It also protects aquatic life from toxic nitrate levels and is compatible with most standard under-sink filter systems. With a 10 micron nominal rating and NSF certification, this filter guarantees high-quality water filtration. ## Description The FI-NITRATE filter is a strong base anion exchange resin that removes nitrates preferentially in the presence of sulfates and other divalent ions. It has a 10 micron nominal rating and offers a long service life, capable of treating up to 5,000 ppm (mg/L) of nitrate in water at a very fast flow rate. Nitrates have no detectable color, taste or smell at the concentrations involved in drinking water supplies, and they do not cause discoloration of plumbing fixtures, so they remain undetectable to our senses. Often found in rural areas, nitrate levels should not exceed 10 mg/L. This is especially important for newborn infants of up to six months because their digestive system is particularly susceptible to nitrates. Individuals who continued exposure at above acceptable levels can cause diuresis and increased starchy deposits and hemorrhaging of the spleen. Influent and effluent nitrate levels should be monitored to ensure adequate removal. ## Features - Removes both natural and man-made sources of nitrates - Produces safer drinking water free from nitrates for families with newborns and babies - Protects fish and aquarium life from toxic nitrate poisoning - Compatible with most standard 10 in. under sink water filter housings - 10 micron nominal rating, 2.5 in.

We had a whole house filtration system already installed so we just simply exchanged one of our filters for this one. The first month was good as it reduced our nitrate levels to "within normal limits" but it didn't last much longer than that. On the first day of month 2, the levels were again found to be out of the safe drinking water limits. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/240467582-apec-water-systems-fi-nitrate-2-5x10-nitrate-reduction-specialty](https://www.desertcart.it/products/240467582-apec-water-systems-fi-nitrate-2-5x10-nitrate-reduction-specialty) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
