Chlorine is commonly used for disinfection of water in the municipal water treatment plant. Since chlorine is not stable and, in order to assure the present of sufficient concentration of chlorine throughout the city water lines, the city may chose to use higher chlorine concentration at the treatment plant. Such high chlorine concentration may cause the formation of trichloro-methane, a cancer causing agent. Alternatively, city often also add ammonia along with chlorine to the water to stabilize chlorine and to prevent the formation of hazardous chlorinated compounds.
When chlorine and ammonia are mixed together, it forms chloramine. Chloramine is much more stable compared to free chlorine, but is also much milder in its oxidative reactivity. Because of this, many of the chlorine test strips fail to detect low levels of chloramine in water. This often pose a problem with the water treatment system in the dialysis facility where the quality of the purified water is critical. WaterCheck CM, Low Level Chlorine/Chloramine Test Strip is specially designed to detect less than 0.1 ppm of chloramine in the water as required by the AAMI standards
