Will disinfection residual of 0.3ppm chloramine control naegleria fowleri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure.: "N.fowleri cannot survive in water that is clean, cool & chlorinated. Free chlorine or chloramines at 0.5mg/L or higher will control N.fowleri, provided that the disinfectant persists through the water supply system.z" REF: http://conditions.health.qld.gov.au/HealthCondition/condition/14/165/101/naegleria-fowleri-qs-and-as
