The MEGACHAR will hold up very well when the pH of the feed water is between 2 and 11. Water supplies with pH over 11 are very rarely, if ever, found. (Chlorine bleach has a pH of ~11.5.) © 2007-2009 Aquathin Corporation. All rights reserved. Rev 20091029... -
Page 21: Chlorine And Chloramines
0.5 to 1.0 parts-per-million (ppm). Chlorine and Chloramines can foul and destroy most softener resin and destroy rubber seals like toilet flap valves, resulting in leaks.
