwhelmed with Chlorine and Dump it back in the water. We used Carbon Filters on Flake Ice Machines. If the customer, didn’t stick to the change out schedule, they would get a Chlorine Dump. I believe that IO has chemicals to neutralize Chlorine. Doesn’t this reaction produce Ammonia temporarily in this process?
If chloramine is used in the water supply, then yes, there can be substantial ammonia in RI/di effluent when the di becomes depleted.
