What is Chloramine?

Chloramine is a common addition to water by water districts to help treat the water. Is often used as a secondary disinfectant to help prevent the growth of bacteria in the water supply. Chloramine as a lower tendency than free chlorine to convert materials into chlorocarbon compounds such as chloroform and carbon tetrachloride – which are both known carcinogens.

What problems does Chloramine cause?

High chlorine or chloramine levels in the water, while beneficial for killing bacteria, can cause other problems. High levels of chlorine and chloramines have been known to reduce the lifespan of water softening resins, reduce the life of carbon (commonly used in water filters), it can cause oxidation of RO membranes and can cause death in aquarium environments.

Chloramines are also a cause of pinhole leaks in copper pipes. These small leaks can lead to mold growth inside the walls of a house. Chloramine also has the potential to leach lead from old pipes and it can cause rubber (like certain toilet parts) to corrode.
