Does NovAqua remove chloramines from the water?
First, an explanation about chloramines. Municipal and other water suppliers need to kill bacteria and viruses in their water supplies. This is especially so in municipal waters systems that are older and have corroded piping systems.These older systems provide many nooks and crannies in which harmful bacteria and viruses congregate. One way to kill these potential pathogens is by adding toxic chemicals to the water that kill bacteria and viruses but are safe for humans to drink. One group of chemicals used is the chloramines, which are made up of chlorine and ammonia. These combine together to provide a compound more toxic than if used separately. Chloramines are lethal to fishes and other aquatic life. Now for the answer to the question: NovAqua breaks the bond between chlorine and ammonia, keeping them separate in the water and thereby much less toxic to fishes and aquatic life than when the chemicals were joined together. NovAqua then removes the chlorine instantly, leaving the amm
