Rainfresh CA1 Filter Cartridge, 5 um Filter, Carbon Filter Media

Over 11 million Canadians drink water that has been treated with chloramines . Chloramines are formed when ammonia is added to the water along with chlorine to reduce the formation of potentially cancer-causing trihalomethanes (THMs ). However, chloramines render an offensive taste and odor to drinking water and beverages made from such water. In addition, chloramines can cause skin irritation, are corrosive by nature and are toxic to fish. Chloramines cannot be removed by boiling, distillation or regular activated carbon filters. The Rainfresh CA1 filter cartridge has been specially developed and formulated for reduction of chloramines using special-grade activated carbon and proprietary media.
