Nitrate & Nitrite Removal System - Whole-House / Well
The problem
Nitrate contamination in drinking water is a hidden danger, especially for infants and pregnant mothers. Even low levels, often caused by fertilizer runoff and septic systems, can lead to serious health risks including methemoglobinemia or “blue baby syndrome.”
Hard-to-detect, nitrate can silently affect your family's health and compromise the safety of your home's water supply. The symptoms of exposure can be subtle yet severe, making reliable removal critical.
How it works — the nitrate-selective resin that fixes it
This system utilizes a certified nitrate-selective anion-exchange resin that captures nitrate and nitrite ions from water as it passes through the media bed. Unlike generic resins, this resin remains effective even when sulfate is present, avoiding performance drops.
The resin is housed within a durable fiberglass mineral tank and periodically regenerated using salt via the metered backwashing control valve. This automatic regeneration restores resin capacity on demand, eliminating unnecessary water and salt waste.
What it handles
Built for Nitrate
For homes relying on wells or areas with agricultural runoff, nitrate contamination poses a unique threat that demands specialized treatment. This complete nitrate removal system is engineered precisely for these conditions, using certified resin media proven to capture harmful nitrate and nitrite ions effectively.
Unlike generic water softeners or filtration systems, this setup is tailored and sized based on your home's certified nitrate test results, ensuring that the media volume and flow rate match your household’s water use. Its automatic regeneration means you won't need to manage salt or timing manually, crucial for busy families and those wanting peace of mind.
Built on a genuine metered backwashing control valve valve — not a disposable clone
This system runs on a metered backwashing control valve control valve — the industry-standard brain of the system. Its parts are stocked by water dealers nationwide and stay available for decades, so a worn seal or piston is a quick, low-cost rebuild — never a throwaway. For a Nitrate where downtime is expensive, that serviceability is the whole point. We never build on unbranded clone heads that strand you when they fail.
Genuine, serviceable, warrantied — a system you keep for 15 years instead of replacing in four.
