Vitamin C for Chloromines?

[TexasTodd]

Hi Randy, someone posted in another area that vitamin C can neutralize chloromines with 1tsp per 100 liters of RO/DI.

Any truth to this? I didn't see anything in one of the main articles you did on chloromines.

Thanks,
Todd

It can.

Do you have reason to be concerned?

IMO, much of the "concern" about chloramine is driven by people wanting to sell products to deal with it. Most normal RO/DI adequately remove it.
