    More likely 1.5 ppm monochloramine. Most water treatment companies are adding ammonia along with the chlorine these days to prevent the formation of chloroform!

    Pour me a shot of CC also!

    Surprisingly, nope! 1.5 ppm FC, CC measures 0.

    You know, I have never thought of using Ben's kit to test my tap water. I probably wouldn't want to see the results. We always use a Pur water filter on the kitchen sink, and our fridge has a filter in it as well. I will tell you this, there is a HUGE difference in the taste of plain tap water and the filtered water. I can't drink plain tap water now after using the filter.

    We must be dead already here in middle Tennessee because I've tested my tap water as high as 3ppm FC! Why the heck did I bother to quit smoking?????
