Nitrate Reduction Water Filter
features specialized nitrate-selective
filtration technology designed to reduce
dissolved nitrate concentrations
in drinking water.
Unlike conventional sediment or activated
carbon filters, which are not generally
effective at removing dissolved nitrates,
this advanced filtration media specifically
targets nitrate ions in water.
The specialized media provide targeted
nitrate treatment without relying on
reverse osmosis or the broad removal
of naturally occurring dissolved minerals.
Available in Inline, 10″, and 20″
cartridge configurations,
these filters offer a practical solution
for households seeking additional
nitrate reduction in their
drinking water.
Suitable for compatible municipal
and private well water filtration
applications, with cartridge selection
based on water quality,
usage, and system configuration.
Understanding Your Water’s Nitrate Levels
If you use municipal water, nitrate
levels can typically be found in
your local utility’s annual
Water Quality Report, also known
as a Consumer Confidence Report.
For private well water, we recommend
periodic laboratory testing to
identify nitrate concentrations
and other potential water
quality concerns.
Knowing your nitrate levels can
help determine the appropriate
cartridge configuration and
maintenance requirements.
Not sure where to find your
water quality information?
Our team is happy to help.
Nitrate is a dissolved
compound that can be
present in both municipal
and private well water.
Because nitrate dissolves
in water, it cannot be
effectively addressed
by conventional sediment
filtration alone.
This cartridge uses
specialized nitrate-selective
adsorptive media designed
to capture dissolved
nitrate ions as water
passes through the filter.
The filtration media
are engineered to
preferentially retain
nitrate in the presence
of certain other
dissolved substances.
Unlike reverse osmosis,
this treatment method
does not rely on a
membrane that broadly
separates dissolved
minerals from water.
The media can also
be regenerated using
an appropriate solution,
allowing retained nitrate
to be released during
the regeneration process.
Actual nitrate reduction
and treatment capacity
depend on incoming
nitrate concentrations,
water chemistry,
flow rate, and
cartridge configuration.
Nitrate occurs naturally
in the environment,
but elevated concentrations
can also result from
agricultural activity,
wastewater, and
other sources.
Common Sources of Nitrate
Elevated nitrate levels
are particularly important
to monitor in private
well water, especially
in agricultural areas.
Nitrate cannot be
reliably detected
through taste,
smell, or appearance.
Health Considerations
Excessive nitrate exposure
through drinking water
can interfere with
the blood’s ability
to carry oxygen.
Infants are especially
vulnerable to a condition
called methemoglobinemia,
sometimes referred to
as blue baby syndrome.
Elevated nitrate levels
may also be a concern
during pregnancy and
for individuals with
certain health conditions.
Understanding your
water’s nitrate
concentration can help
you make informed
decisions about
drinking water treatment.
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency
establishes a maximum
contaminant level
for nitrate in public
drinking water of:
10 mg/L as nitrate-nitrogen
(NO3-N)
This is equivalent to
approximately:
44.3 mg/L as nitrate
(NO3)
These values describe
the same nitrate
concentration using
different reporting
methods.
When reviewing water
quality information,
check whether nitrate
is reported as nitrate
or nitrate-nitrogen.
Municipal Water
Public water utilities
routinely monitor
regulated contaminants,
including nitrate.
Your local utility’s
annual Consumer
Confidence Report
typically provides
nitrate monitoring
information.
These reports reflect
the utility’s monitored
water supply and may
not represent every
individual household
condition.
Private Well Water
Private wells are
not routinely monitored
by municipal utilities.
Periodic laboratory
testing is recommended,
particularly for
households near
agricultural activity,
septic systems,
or other potential
nitrate sources.
Important:
If your drinking water
exceeds the applicable
nitrate limit, use
an alternative verified
safe water source until
treatment effectiveness
has been confirmed.
Boiling water does
not remove nitrate
and can increase
its concentration.
Our nitrate reduction
filters are available
in three configurations
for compatible
filtration systems.
Inline Nitrate Reduction Filter
10″ Nitrate Reduction Cartridge
20″ Nitrate Reduction Cartridge
Important:
Cartridge size and
treatment capacity
are not interchangeable.
A larger cartridge
may provide additional
media capacity, but
actual nitrate treatment
depends on water
chemistry, flow rate,
and incoming nitrate
concentration.
If you’re unsure which
option is best suited
to your system,
our team can help
review your needs.
The specialized
nitrate-selective
filtration media
are designed to
support regeneration.
Regeneration releases
retained nitrate from
the filtration media
using an appropriate
regenerant solution.
The correct regeneration
procedure depends on
the specific cartridge
configuration and
manufacturer guidance.
Regenerant concentration,
contact time, rinsing
requirements, and
regeneration frequency
must be appropriate
for the cartridge.
Important:
Do not assume that
a general saltwater
soak is suitable
for every cartridge.
After regeneration,
the cartridge should
be thoroughly rinsed
according to the
applicable instructions.
Nitrate cannot be
reliably detected
through changes in
taste, odor, or
water flow.
Periodic testing
of treated water
is recommended to
monitor nitrate
reduction and
potential breakthrough.
Our team can provide
guidance on the
appropriate maintenance
procedure for your
selected cartridge.
Nitrate reduction
performance depends
on several factors,
including:
This filtration technology
is designed specifically
for nitrate reduction
and should not be
considered a comprehensive
treatment solution
for every possible
water contaminant.
Customers with multiple
water quality concerns
may benefit from
additional filtration
technologies.
Knowing your incoming
nitrate levels can
help estimate treatment
requirements and
maintenance needs.
For elevated nitrate
concentrations, testing
the treated water is
important to verify
that the filtration
system is performing
as intended.
These nitrate reduction
filters are designed
for compatible
pressurized drinking
water filtration systems.

appropriate cartridge:
You do not need to
have a recent water
test to explore
our nitrate filtration
options.
If you have a municipal
water quality report
or private well test
results, we’re happy
to review that
information with you.
Our team can also
help confirm cartridge
compatibility and
provide guidance
on maintenance
and regeneration.
