Medical centers that perform dialysis are responsible for purifying the water that enters the dialysis machines. All medical facilities have been notified of the change. If you have any doubt, please ask your physician. You should first check with your physician who will probably recommend the appropriate type of water treatment. Often, home dialysis service companies can make the needed modifications, but you should check with your physician to be certain.
Chloramines are harmful when they go directly into the bloodstream, as happens in kidney dialysis.
Fish also take chloramines directly into their bloodstreams. That s why chloramines must be removed from water that goes into kidney dialysis machines or is used in fish tanks and ponds. Everyone can drink water that s chloraminated because the digestive process neutralizes the chloramines before they reach the bloodstream. Even kidney dialysis patients can drink, cook and bathe in chloraminated water. Even large amounts of water used in cleaning a cut would have no effect because virtually no water actually enters the bloodstream that way.
