Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Well, Zip, Go back to step one, Read Owner's Manual. Then take a class in organic chemistry, to learn how to use deadly chemicals safely (that means without dying right away, but does not include being half poisoned only). You could get out a periodic table and do the chemical equations, then figure the mole amounts needed, then calculate the conversion factors to get drops or mls or whatever. Then you could go outside where there is alot of fresh air to fool around. And no crying " nofair!!! " if you go blind or can't breathe from the burning in your lungs if you got too close. This topic came up before one time and somebody gave a good long lecture about not doing just what you are asking about. You could do a search for ammonia or chloramine. here's hoping you stay healthy, :-) > > I know it says in the Redneck Owners Manual > p.265, " Don't never mix ammonyee and clorox.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Yes, and I am worried if my Brita water filter with carbon will take this chloromine out of water? I've been buying spring water from a source I trust but occasionally due to expense I consider going back to tap using a Brita but I'm afraid that filter manufacturers only target certain substances and that if they don't 'target' a substance then we are drinking it and who knows what these manufacturers are dumping into water now. --- In , " kl_clayton " <kl_clayton@...> wrote: > > Well, Zip, > > Go back to step one, Read Owner's Manual.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 From my reading so far, I have gleaned that the current generation of carbon filters do NOT take out chloromine. They must be specially rated, and say they take out chloromines. Probably, as more municipalities start adding chloromines, you will see more filters to take them out.
