Utilities that disinfect with chloramine need a carbon that can remove it, and catalytic carbon is the standard fix.
The sulfur
The same surface chemistry reduces hydrogen sulfide, so the rotten-egg smell comes out of the water.
The install
It installs like a whole-house carbon filter, sized to the flow and the contaminant level.
