Your city water is treated with chlorine or chloramine to make it safe to drink. But those same disinfectants don't stop at the tap - they're absorbed through your skin in the shower, inhaled as chlorinated steam, and affect the taste and smell of every glass of water in your home.

The Kent Chlorine & Chloramine Removal Water Filter removes them at the main water entry point - before they reach any tap, shower, or appliance in your home. The result is cleaner, fresher, better-tasting water throughout your entire house. Designed for city water homes across Southern Ontario and the GTA.

From $29.95/month - flexible purchase and rental plans available. Professional installation included.

Quick Answer: What does the Kent Chlorine & Chloramine removal water filter do?

The Kent Chlorine & Chloramine Removal Water Filter is a whole house water filtration system installed at your main water entry point. It uses NSF/ANSI Standard 61 approved activated or catalytic coconut carbon media - made in the USA - to remove chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, and heavy metals from your city water before it reaches any tap, shower, or appliance in your home. Every system includes professional installation and is backed by manufacturer warranty coverage.

Why Southern Ontario City Water homes need this filter?

Why Southern Ontario City Water homes need this filter?

Across Southern Ontario and the GTA, municipal water suppliers use chlorine or chloramine to disinfect drinking water - keeping it free from harmful bacteria and waterborne disease. This is an essential part of public water treatment.

However these disinfectants don't disappear the moment water enters your home. Residual chlorine and chloramine remain in your water - and they affect your daily life in ways you may not realize:

This system is particularly suited for:

  • In the shower: Chlorine and chloramine are absorbed through your skin and inhaled as chlorinated steam - drying out skin and hair and potentially affecting respiratory health over time.
  • At the tap: Residual disinfectants give city water that familiar "swimming pool" taste and smell that makes drinking straight from the tap unpleasant.
  • In your appliances: Chlorine accelerates corrosion of metal components in water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines - shortening their lifespan.
  • In your laundry: Chlorinated water can cause gradual color fading and fabric degradation over time.

The Kent Chlorine & Chloramine Removal Water Filter addresses all of these concerns at the source - treating all incoming water before it reaches any part of your home.

What the Kent Filter removes?

The NSF/ANSI Standard 61 approved activated or catalytic coconut carbon media removes:

  • Chlorine: the most commonly used municipal water disinfectant
  • Chloramine: an alternative disinfectant increasingly used by municipalities across Southern Ontario
  • Pesticides: agricultural and environmental chemical residues that can enter municipal water supplies
  • Heavy Metals: including lead and other metallic contaminants that affect water safety and taste

All media is made in the USA and tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 - one of the most rigorous independent standards for drinking water system components.

What the Kent Filter does for your home

What the Kent Filter does for your home
  • Better Tasting Water at Every Tap: Removes the chlorine and chloramine responsible for the "swimming pool" taste and smell that affects city water across Southern Ontario.
  • More Comfortable Showers: Reduces chlorine absorption through skin and inhalation of chlorinated steam - leaving skin feeling less dry and hair less brittle after every shower.
  • Healthier Indoor Air Quality: Reduces chlorinated vapors released during showering and cooking - improving the air quality inside your home.
  • Protects Your Appliances: Removes chlorine and chemical residues that accelerate corrosion of metal components in water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines.
  • Brighter, Longer-Lasting Laundry: Filtered water preserves the color and quality of clothes - reducing chlorine-related fading and fabric wear over time.
  • Reduces Disinfection Byproducts: Minimizes the formation of harmful disinfection byproducts (DBPs) that can form when chlorine reacts with organic matter in water.
  • Extends Water Softener Life: Chlorine degrades water softener resin over time - filtering chlorine before it reaches your softener extends the life of your softener media.
  • Removes Pesticides & Heavy Metals:NSF/ANSI approved media goes beyond chlorine removal to address pesticides and heavy metals that standard filters may not treat.
  • Whole House Coverage: Treats all water entering your home - not just the kitchen tap - so every shower, tap, and appliance receives filtered water.
  • Backed by Manufacturer Warranty: Every system is protected by manufacturer warranty coverage.

How it Works

The Kent Chlorine & Chloramine Removal Water Filter is installed at your home's main water entry point - typically in the basement near where the main water line enters the house.

What the Kent Filter does for your home

Stage 1:
City Water Enters the Filter

All incoming city water passes through the NSF/ANSI Standard 61 approved activated or catalytic coconut carbon media bed inside the fiberglass tank.

Stage 2:
Carbon Media Removes Contaminants

The coconut carbon media captures and neutralizes chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, and heavy metals as water passes through - using the proven process of activated carbon adsorption. The catalytic carbon variant is specifically effective at removing chloramine - which standard carbon filters struggle to address completely.

