Chloramine Water Filters

A chloramine water filter typically uses catalytic activated carbon to reduce chloramine, the disinfectant that many Canadian municipalities now use in place of free chlorine. Chloramine is a combination of chlorine and ammonia that is more stable than chlorine, which means it does not dissipate when water sits or boils and is far more difficult for standard activated carbon to remove. Catalytic carbon is specially processed to break the chloramine bond and is the most effective cartridge-based option for reducing chloramine along with the taste and odour it causes. This collection of chloramine water filters features Pentair Pentek cartridges in two types: ChlorPlus carbon block filters (ChlorPlus 10, 20, 10BB and 20BB) that provide chloramine reduction with finer filtration for drinking water and smaller whole house applications, and CRFC radial flow catalytic carbon filters (CRFC-BB and CRFC20-BB) that deliver higher flow rates for whole house chloramine filtration.

To choose the right chloramine filter cartridge, first confirm that your municipality actually uses chloramine, since a regular carbon filter will work well if your water is treated with chlorine alone. Then match the cartridge to your filter housing size and how it will be used: ChlorPlus carbon block is best for drinking water at a single tap or lower flow applications, while CRFC radial flow cartridges are the better choice for whole house flow rates. Chloramine cartridges typically last 6 to 12 months depending on chloramine levels and water use, and a sediment pre-filter will help extend their life.
