I just got an email from one of our aquarium service clients, whereby someone had forwarded them an alert that their town was about to start adding monochloramines to the tap water. They were concerned, and wanted to make sure that the RO/DI system (reverse osmosis/deionization) we had installed in their restaurant would protect their 1,000-gallon saltwater reef tank from these nasty monochloramines.

This phenomenon is more and more common these days, where municipalities are adding chloramines to the drinking water. So here is an excellent article that helps you understand exactly just what monochloramines are, why they are bad, and what kind of filtration will remove them. It goes into deep detail on all accounts, so sink your teeth in and enjoy.

Here’s the link to the article:
