Hello. I've been researching RO systems for my brew water. I live in SoCal and we have chloramines so I need to filter those out but I'd like to have as few stages as possible.
Most 3 stage systems look like this and come with a standard 10" carbon block filter.
Sediment > Carbon Block > RO Membrane
If I swap out the standard Carbon Block with a Chloraguard or similar, will I be set?
I've seen a lot of 4 stage systems that just have 2 standard carbon blocks or a combination of a standard carbon block and a some type of finer micron carbon block which makes no sense to me since it seems like a Chloraguard can do the job of both of those. If I was to get a 4 stage system I would probably just put 2 Chloraguards in it but that seems like overkill to me.
What are you guys with Chloramines running and why?
Also, HydroLogic has a filter called ChloraShield that claims "100% Chloramine Removal". Is this possible?
Thanks
