Is this a typical level for anyone else?
My tap water has a CC level of about 1ppm. It's city water. Is this a typical level for anyone else? It's funny now that I have a spa and play with all these chemicals, how I can smell CC when drinking tap water. Before it taste fine but know it makes me wonder what I've been drinking all those years.CHAD
QuoteIs this a typical level for anyone else? Out of curiosity, is your city water using chloramines for their water disinfection - if you don't know, can you find out or give me the name of your PWS (Public Water Supplier)? If so, what method are you using for both free and total chlorine (I assume you are calculating the difference and calling that combined chlorine?)?Vermonter

Municipal water plants monitor chlorine levels very closely throughout the entire distribution system, we take samples daily to monitor when certain areas need to be flushed. Some plants feed ammonia and have to also watch nitrate levels as well as chlorine. The are numerous instruments in the treatment plant and at booster plants and other valve chambers and out buildings. I can't speak for other provinces or states but Ontario has some of the toughest drinking water standards in North America. Beleieve me, the water coming from your tap is safer then anything you would get from a bottle.P.S. if you want to remove the chlorine taste the carbon filter in a Brita filter works well
Tileman,My tap in St Peters is:Ph:8.0Alk- 80ppmFC- 0CC- 0For what it is worth, I do run a Culligan system throughout, so that could impact it somewhat....Jr
