just a aquasafecanada unit with standard pre-filters (5 micron granular carbon and 1 micron carbon block).

Old article (http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-11/rhf/feature/index.php)but oks regular rodi systems.

I switched to chloramine blocks from carbon blocks. Edmonton uses chloramine to treat there water not chlorine. From what I understand carbon removes chlorine and not chloramine. I only switched about a year ago.

paraphrased from the link I put up; the carbon strips the chlorine from the chloramine and the remaining ammonia is handled by the ro and di
