Does a carbon block filter remove chlorine?

[abortedsoul]

I believe this is my first time posting in this section, as I usually just stick to the ray section. Hi everybody!

I've got an RO machine that I have been using, but I want to leave some minerals in the water so that I don't have to use supplements. To try and solve this I've removed the RO membrane. If I only use the sediment/carbon block filters, will it remove the chlorine for me?

Thanks,

I'm not 100% on this, but I would think it would not remove chlorine with the RO membrane removed. I am also curious as to what others have to say.

carbon does remove chlorine, but probably not to such a degree that you can get away without water conditioner..because this would likely require frequent replacement of the carbon block..

If the carbon block filter is working fully, then yes, it will remove all your chlorine.

I would add this just in case you forget to get a new carbon block
and the old one is saturated.....Google, Dosmatic minidos
and dilute your prime......good luck.....

If you're willing to drop the money upfront, then injecting a stock solution of good dechlor is an excellent way to go. FWIW, however, a product called "chemilizer" is only a little more and has way less wear and tear products. If you're interested in this route, I suggest shooting Li (neoprodigy) a pm, as he has used both.
