Description
Nitrate has no color, odor or taste, so it can only be found by testing, and it turns up most often in private rural wells. The Crystal Quest Nitrate Removal Filter Cartridge uses a nitrate-selective anion exchange resin in a standard filter housing, with no electricity or drain line.
Highlights
- Ion exchange captures nitrate ions and releases an equal charge of chloride
- Macroporous resin favors nitrate over sulfate, for water with moderate to high sulfate
- Strong base anion exchanger supplied in the chloride form, with opaque resin beads
- Four sizes from 0.5 to 6 GPM for countertop, under-sink and whole house housings
- Works in a standard filter housing with no electricity or drain line
Details
Avermont Direct is an authorized Crystal Quest dealer. Common nitrate sources include septic systems, feedlots and farm fertilizer that reach groundwater. Countertop and under-sink systems use the 2-7/8" x 9-3/4" size, while whole house systems use the slim 20" or Big Blue sizes. For added carbon and redox media in one cartridge, Crystal Quest also makes a Nitrate Removal + SMART Filter Cartridge.
