Toxicity Still Unknown

The newly identified compound, chloronitramide anion (chemically expressed as Cl–N–NO2−), is an end product of inorganic chloramine decomposition. While its toxicity remains unknown, researchers are concerned about its prevalence and similarity to other toxic compounds, necessitating further study to assess its public health risk, the researchers wrote.

Chloramines, chemical compounds containing chlorine and ammonia used to kill bacteria, viruses, and other organisms that can cause illness, have been used by water utilities since the 1930s. Over 20 percent of Americans consume drinking water treated with chloramines, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

I guess cannabis was trying to warn us all along

Chloramines are bad news

There’s a village near here that hasn’t had drinking water for years, the water company trucks in bottled water for them. Some sort of chloramine resistant bacteria leaching from a farm they can’t get out of the system.
There must be a better way, @Creeperpark are you re mineralising it before drinking? I might get one. Even a Jug filter makes a big difference to the taste, I can smell the chlorine at arms length out of the tap.

Filter then remineralize, RO on its own will leach our bodies, we need our salts just within reason
