Because nitrates have no taste, odor, or color, many households — especially those using well water or located near agricultural areas — may not realize contamination is present until water testing reveals elevated levels. The Crystal Quest Nitrate Whole House Water Filter is engineered to help reduce nitrate contamination at the point of entry, treating water before it reaches faucets, showers, appliances, and plumbing.
Highlights
- Uses nitrate-selective ion exchange media engineered specifically to help reduce nitrate contamination while maintaining strong household water flow
- Three-stage process: 20-inch sediment pre-filtration, nitrate-selective filtration media, and 20-inch carbon post-filtration for improved taste and clarity
- Automatic regeneration system designed for long-term nitrate reduction performance
- Well suited for homes using private well water or located near farmland, septic systems, or agricultural runoff zones
- The EPA has set a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 10 mg/L (ppm) for nitrate in drinking water; boiling water does not remove nitrates
- Can be upgraded with SMART multimedia filtration, a water softener, a UV water sterilizer, a leak detector valve, a metered control valve, or an oxidation system
