Newly Dug Wells Or Existing Water Wells That Have Tested High For Nitrates Or Nitrites

The RainDance Nitrate Eater: Whole House Nitrate Filter

This system works the same way a traditional water softener does the only difference is the Nitrate Eater removes both nitrates and hard water. This is due to the mix bed of cation (water softener resin) and anion (nitrate select resins) within the Nitrate Eater tank. Salt is needed to regenerate the resins just like a normal water softener.

Safe nitrate levels in water are determined by guidelines set by health organizations to prevent health issues. Here's a breakdown:

Drinking Water

• EPA Standard (U.S.): The Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for nitrate as nitrogen (NO₃-N) in drinking water is 10 mg/L (milligrams per liter), which is equivalent to 10 parts per million (ppm).
• WHO Guideline: The World Health Organization sets a nitrate limit of 50 mg/L for nitrate as nitrate (NO₃), which roughly corresponds to 11.3 mg/L nitrate as nitrogen.

Livestock and Agriculture

• Livestock Watering: Water with nitrate levels below 100 mg/L is generally safe for livestock. Levels exceeding this may pose risks, especially for young or pregnant animals.
• Irrigation Water: Nitrate levels are less of a concern for irrigation but may lead to excessive plant growth or nutrient imbalances.

Health Risks of High Nitrate Levels

• Infants: Elevated nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome (methemoglobinemia) in infants under six months old.
• Adults: Long-term exposure to high nitrate levels is associated with potential health risks, including certain types of cancer and thyroid dysfunction.

Understanding and treating nitrate levels is crucial to ensuring safe water for drinking, agricultural, and livestock use.
