CHLORAMINE REMOVAL. Read this compelling summary about the problems with chloramine but disregard the sticker shock quote about prices, which is wrong. You will need activated carbon at source and reverse osmosis at cooking taps. http://www.chloramine.org/chloraminefacts.htm View in LinkedIn

"CHARCOAL FILTERS have an annual estimated cost of US$10 to 100 for a family that uses 25 liters of water per day. Countries with local access to charcoal, or materials ... will face significantly lower costs that those that have to import the charcoal filters. Activated carbon filtration systems have an estimated average annual cost of over US$100 for a family that uses 25 liters a day." http://lnkd.in/dna7M4i View in LinkedIn

US POU ADVISORY. "No single treatment process can remove all substances in water. Select a treatment unit designed to handle the substance of concern. If there are several substances you want removed from your water, you may need to combine several treatment processes into one system." http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/factsheet/com/pou.html View in LinkedIn

BEWARE QUICK FIXES. "There is NO certified showerhead filter to remove chloramine. The high flow rate and large volume of water passing through a showerhead renders the showerhead filter useless." http://www.chloramine.org/chloraminefacts.htm View in LinkedIn

CHLORAMINE REMOVAL. "To remove chloramine, an extensive carbon filter (to remove the chlorine part of the chloramine molecule) followed by a reverse osmosis or cation filter (to remove the ammonia) is necessary." http://www.chloramine.org/chloraminefacts.htm View in LinkedIn

UV POU SYSTEMS. "A concern with UV portable water purification is that some pathogens are hundreds of times less sensitive to UV light than others. Protozoan cysts were once believed to be among the least sensitive, however recent studies have proved otherwise, demonstrating that both Cryptosporidium and Giardia are deactivated by a UV dose of just 6 mJ/cm sq." http://lnkd.in/dTFBJ6P View in LinkedIn

"CCAC recommends that chloramine be removed from the water supply. The SFPUC should discontinue the use of chloramine as a water disinfectant until the appropriate scientific studies are done to test the safety of chloramine as a water treatment option." http://www.chloramine.org/chloraminefacts.htm View in LinkedIn

ACTIVATED CARBON TREATMENT AT MUNICIPALITIES is not rocket science. What is the problem about implementing this simple system and stopping carcinogens in our drinking water? The reality is that we need at least two systems to cover the bases. This is not difficult. It is outrageous that this is not routinely done. http://lnkd.in/da9fJjH View in LinkedIn
