Chlorine or chloromines

gatorlover · 09/29/2011, 07:51 PM

Does anyone know if Jacksonville, Florida(jea) uses chloromines to treat the water? I'm about to pull the trigger on a ro/di system from bulk reef supply and want to be sure I get the right filters.

Most cities' web sites will have posted the test of the water. Or, you can request one online, or in person. I would get the chloramine anyway, in case they change it in the future. Here is my 300 gpd setup -

Call them. Surprisingly, there are still live people that answer these kinds of questions at all the local municipalities. I got a call back within 15 minutes when I called mine.

Nice setup you have there wildman. Looks like you have some money invested there.

Billwill- I hear ya on that one. I went on their site and looked for info with no real luck. I'll try to call them today and see if a human really does answer.

Thank you. It was half the cost of 300 gpd units if you build it yourself.

Definitely call them. Hopefully, they will know what you are talking about.

The city website will say if they are using chloromines. You can call too.

Regardless, I would use chloromine product just in case they use it in the future, which is a high probability in big cities.

I use that version too, cause california uses chloromines.

if you have a non BRS chloromine system just replace the one carbon block with the Pentek Chlorplus 10 carbon block.
Even without that a RO/DI system will remove the chloromines. There are articles out on the web to back this up.
