It never ends

I have seen many so-called professionals make such statements,
although he maybe just misspoke and got ahead of himself.
Chloramines are added to the water before it is sent down line during
the treatment process. Reservoirs may have fish in them, but this
water is treated with chlorine or chloramines before going into City
water, making any cycling of reservoir water null.

Chloramines are best treated with products such as Prime or Ammo Lock
which de-toxify the ammonia (converting it from toxic NH4 to
relatively non-toxic NH3).

Here is an article about tap water:

The only way I could interpret the thing about ammonia in the drinking
water
is if he's talking about decaying organic matter in the water supply, as
in
the reservoir. We're talking very small amounts of ammonia, I would
think
too small to detect by smelling, so is it possible that the drinking
water
has the trace ammonia in it? I don't know if water treatment plants
remove
any ammonia or not.
============================
Since there are fish in reservoirs I wouldn't think there would be much
ammonia.Good point. I suppose a reservoir is cycled.
