 and flow rates, but will eventually become exhausted and will need to be replaced. It is a relatively expensive alternative to activated carbon, costing roughly twice as much.
Hollow-core carbons (HCCs), like those used in Kinetico Chloraban®, represent the next generation of carbon filtration media. HCCs have up to 10 times the active filtration sites on each carbon particle, providing a dramatic increase in filtration capacity and media bed life. Initial estimates, based on laboratory testing of a whole-home filter, suggest that HCCs may effectively remove chloramine for up to four years depending on the variables. HCCs are more expensive than catalytic carbons, but the higher filtration capacity and substantially longer bed life must be considered when evaluating media options for chloramine filtration.
How Kinetico can help
Chloramine Reduction System
If your home uses a dechlorination system, it will not reduce chloramines effectively. Kinetico’s Chloramine Reduction System (CRS) uses our exclusive media, Chloraban®, which reduces the level of both chloramine and chlorine in your water. Kinetico CRS systems are the only residential systems certified by the Water Quality Association for whole-house reduction of chloramine.
K5 Drinking Water Station
Kinetico also offers a Chloramine Guard FlexFilter for our K5 Drinking Water Station. With the Chloramine Guard auxiliary filter, your drinking water system will have a filter that is also third-party certified for the reduction of chloramine.
Contact your local Kinetico dealer to have your water tested. After they have tested your water, they will be able to design a water treatment plan to reduce the levels of chloramine and other contaminants that may be in your water.
