An ultra-fine carbon block filter that has undergone high-temperature, high-pressure treatments to increase its catalytic qualities, allowing it to break down chemical impurities faster than non-catalysts. This makes these 0.5-micron carbon filters the only option in our range that can filter chloramines just as effectively as chlorine.

Chloramines are a group of chlorine-ammonia compounds that are used in regions where mains water has to travel long distances between the treatment point and the consumer's home. Chlorine is an effective disinfectant, but it will break down and dissipate over time. By adding ammonia, the chlorine bonds into a stronger compound that retains its disinfectant capabilities but will remain intact and fully functional for much longer.

This is great for protecting people from waterborne diseases and bacterial infections, but it also means that you're more likely to have higher concentrations of disinfectant chemicals coming out of every tap and outlet in your home—and there's nothing most filters can do about it. Fortunately, Cloudtap isn't "most filters". These catalytic cartridges break down stable chloramines that slip through standard activated carbon, giving you all the benefits of thoroughly disinfected water without having to put all those disinfectants into your body.

Regardless of which chemicals are in your water, these filters can catch particles 140x finer than a human hair and significantly improve the taste, smell, and overall quality of your water. We recommend changing carbon filters every 12 months or as soon as you start noticing a chlorine taste/smell in your water.

NOT ALL REGIONS USE CHLORAMINE - CHECK YOUR STATE WATER PROVIDER'S RESOURCES TO SEE IF YOUR SUBURB/POSTCODE USES CHLORINE OR CHLORAMINE
