For over a century, public water systems have used chemical compounds to kill pathogens that cause waterborne diseases such as cholera.

    Can't remember my chemistry, would the anion fuck with the carbon and not bind to it?

      Well yeah kinda. You get Carbondioxide and Chlorine and a very nucleophile Nitramide Anion which would react with water. But you would get it dissolved. The Chlorine could get then be removed by the activated carbon. Removing a Chloronitramide anion is something that isnt really feasible/affordable by a DIY homebrew water filtration system. Especially since newly indentified.
