Q » Why are chloramines used instead of free chlorine in some systems?
03 Nov, 2025
A » Chloramines are used in water systems as a disinfectant because they provide longer-lasting residual protection compared to free chlorine. They are more stable and less likely to dissipate quickly, ensuring effective disinfection throughout the distribution system. Additionally, chloramines produce fewer disinfection by-products and less odor, making the water safer and more palatable for consumption while still effectively controlling microbial growth.
