The change in disinfectant is of critical importance for consumers who use home dialysis units. Free chlorine and chloramine can affect kidney dialysis patients during the dialysis process if the chlorine is not removed form the water being used.
The process of removing chloramine from the water is slightly different from the process used to remove chlorine. Dialysis machines may require modification or adjustment for free chlorine removal. Dialysis patients should contact their physicians for specific information regarding how to accommodate the change in the water supply disinfectant.
