Chlorine or Chloramine in Canadian City Water

Cities across Canada use either chlorine or chloramine to keep drinking water free from bacteria as it is distributed to homes. Knowing which one is in your water can be important for many reasons, including knowing what water filter to choose.

Chlorine can be reduced using standard carbon filtration systems, while chloramine requires catalytic carbon filters for effective reduction.
