does it remove chloramine?

The representative from hydronix stated that the carbon filter would reduce chloramine levels . (which is good, because they are about to "upgrade" our water to chloramine). I believe that chloramine is more difficult to remove than some other compounds; so, I doubt it will be perfect.. im not sure what a better alternative would be, though.

It works well on chlorine and chlorine-derived products. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) found very high levels of carcinogenic chloramine by-products in Washington DC tap water and recommended filtration through carbon. Chlorine and chloramines are often used to disinfect water at municipal treatment plants and can pose health risks if not effectively removed before reaching the consumer.More info on the effectiveness of different filters here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RIWWJR12SNLQW/

I don't know about ALL of the chlorine being removed, but you can not smell the chlorine anymore. I can also tell the difference in my skin.. It is not as dry as it was before I got the filter.

Yes. We switched water filters specifically because I noticed a strong chlorine taste in our water that our Brita did little to nothing to remove. It was so bad I could no longer drink it. I used the chlorine tests I used for our pool and got pretty high Cl readings. After using the Clear2o the chlorine readings went to zero. Also no chlorine taste. There are a few things that are not perfect about the product but it does a great job of clearing out chlorine.

yes it reduces chlorine taste but not enough for our taste we stopped using it shortly after buying it and now use a different filter.

Yes, it comes with a filter but it does not work. No reduction in chlorine.

Really!? You filter it before it goes in or add the chemical to the tank, this has nothing to do with removing chlorine! :-/

It is designed to remove additional contaminants like chloramines, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, copper, mercury, and lead. Many municipal water supplies have switched from using chlorine as their primary disinfectant to chloramines which are harder to remove. Regular coconut shell or bituminous carbon isn't going to treat chlormaines effectively, so this product uses catalytic carbon and KDF85 which is effective.

Try contacting the company through their website: www.waterwise.com. If chloramine is the new chlorine, then I would think they would like to make sure their filter works for that too.

Yes - It does not contain enough Vitamin C acid to damage hair - it just removes the bonded chloramines from skin and hair - use your regular shampoo after rinsing off with water and Swim Spray.

dont believe it removes fluoride but for the chloramine which is associated with chlorine it removes up to 91%

Yes, I have relaxed hair and it removes the chlorine. I also use the ultraswim conditioner. After rinsing, I apply a leave-in conditioner and style as usual.

Yea it does, the built in filter removes a lot of sediment and chlorine smell and taste.

It has a filter/spring that filters out large particles - not chlorine. It would be ideal to buy a carbon filter and connect to your hose bib. I have been using this with vermin tea for over two years and no fertilizers and my yard is the greenest on the street.

It will remove 99.9% of all chlorine, chemicals and heavy metals. Yes, it will.

Who knows? The manufacturer has failed to produce any sort of data about the filter despite years of making claims to produce it. I found vitamin c filters to be very effective at removing chlorine and chloramine and they are far less expensive. Sure there are claims that this filter removes other substances besides chlorine as well, but that is just a baseless claim.
