Contaminate Drinking Water

• The water you drink, the water you use to clean
  your body and the water you use to wash your
  dishes all are contaminated with pollutants.

  every day globally due to consumption of
  contaminated drinking water. Furthermore, as per
  the stats, on an average 250 million people
  worldwide succumb to ailments caused by water
  pollution.
• Keeping statistics and the ongoing situation in
  mind, public water supply companies understand
  how toxic and harmful the raw and untreated water
  can be. And that is why these companies use two
  agents to disinfect the water, namely chlorine
  and chloramine.

Lets take a detailed look at it and understand
what chloramine is?

• Chloramines are commonly form when ammonia is
  added to chlorine to treat drinking water and
  provide long-lasting disinfection.
• Municipalities add a mixture of chlorine and
  ammonia to the water supply to form chloramine
  which quickly dissolves in water and kills
  bacteria in it.

Why is there a necessity to remove chloramine if
it is a disinfecting agent?

• According to experts, chloramine levels of up to
  4milligrams per litre in your water are safe for
  drinking. However, exceeding the level will pose
  a significant risk to your health.
• Moreover, water treated with those agents
  (Chlorine and Chloramine) have an unpleasant
  smell and taste. Apart form this, the taste and
  the smell are well-enough to make you feel sick.

Carbon filter that is designed for chloramine
removal

• Therefore, to avoid risking your health, it is
  recommended to install a quality carbon filter
  that is designed for chloramine removal.
• The filter uses reverse osmosis or cation
  filtration to remove chlorine that is present in
  the form of chloramine molecule. Using a carbon
  filter can eliminate the chances of having
  ammonia particles as well.

Health-Related Risks with Chloramine

• Mentioned below are some health-related risks
  associated with chloramine that will help you
  understand the need to have an appropriate

  flaking, cracking scarring, bleeding
  pigmentation, psoriasis to name a few.
• Kidney and blood related problems
