Nice thanks for the research!!! Maybe one of these days I will spring for a really nice ro system. I have a cheap one from ebay right now.
capt its years later. What route have you been using for your water supply? r.o. water? or you just adding the humic acid to tap?
I use a big blue filter with a chloramine filter. Super easy and not really expensive. filtersfast.com I have the pentek filter.
nice. does that give you a pretty decent ppm or ec to start with? my tap is 250 and if i unplug the "ro" filter and just use the prefilter and chloramine filter it still comes out 250ppm.
this says that chloramine will not affect bennies in soil, but i am not sure about hydro. It also says that an RO filter will do nothing to prevent chloramines from passing through. Those who have looked at the bennies under a scope report significant amounts of microbial life, so my guess is the amount of chloramines is not high enough to affect them... just a guess though.
The below article is government quoted,

Basically is says that Absorbic acid (Vitamin C) will neutralise Chlorine AND Chloramine. They recommend 1000mg for an average sized bathtub. I reckon I might buy those lemon juice squirt things and put 5-10 drops per 10 litres for my water and let it sit a few hours before adding nutes and watering. Hopefully there will be enough Absorbic acid within to do the trick. I always need to PH down anyway cos I grow in coco. I reckon it could be an effective cheap easy fix for my small operation.
