Re: Chloramine remover

Chloramine takes quite a bit longer to evaporate out of solution. 
That is why we need to treat our water with sodium thiosulphate. 
chlorine evaporates readily out of the water in about a day or so, but
it takes over a week to let the chloramine to evaporate, if it does at
all.  It is because of the chlorine-ammonia bond that chloramine doesn't
evaporate.