Stage 3:
Filtered Water Flows to Your Home

Clean, filtered water exits the tank and flows to every tap, shower, and appliance in your home - free from chlorine taste, chloramine odour, and chemical residues.

Stage 4:
Automatic Backwashing

The system automatically backwashes the carbon media at regular intervals - keeping the media bed clean and maintaining consistent filtration performance over the life of the system.mm

Is the Kent Chlorine & Chloramine Removal Filter Worth It?

For Southern Ontario city water homeowners who notice chlorine taste or smell in their water, experience dry skin or hair after showering, or want to protect their appliances from chemical-related wear, the Kent Chlorine & Chloramine Removal Filter delivers whole house results that a single under-sink filter simply cannot match. At $29.95/month it treats every tap, shower and appliance in your home, not just the kitchen sink.

For homeowners who also have a water softener, the filter extends the life of the softener resin by removing chlorine before it reaches the resin tank - making it a practical protective investment regardless of water taste concerns. For complete water treatment combining filtration and softening in one integrated system, the Kent 5.0 Filter + Softener Duplex Tanks System - is also worth considering.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between chlorine and chloramine in city water?

    Chlorine is the most commonly used municipal water disinfectant - it kills bacteria and waterborne pathogens effectively but leaves a noticeable taste and smell. Chloramine is an alternative disinfectant formed by combining chlorine with ammonia - it is increasingly used by municipalities across Southern Ontario because it is more stable and persists longer in the distribution system. Both are safe at regulated levels but leave residual amounts in tap water that affect taste, odour, and skin comfort. Standard carbon filters can remove chlorine effectively but struggle with chloramine - which is why the Kent filter uses catalytic coconut carbon media specifically designed to address both.

  • Does a whole house chlorine filter improve shower water?

    Yes - one of the most noticeable benefits of a whole house chlorine filter is improved shower water quality. Chlorine and chloramine are absorbed through skin and inhaled as steam during showers - contributing to dry skin, brittle hair, and respiratory irritation over time. By filtering all incoming water at the main entry point, the Kent system ensures that every shower in your home uses filtered water - something that an under-sink filter cannot provide.

  • What is NSF/ANSI Standard 61 and why does it matter?

    NSF/ANSI Standard 61 is an independent certification standard that verifies water treatment components do not leach harmful contaminants into drinking water. Media certified to this standard has been independently tested and approved - providing homeowners with verified assurance that the filtration media performs safely and as claimed. The Kent Chlorine & Chloramine Removal Filter uses NSF/ANSI Standard 61 approved media for this reason.

  • Can a chlorine filter be combined with a water softener?

    Yes - and for many Southern Ontario city water homes, combining a chlorine filter with a water softener is the recommended approach. The chlorine filter removes chemical disinfectants before water reaches the softener, protecting the softener resin from chlorine-related degradation and extending the life of the softener media. For a fully integrated combined solution, the Kent 5.0 Filter + Softener Duplex Tanks System → combines both functions in one dual-tank system.

  • What does the Kent Chlorine & Chloramine Removal Filter remove from city water?

    The filter removes chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, and heavy metals using NSF/ANSI Standard 61 approved activated or catalytic coconut carbon media made in the USA. It is designed specifically for city water homes where municipal disinfectants affect taste, odour, and water comfort throughout the home.

  • What is the difference between activated carbon and catalytic carbon?

    Activated carbon is highly effective at removing chlorine from water. Catalytic carbon is a specially processed form of activated carbon that is significantly more effective at removing chloramine - which is more resistant to standard carbon filtration. The Kent system uses activated or catalytic coconut carbon media depending on your specific water conditions - confirmed during your free water test.

  • Does the filter require electricity?

    Yes - the control valve is powered by a 12VDC transformer (100-240VAC input) to manage the automatic backwashing cycles. The system is energy efficient by design with minimal power consumption.

  • How often does the filter backwash?

    The system automatically backwashes the carbon media at programmed intervals to maintain filtration performance. The backwash schedule is configured during installation based on your household water usage and local water conditions.

  • What size filter do I need for my home?

    The right model size depends on your household size, daily water usage, and chlorine or chloramine levels in your city water. Kent's team determines the correct size during your free professional water test - before installation.

  • Does the filter help if I already have a water softener?

    Yes - chlorine in city water degrades water softener resin over time, reducing its effectiveness and shortening the softener's lifespan. Installing a chlorine filter before your water softener protects the resin and extends the life of your softener system. For a fully integrated solution, explore the Kent 5.0 Filter + Softener.
