anybody have experience with highly chlorinated water?

thank you, 9. i think what i'm gonna do is let a big bucket sit for a couple days and see if it still reeks and if it does then i'll know it's chloramine. i don't want RO for all of the reasons you all mentioned.

thank you again, GWE peeps--you all are always so knowledgeable and helpful.

follow up/put a cap on it for informational purposes for lurkers/future searchers:

verified that the hydrologic small boy with the KDF carbon filter removes BOTH chlorine and chloramine. also, it appears that it could be used portably (it's very lightweight and comes with a garden hose attachment) if you wanted to use it as such, which may be good thing depending on your situation.

tldr; if you want to remove only chlorine and chloramine and not much else this is the way to go. in contrast, any RO system removes everything.

something important i found out regarding the brita: both on its website and in the instructions on the filters it says not to filter more than 2 gal/day. helpfully, it doesn't say anything about what happens if you go over that. :speechless: so take that as you will.

hope that helps others.
