Nitrate Reduction Specialty Water Filter for APEC WATER Systems

The FI-NITRATE filter is a strong base anion exchange resin that preferentially removes nitrates in the presence of sulfates and other divalent ions. It offers a long service life, capable of treating up to 5,000 ppm (mg/L) of nitrate in water at a very fast flow rate, and has a 10 micron nominal rating.

Nitrates have no detectable color, taste or smell at the concentrations involved in drinking water supplies, and they do not cause discoloration of plumbing fixtures, so they remain undetectable to our senses. Often found in rural areas, nitrate levels should not exceed 10 mg/L, as this is especially important for newborn infants of up to six months, as their digestive system is particularly susceptible to nitrates. Individuals who continued exposure at above acceptable levels can cause diuresis and increased starchy deposits and hemorrhaging of the spleen.

The FI-NITRATE filter removes both natural and man-made sources of nitrates, producing safer drinking water free from nitrates for families with newborns and babies. It also protects fish and aquarium life from toxic nitrate poisoning. The filter is compatible with most standard 10 in. under sink water filter housings and has a 10 micron nominal rating, with dimensions of 2.5 in. D x 10 in. L.

Influent and effluent nitrate levels should be monitored to ensure adequate removal. The FI-NITRATE filter's strong base anion exchange resin technology makes it an effective solution for removing nitrates from drinking water, providing a safer and healthier water supply for families and aquatic ecosystems.
