Chloramine Removal from Water
Anyone know how to do it? Without a filtration system that is?
I’ve found out vitamin C is supposed to break it down, but I don’t know at what application rate per gallon of water. I guess that would be contingent upon how much chloramine was put in the water, but I’m sure I can find that information for my city.
I know chlorine can be removed by aeration or time, or using your arm for a bit stirring, but that pesky chloramine...
I know, I know... I just need to buy the water filter.

Alright- more research in. Guy at the home brew store says campden tablets, made of potassium or sodium metabisulfite, will clear chlorine and chloramine from water.
Tablets are for convenience, but powder is cheaper! .44g powder/10gal h2o to clean it up.
1lb bag @ ~$10 is about 10,318 gallons purified. Not too shabby.
Vitamin C online @ ~$20/kg is about 20,000 gallons purified. Both do the job for about the same cost.
If you are in a situation you have to use tap water with chloramine, hopefully this helps!
