Description
The Nitrate Countertop Water Filter System uses a nitrate-selective cartridge that reduces nitrate by 90% to 95%, with breakthrough unaffected by sulfate levels.
Highlights
- Nitrate-selective media reduces nitrate 90–95%; cartridge is regenerable using a sodium chloride brine (recommended every 20–30 days depending on nitrate level)
- SMART cartridge blend (coconut-shell GAC, Eagle Redox Alloys ERA-6500 & ERA-9500, anion exchange resin) reduces heavy metals, chlorine/chloramine, pesticides, and herbicides
- 5-micron carbon block cartridge reduces VOCs, insecticides, pesticides, and industrial solvents, and traps sediment larger than 5 microns
- Diverter valve switches between filtered and unfiltered water; sits on the counter and connects to any kitchen faucet
- White polypropylene housing is BPA free; suited for homes, apartments, or office use
