NITRATE REMOVAL CARTRIDGES

The Aries AF Series cartridges provides effective nitrate removal by the utiliza­tion of ResinTech® SIR-100-HP resin. Its unique functionality offers twenty five
times greater affinity than standard strong-based anion resins. This cartridge
removes nitrates efficiently with low leakage, and eliminates the possibility of
nitrate dumping upon exhaustion.

APPLICATIONS

DRINKING WATER -

If laboratory testing indicates elevated levels of nitrates; the use of a nitrate
removal cartridge is beneficial to further purify the municipal water source.

PRIVATE WELLS -

Supply 15% of American populations with drinking water, and these wells are
not subject to EPA regulations. These wells provide safe clean water, but occa­sionally can become contaminated, resulting in illness. It is the responsibility of
the well owner to maintain and treat their wells.

TARGETED REMOVAL FOR SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS -

The nitrate removal cartridge is especially useful, due to its ability to remove
nitrates preferentially in the presence of sulfates and other divalent ions.

NITRATE REMOVAL

COMPONENT

ABOUT NITR ATES

Nitrates are naturally occurring compounds that are formed when organic matter decomposes in nature. Nitrates are colorless, odorless and tasteless
compounds and cannot be detected unless water samples are laboratory tested.

The primary inorganic nitrates that may contaminate drinking water are potassium and ammonium nitrate both widely used in lawn and garden
fertilizers. Most nitrogenous materials in natural waters tend to convert to nitrate so all sources of combined nitrogen; particularly organic nitrogen
and ammonium should be considered as potential sources of contamination

The EPA defines maximum contaminant level(MCL) allowed in drinking water to be 10 mg/L NO

-N or 45 mg/NO3. Certain populations should moni-

tor nitrate levels to insure they do not suffer any ill health effects.
