Actual measurements showed it did not work with my water
Did not work with my water. Per the instructions and a call to Berkley, free chlorine reduction may be impacted if chloramines are present in your water. My municipality (Sarasota FL) uses chloramines and the filter did not reduce the chlorine at all. Before filtering on 8/31/15 my water measured 2.0 ppm of free chlorine and 5.5 ppm of chloramines. After going thru the KDSF shower filter the free chlorine was 2.0 ppm and the chloramines were 3.5 ppm. Measurements taken using a Taylor K2006 FAS-DPD water test kit. I recommend that you check your water suppliers website to see what levels of chloramines are present before you order. More water suppliers are using chloramines due to cost savings and EPA regulations. Chloramine is a combination of chlorine and ammonia. It is more stable than chlorine so it stays in the water longer. By products of chlorine and chloramine sanitation can be toxic and carcinogenic.
