Nitrate Reduction
What Are Nitrates?
Nitrates are naturally occurring. All rainfall and groundwater aquifers contain some nitrates. Higher nitrate levels occur where farmers spread inorganic fertilizers and animal manures on cropland. Nitrogen not taken up by crops can leach through the soil into the groundwater.
Treating Nitrates In Water
Nitrates may be successfully removed from water using treatment processes such as ion exchange, distillation, and reverse osmosis.
Heating or boiling your water will not remove nitrates, the nitrate levels of water can actually increase slightly in concentration if the water is boiled. Chlorinating the water will also not remove the nitrates.
