BIOFILTRATION HELPS. "Although pre-ozonation may increase the formation of trihaloacetaldehydes or selected HNMs during post-chlorination or chloramination, biofiltration may reduce the formation potential of these by-products." http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/367/1904/4077.full View in LinkedIn

NO STANDARD METHODS exist for water purification, and essentially each plant uses its own cookbook and set of analytics. Because of this, apples-to-apples comparisons is relatively impossible. Analytics, which demand sophisticated labs, are very inadequate, given the hundreds of chemicals of concern, and limited budgets. http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/367/1904/4077.full View in LinkedIn

NO PERFECT ALTERNATIVES. "Alternative primary or secondary disinfectants to chlorine (e.g. chloramines, chlorine dioxide, ozone, ultraviolet) that minimize the formation of some of the regulated DBPs may increase the formation of some of the emerging by-products." Not the last word. http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/367/1904/4077.full View in LinkedIn

COSTS OF WHOLE HOME CHLORINE FILTERS. "The GREEN-CARBON-10 water filter effectively adsorbs chlorine, chloramines, odors & VOCs to deliver chemical-free water to every faucet in your home ... coconut activated carbon media ... Perfect for average homes ... Easy to install, trouble-free, low water consumption system. Filtration media lasts for 5-6 years." ($719). http://lnkd.in/dy7W-F3 View in LinkedIn

CHLORAMINE REMOVAL FROM WATER. A comprehensive summary of options. http://lnkd.in/dwWR_N3 View in LinkedIn

"CHLORAMINE is being increasingly used by water municipalities because it is more persistent than chlorine. It is desirable to remove this also from household water. " http://lnkd.in/dwWR_N3 View in LinkedIn

CHLORINE REMOVAL FROM WATER. "Install a carbon filter dechlorination system to filter your home's entire water system. These tank systems come in a variety of tank sizes, but they may be the most expensive dechlorination option. This method provides total dechlorination of the home water supply. The filters require some care," http://lnkd.in/dXUArcR View in LinkedIn

"THERE ARE NO SHOWER FILTERS on the market that completely remove chloramine. There are, however, whole house water filters that remove chlorine, chloramine, and other contaminants." RO filters and activated charcoal filters for whole house use are a good start. http://lnkd.in/dfCzHFh View in LinkedIn

BATHWATER NEUTRALIZATION. "Both chlorine and chloramine can be removed for bathing purposes by dissolving Vitamin C in the bath water. One 1000 mg Vitamin C tablet will neutralize chloramine in an average bathtub." Perfect for single use applications. http://lnkd.in/dfCzHFh View in LinkedIn
