The RainDance Nitrate Eater Nitrate Filters Are Designed For Whole House, Agriculture & Livestock Use
How Do Nitrates Enter The Water Supply?: Nitrate (NO3) is an inorganic chemical composed of nitrogen and oxygen. High Nitrate contamination of drinking water usually results from runoff of agricultural fertilizers or from human or animal wastes, such as livestock feedlots or faulty septic systems.
How Much Nitrate Is Allowed In Drinking Water? The maximum contaminant level (MCL) for nitrate in drinking water is 10 milligrams per liter (mg/L or ppm)). This is the maximum allowable level of nitrate that may be present in drinking water without a high risk of causing health problems.
How Do I Know If There Is Nitrate In My Well Water? Since nitrate is colorless, tasteless, and odorless, you cannot tell if you have nitrate in your well water unless you test for it. Nitrate is more often found more in groundwater than in surface water. Nitrate is commonly found in shallow wells that are located in agricultural areas. Nitrate levels in ground water may change over time, especially after a heavy rainfall. Nitrate concentrations above guideline levels have been found in well water samples throughout US., especially near heavily farmed areas. In some cases, wells located near each other may have different levels of nitrate, so you cannot rely on test results from a neighbor’s well. High Nitrates can be found in Arizona, California, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Nevada, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.

Why remove nitrates? Nitrate levels in many well waters are often high. Over 60% of nitrate enters water from agricultural land. High concentrations of nitrate in water can cause methaemoglobinaemia in very young children (blue baby syndrome). The nitrate is converted to nitrite in the body which in turn interferes with oxygen up take in the blood. The current regulatory standard of 10 mg/l nitrate is derived from the EPA primary drinking water standard. which is intended to ensure that drinking water will not cause methaemoglobinaemia.
How do I remove Nitrates? The most common method of removing nitrate is with an ion exchange resin. The nitrate rich water passes over a resin where the nitrate is exchanged for chloride ions. When no more nitrate can be exchanged the resin needs to be replaced or regenerated by rinsing with salt. Reverse Osmosis can also remove nitrate from water. The water passes through very small pores at a high pressure. This combination stops most contaminants just allowing water molecules through. However RO systems are relatively expensive, may require the water to be pre-treated, and often remove beneficial minerals. Our Nitrate Eater's listed below are a cost effective alternative to reverse osmosis systems. |
