If you want to handle cholorimes this is what you must buy.

I've got this installed and its been running for 3 years and has over 500,000 gallons through it by now and still going strong. I test for free cholorine and its still 0 or near it.

Looks like a great unit , found a similar unit here I'm considering this unit , down the road possibly . I've been studying water lately as a hobby , realizing l I don't want water in my house untreated .

I'm sure you've seen the prefilter and how much iron deposits (brown sludge) builds up. The government thinks its fine you drink this stuff because its in such small quantity. In fact when they work on water mains they don't bother cleaning up. They just work on it and let it distribute. Look at flint, mi ! I think I found all kinds of stuff coming from the water mains into my house and I am in San Francisco, the cleanest local tap water source in the country. I would not drink water unfiltered. At the very minimum you should atleast do mechanical filtration. That is cheap to do.

For canadians..

If I were you just order it and have it shipped to Seattle with a friend or something.. Then drive down and pick it up. Its more then double the price in canada!
 
Oddly enough, RO membranes are very resistant to damage from chloramines. Filmtec stopped their test at 300,000 ppm*hours.

The problem is that chloramines are almost always accompanied by some free chlorine - it is the free chlorine that does the damage.

I didn't realize ro would be such a big choice !
What are your thoughts about carbon removing chloramines ?say a 20 inch carbon filter with 1/4 inch fittings

Thanks for the invite ! I appreciate it , however I am in Canada and usually try to buy Canadian as our dollar is terrible , exchange duty and shipping is a killer .

Thanks for responding
 
You'd typically go with larger filters like a 20" x 2.5" to accommodate higher flows. We find the best value for residential-scale RO systems (nearly all of those used in this hobby) is our Chloraguard followed by our 0.5 micron Chlorine Grabber - both 10" x 2.5"
