Is Chloramine called something else or have another name.
This is a link to a pdf that has parameters to my water supply.
Can anyone tell me what levels of chlorine and chloramine I have?

I can't find chlorine or chloramine anywhere on this list which I know is impossible because I can smell it in my tap.

On the left hand column, near the top, it lists the chlorine residual "average" as 0.9 ppm.

Oh crap, I scanned up and down this list 20 times and straight missed it.
So according to this chart I do not have "chloramine" in my tap?

LOL, no worries. Yes, it just looks like just chlorine to me. You could always call just to make sure that they only use chlorine year round.

So.... after googling and amazoning this is what I came up with, not that there is a question but just in case.

Is this the product I/We need..?

Hey John, I think that should be fine, but if you want a second opinion on sodium thiosulfate duanes is the person to ask.

I've used Sodium Thio crystals for many years, always worked great for me. It only effects the chlorine part of the chloramine compound, not the ammonia, and I was always confident that my bio-media was up to the task, and never had an ammonia spike.
It needs to be thoroughly mixed.
