Question: A guy who sells filters showed me a chart that said Reverse Osmosis dosen’t remove chlorine. Is that true?

Answer: That guy may someday be President or some other high ranking politican, because technically what he said was true, but for practical purposes it’s an out-and-out lie. It’s true that the Reverse Osmosis membrane doesn’t remove chlorine. It doesn’t have to, because it has a high quality carbon filter (two on some models) in the flow in-front of it that do the job. In fact, if the carbon filter didn’t remove all the chlorine, the membrane would get eaten alive in no time because TFC membranes cannot tolerate chlorine. Statements like this are an obvious effort to deceive. It’s surprising that some very large companies which sell one or two stage counter-top filters continually repeat such misrepresentations just to sell their products.
