NITRATE plus MEDIUM

Range of applicationTap water in agricultural areas with high nitrate concentrations

Prolonged exposure to high levels of nitrates in drinking water can be a serious health risk for adults, but even more so for infants and nursing mothers. Even the smallest amounts can inhibit oxygen uptake. The resulting condition is called methemoglobinemia or "blue baby syndrome".Elevated nitrate levels in groundwater come from agriculture, nitrogen fertiliser runoff, sewage treatment plants, wastewater from sewage treatment, animal waste and industrial waste. In the last 50 years, the amount of nitrogen in the soil has doubled. A simple but effective solution is the AcquaPhi NITRATE plus with a filtration of 0.5 µm to remove nitrates completely from the water. It also reduces chlorine concentration and eliminates unwanted odours and tastes. odours and flavours.

Application range: Is a disposable filter cartridge with quick-change housing with filtration by an activated carbon block with selective ion exchange resin including silver ion technology, ensuring a Fine filtration 0.5 µm. The sterility (antibacterial effect) in the filter core is guaranteed by the silver ions.The compact filter core inside consists of 100% activated carbon from biological coconut shells.

plus Function

Additionally removes organic compounds, odours and tastes in the water, reduces chlorine, microplastics, pharmaceutical residues and heavy metals.

Possible effects on health 

Nitrate levels above the MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) can pose a serious health risk to infants and pregnant or lactating women. Possible health effects include oxygen transport in the blood of infants under six months, nausea, vomiting, prenatal problems and birth defects.
