I bought a Rainshowr' CQ-1000 filter not long ago. NSF certified to remove free chlorine. Though many shower filters claim they remove more, check the NSF site yourself and the only certified claim is for free chlorine reduction.

So that's fine...chlorine isn't good. But wait, I don't seem to notice much difference in my skin and hair. I get my water quality report. I talk to the president (George Ricci) of Rainshowr'. I come to find the 2.4ppm of chlrorine in my water is actually 99% chloramine and about 1% free chlorine.

So that explains it. The filter can't remove chloramine he says. No filter is certified to. So it can only remove the roughly .05ppm of free chlorine in my water.

He says that many municipalities are using chloramine instead of free chlorine these days.

So I have to ask, if shower filters are only NSF certified to remove free chlorine, and though many probably aren't aware that they probably have hardly any free chlorine in their water anymore, aren't shower filters (NSF certified at least) becoming pretty well useless?
