Will reverse osmosis plant membranes remove all of the chloramine for kidney dialysis use?
Most membranes will not reject chlorine or chloramine. In fact, both chlorine and chloramine are damaging in most (but not all) membranes and they are typically removed prior to processing water through reverse osmosis membranes. For information regarding your specific equipment, you should consult the manufacturer of your reverse osmosis membranes and experts in the medical field with respect to your process. Do medical centers, hospitals, and clinics that perform kidney dialysis know about the change to chloramines? Yes, all medical facilities are being notified of the change.

If you have any concerns about this process, talk with your physician. Can people with kidney ailments, with diabetes, or on low-sodium diets use chloraminated water?
