I have not performed any analysis on the water, but it is described in the website of the municipal water treatment plant that a small amount of chloramine is added.

Hi I want to remove chloramines from tap water and I read it's possible to do by adding ascorbic acid in the water. Here is the source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloramination#Removing_monochloramine_from_water So I was wondering what substances are the chloramines being changed into (the...

Pure of anything unhealthy. So >99,9% is what I want. I have read a little about it, will look more into it. Yes, it's only for drinking. And my reason: there are claims that our drinking water contains chloramines, traces of chemicals, medicines etc, which are bad for health when drinking...

What do you think of purifying water by using a vortex / law of gravity? Here is what I am thinking: 1. Build a funnel-like jar, clog it on the bottom and fill the jar with water. Now wait for several hours. 2. Unclog the bottom, wait for a few seconds (depending on the size of the jar) and...

Thank you for all answers. As I am new to this, would you like to recommend me a book that describes how to perform distillation?

Hi I am a new member and I am interested in the chemistry of water. My knowledge of chemistry is from elementary school :smile: Hoping to find some answers.

My only research is through google. Some people say if you boil water that contains chloramines, the vapour will be pure water and the chloramines will be left in the boiling jar. But some other sources claims the opposite. I don't know who I should believe but I hope to find some better answers...

Hi I want to to make 100% (or close to it) pure water and I guess distillation is the way. I know there are VOCs that can vaporize at different temperatures. And then we have the chloramines in our tap water. When water gets vaporized does the chloramines vaporize too? Can anyone provide some...
