Chloramine is used instead of chlorine to protect against microbes so as to reduce the level of disinfection by-products in compliance with EPA rules.  Americans are concerned about the use of chloramine because there are so may unknowns about this disinfectant and the possible Chloramine by-products.  Water disinfected with Chloramine is not suitable for home dialysis machines or fish aquariums.

Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems were tested against the proposed Chloramine standard and the successful completion of that test is reflected in our listing by a footnote.  The development of the ANSI/NSF standard is still in process, and a date for releasing it has not been announced.  In the meantime, consumers can rely on the UL test results noted on Multi-Pure's Standard 42 Listing for assurance that Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems effectively reduce chloramines.
