Chloramine in city water might sound like a minor inconvenience, but its impact on your home is anything but. You might notice a persistent chemical taste, dry skin after showers, or even dull, lifeless laundry—all signs of chloramine lingering in your water supply. Beyond discomfort, this compound can degrade plumbing fixtures and shorten the lifespan of your water-using appliances, quietly driving up your maintenance costs.

The system that fixes it

The Pentair Chloramine (City Water) System is engineered specifically to tackle the unique challenges chloramine presents. At its core is the Pentair-series backwashing control valve—an expertly crafted, serviceable valve that keeps your system running efficiently by automatically regulating the cleaning cycles of the filtration media. This genuine brand valve ensures longevity and ease of maintenance, a critical advantage over generic alternatives that often fail prematurely or require costly replacements.

Built on a robust backwashing carbon tank, this system uses Centaur catalytic activated carbon media, specially designed to break the chlorine-ammonia chemical bond and adsorb both components effectively.

How the media works

The secret behind this system’s effectiveness lies in its Centaur catalytic activated carbon media. Unlike standard carbon, this specialized media is engineered to tackle chloramine’s double threat—the chlorine and ammonia bonded together. Centaur catalytic carbon first breaks the chemical bond linking chlorine and ammonia, then adsorbs both substances separately. This two-step action ensures a thorough removal process, leaving your water free from the irritating and corrosive effects of chloramine. It’s a targeted, scientifically supported approach that outperforms ordinary filtration methods struggling with city water’s unique treatment chemicals.
