This page describes the chloramine water filters and the chloramine and fluoride water filter offered by friendsofwater.com  There are many pages within our site with additional information on the need for water filters and why we have selected the filters that we offer.  

We have two interlinked sites, the main
www.friendsofwater.com (which you are in now) and the store at www.shop.friendsofwater.com.  There are many links to move you around in and between the sites.

                                                          Chloramine & Fluoride

In recent times some areas have begun to add ammonia to the municipal water supply.  They are doing this for two reasons.  The first is in recognition of some scientific study results that suggest chlorine is carcinogenic.  The other is that adding ammonia changes the chemistry of chlorine so that it continues to serve as a disinfectant, but in its new form lasts much longer.  The form it takes on is chloramines.  By definition, it is harder to remove.

Research published in 2007 by Dr. Michael Plewa indicated that the disinfection byproducts (DBPs) created from the use of chloramine are much more toxic than the DBPs of chlorine. These new nitrogen-containing DBPs are currently not regulated by the EPA. 


        To see the most informative site we've found on the risks of chloramine, see:  www.chloramine.org/

Fluoride is also very hard to remove. It is normally part of a metallic compound in our water, and the attraction of a metallic substance can remove it. Every metal has a charge, either positive or negative, and each can be either strong or weak.


The right combination of magnetics happens with activated alumina.  Activated alumina is not aluminum.  Aluminum is made by processing activated alumina, including adding fluoride.  Aluminium oxide is the same chemical substance as sapphire and rubies, but without the impurities that give the gems their color. Activated alumina has a very high surface-area-to-weight ratio, with a lot of tunnel-like pores that run all through it. This means that there is a lot of surface area against which the water interacts, thereby breaking down the chemical makeup and removing fluoride.

Activated Alumina.
      

                           Every one of these drinking water filters removes more than 600 contaminants including chlorine, organic-based contaminants like hormones, chemical-based drugs, arsenic, lead, heavy metals, chlorination by-products like trihalomethanes, and pesticides in much the same way that Mother Earth uses the minerals in the rocks and ground to clean water as it runs through to the aquifers.  Those listed on this page also remove fluoride.

                    3 Canister Undercounter Chloramine & Fluoride Water Filter

This undercounter water filter has the same 2 canisters and cartridges as the 2-canister fluoride water filter above, plus it has an additional canister dedicated to remove chloramine.  Some municipalities are adding ammonia to make the chlorine last longer.  This creates chloramines, which are by definition hard to remove.  Check your water supplier to see if you have chloramine in your water.  If so, this is the filter we recommend.

This filter removes fluoride, chlorine, chlorination by-products, chloramines, heavy metals, lead and arsenic and several hundred other contaminants.  The kdf removes chemical contaminants and the carbon removes organic contaminants.  The idea is to have the right kind of filtration in sufficient amounts to address whatever pollutants you might find in your water supply, including hormones and pharmaceuticals.  These filters have more filter material than others we are aware of.
