CuZn Nitrate Countertop and Under-Counter Water Filter
Well Water Nitrate Water Filter System Removes
Nitrates and Chemicals from
Drinking Water
Clean
water is the lifeline to good health and CuZn Nitrate Water Filters
provide the best possible water for cooking, drinking and washing every
time you turn on the faucet by filtering chlorine and nitrate from
well water-based drinking water.
What Are Nitrates?
Nitrate (NO3) is a naturally occurring form of
nitrogen (N) which is very mobile in water. It is essential for plant
growth and is often added to soil to improve productivity. Water moving
down through soil after rainfall or irrigation carries dissolved nitrate
with it to ground water. In this way, nitrate enters the water supplies
of many homeowners who use wells or springs. Drinking water high in
nitrate is potentially harmful to human and animal health. Read more

in Drinking Water
Because nitrate is colorless, tasteless and odorless, water
must be chemically tested to determine contamination. In levels above
10.0 ppm as Nitrogen, it is considered as a hazard to infant's health
and that of animals and should be removed. Your County Health
Department and many private laboratories will test for nitrate.
How Do You Filter Nitrate From Water?
An ideal, low cost method for removing Nitrates is a system much like
a water softener only it contains a Type II strong base Cation resin,
which the CuZn Nitrate Water Filters use. The unit will remove
nitrates. Hardness over 8 grains, all chlorine
and iron must be removed from the water supply to the nitrate removal
tank. Cation resin is a negatively charged resin bead that exchanges
positively charged ions in the water. Cation resin is most often used
for removing nitrates.
But CuZn water filtration products don't stop there. Using a combination
of trace minerals (copper and zinc in the patented form of KDF®, which
meets NSF standards 42 and 61) and acid
washed coconut shell carbon, the CuZn Refillable Countertop water
filter removes more than 600 contaminants from water, including chlorine,
lead, heavy metals, trihalomethanes (THMs), herbicides and pesticides
much the same as Nature uses the earth and its minerals to cleanse water.
(Unlike carbon-only filters, bacteria can't grow inside the bacteriostatic
CuZn filters!)
The CuZn Nitrate Water
Filter for drinking water is also excellent in situations where sulfur
and iron are present and a CuZn Whole House system is not feasible.
Sulfur and iron expends the media more quickly than other contaminants,
so refilling the system is economical and environmentally responsible.
