    Chlorine is added to the water as the primary disinfectant to prevent illness due to water-borne pathogens. The final barrier is the addition of ammonia to the water to react with chlorine and form chloramines. Cloramines are used to maintain a residual disinfectant throughout the water distribution system to ensure water quality to the consumer’s tap.
    I see they have taken down the link, and I can't find anything remotely resembling that link or that information on their site using the search. I guess the feds didn't like them removing poisons from their water! I wanted to use the link for a quote to another homebrewer.
    Hi, Y'all! I'll be heading back to Montana in a couple of weeks, so I don't know how long it will be before I get on the net again.

    I use ClorAm-X for chlorine and chloramine removal. It's FDA approved for fish intended for human consumption, and it's very cheap per treatment.
