Nitrate Eater For Well Water Sources:

Question: How do you remove high nitrates from well water?
Answer: Water containing high nitrates is passed through specialty resin, manufactured solely for the purpose of removing specific contaminants in the water.
Question: Is the Nitrate Eater a whole house nitrate removal system?
Answer: Yes, the Nitrate Eater provides treated clean well water at every tap in your house. However, the Nitrate Eater is much more than a whole house nitrate filter. Nearly half of our Nitrate Eater customers use this system for farms, livestock drinking water and commercial business applications.
Question: How much Nitrate does the Nitrate Eater remove?
Answer: The RainDance Nitrate Eater can effectively treat up to 150ppm of nitrates and reduce the levels to below 10ppm or down to trace or non-detectable levels.
Question: Does the Nitrate Eater soften hard water?
Answer: Yes, the Nitrate Eater softens hard water up to 40gpg. Hard water softening is needed as excessive hard water can destroy the specialized media we use to remove nitrates. If you already have a water softener and would like to add the Nitrate Eater we can remove the softening option. Contact Us for additional information.
Question: Does the Nitrate Eater remove well water iron?
Answer: No, iron will foul the specialized media we use to remove nitrates and must be filtered prior to the Nitrate Eater. If you have both iron and high nitrates contact us for our packaged water treatment solution.
Question: Will the Nitrate Eater remove sulfur odors?
Answer: No, the Nitrate Eater can reduce some odors. However, hydrogen sulfide gas needs to be filtered with different technology. If you have hydrogen sulfide gas "rotten egg odor" contact us for the proper treatment method.
Question: Is the Nitrate Eater a reverse osmosis system?
Answer: No, reverse osmosis is a completely different water treatment technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, molecules and other contaminants from drinking water - a whole house reverse osmosis will also require hard water pretreatment, separate storage tank and delivery pump.

Question: Can the Nitrate Eater provide continuous nitrate filtration?
Answer: Yes, for high water usage applications such as large homes, commercial business, and applications that require nitrate free water 24/7 we offer our Twin Alternating Nitrate Eater softeners. The Twin Alternating Nitrate Eater Systems provide an uninterrupted supply of soft nitrate free water to your home or business. The Twin Nitrate Eater series has two tanks for softening hard water and nitrates in your well water. Water is filtered and softened in one tank while the other is in a standby mode. When the filtering capacity of the first tank is reached, the system automatically switches tanks. The first tank then starts the backwashing cycle. This cycle is repeated when the second tank reaches its capacity point. The perfect choice for high water use households, high nitrates levels, or where continuous water treatment is desired with no down time.
Question: Do I need a plumber to install the Nitrate Eater?
Answer: The Nitrate Eater is installed exactly like a water softener. If you are handy and possess basic plumbing skills you should have no problem with this installation. We provide detailed installation instructions, pictures, and offer several means of tech support for you or your plumber.
Question: How will I know if the Nitrate Eater is working?
Answer: We include (2) test bibs and a water test kit with your order - these bibs are easily installed before and after the Nitrate Eater for on the spot testing - On Site Water Test Kit Included!

Nitrate Eater Features

The EPA has approved ion exchange and reverse osmosis treatment methods for removing nitrates/nitrites. The maximum contaminant level (MCL) is 10 parts per million (ppm) nitrate as nitrogen (NO3 as N). A laboratory may also choose to express nitrate as nitrate (NO3 as NO3) in the water analysis, and in this case, the EPA MCL is 44.2 ppm (10 ppm as N is equivalent to 44.2 ppm as NO3).
Selective Nitrate resin is NSF certification under NSF Standard 61 for potable water municipal installations as a process media.
Unlike most nitrate filters, the Nitrate Eater is designed to soften your hard water as well as remove high nitrates. Why both?
Removes up to 150 mg/L Nitrate & 40 grains (684 mg/L) Hard Water!
Nitrate levels are reduced well below the EPA standard, and in most cases, non-detectable!

Featured Blog: How Does The Nitrate Eater Work?

The Nitrate Eater is a self-backwashing system that automatically removes the trapped contaminants within the filter bed and washes them down the drain. This is accomplished with a digital electronic control valve that is mounted on top of the Nitrate Eater. This valve is controlled by an electronic meter that calculates the amount of water being used. Once the meter reaches x amount of gallons, it then initiates the backwash cycle that cleans the bed of filtration media and resets it for the next period of filtration. Easy maintenance - periodically add sodium pellets or sodium-free potassium pellets to brine tank needed to regenerate the media.
