With molasses you get two birds with one stone. Neat trick.

I was reading a pdf from some gov. publication which said that only a certain type of filter would work. It went on to say that the ascorbic acid would not completely get rid of chioramine. So I have been trying to find more info about that. Just to let you know why it was taking so long to reply. Could not find any other source that said what the gov pdf document said. But found plenty that verified your statement.
Thanks for the reply.
