Hello, and thank you for your inquiry.
Do you have a municipal source of drinking water that is being treated with chlorine and/or chloramines?
Have you connected with your local health Department at all?

I would recommend you visit the NSF International website, as they are an independent firm that rates various drinking water filtration systems. You may find this resource sheet helpful, and if you click on the water treatment systems link you can search for various systems based on different contaminants of concern, etc.

EPA has some infommation about public drinking water disinfection, but I didn't see anything about filtration.

I did want to share this publication with you, in case it was of help. While the GAG systems on page 2 are used to remove chlorine and chlorine reaction products, I do not know if chloramine is one of them. I am reaching out now to some colleagues at MSU and see if I can come up some information for you.
