    Chloramine MONSTER - San Jose Poll

    Whats the difference between the chorimine monster that I can’t just run a standard carbon block before the rodi. It says contact time, but doesnt a dual stage reactor provide the same benefit?

    Chloramine MONSTER - San Jose Poll

    Is it significant enough to get a $300 carbon filter?? All my RODI icp tests come back zeros across the board. Latest one was last month and membrane is 2 years old.
