Nitrate Removal Overview
1000 Series – Nitrate Removal Systems –
Clack Valve Platform for Average Size Homes
Your customers expect their water to be clear and clean throughout the home. When properly sized the UA 1000 series nitrate systems reduce nitrates to acceptable mcl levels. The EPA has set maximum contaminant level for nitrate in water as NO3-1 and Nitrite as NO2-1 is 10.0 mg/L (as N). While it is possible to use Type I and II anion exchange resins, the safest treatment for point of entry (POE) drinking water is nitrate selective ion exchange resin.
Pre-treatment of the water with a softener and or iron removal systems may be required ahead of the nitrate system. Considering potential health concerns proper sizing of nitrate systems is imperative. We recommend a full water analysis including total anions prior to application.
Sources of Nitrate
- Human Sewage – malfunctioning septic systems
- Livestock manure runoff
- Fertilizers
- Erosion of natural deposits
Nitrate Health Effects
- Methemoglobinemia (blue baby syndrome)
- Most potential health effects are seen in infants under 6 months.
Treatment Methods
Whole house treatment is strongly recommended although other treatment methods are available for point use – reverse osmosis and distillation.
Standard Features
- NSF/ANSI certified components
- Clack 1” Valve with 1” high flow internal distribution
- Premium grade Nitrate Selective ion exchange resin
- Brine tank with float assembly and alarm
System Advantages
- Nitrate free water at every tap.
- Operates problem free for years with rugged valves.
Clack Valve Features
- Engineered for low noticeable pressure drop during occasional peak demand.
- Solid State microprocessor with easy access front panel settings
- Front panel display for time of day, days until next regeneration, volume remaining, current flow rate and totalizer (total volume used), and “tank in service indication”.
- Four methods to initiate regeneration.
- Optional double backwash feature.
- Coin Cell Lithium battery back-up with an 8 hour carry over.
System Notes:
- Tank size and color may vary based upon local requirements.
- Mineral tank color will match brine tank color.
- Systems do not have plumbing connections included. Order separately.
