chloramine
Pool chemical compound
Chloramine refers to any of several compounds containing chlorine and nitrogen, most commonly used in water treatment as a disinfectant.
Unlike chlorine alone, chloramine produces fewer harmful byproducts and maintains its effectiveness longer in water distribution systems.
Municipal water supplies often use chloramines to kill bacteria and other pathogens.
The city switched from chlorine to chloramine to reduce the taste and odor in tap water.
Chloramines can be harmful to fish in aquariums and must be neutralized before adding treated water.
