Chloramine is like chlorin’s grumpy cousin who overstays their welcome. Water utilities add it to disinfect tap water, and it’s a mix of chlorine and ammonia. It’s stable, meaning it stays in your water longer than plain chlorine.
That’s great for keeping bacteria away during the journey to your tap. But it’s not great for your taste buds or your fish tank (if you have one). It smells weird, and some people say it makes water taste like a band-aid. Yikes.
