Activated Charcoal and Chlorine

Yes, it does remove it and many other things for a while. Go to a home
center store and look at the water filter cartridges. You will find a
description of what each cart. can remove and more importantly, for how many
processed gallons it will work for.

My RO unit uses a standard .5 micron carbon block cart. for this purpose as
chlorine will screw up a RO membrane.

I know folks that run hatcheries on continuous drip off of city water by
running water through these standard carbon block carts.

I visit several newsgroups & and on-line discussion groups and on one of
them the other day the claim was made that activated charcoal will remove
chlorine. Now this was news to me. Will charcoal remove chlorine? If so,
how
effective is it?
Thanks
