Tell me more ...
There are some water treatment companies that say their Catalytic Carbon is
effective in chloramine removal. It is used in kidney dialysis treatment
where monochloramine (the common chloramine found in drinking water) affect
the patients. It is also use in brewing beer because chloramine interferes
with the fermentation process?
Perhaps they just mean it breaks the chlorine/ammonia bond and they
consider ammonia is not a problem for the above applications?
I have seen references to an article in "Water Conditioning & Purification"
magazine called "Catalytic Carbon, a new weapon in the Chloramine Battle"
published in August 1997.
I have never used it myself, as its cheaper and easier just to use one of
the aquarium products such as Chlormon, Prime etc., but it is an
interesting subject.
