The Matrixx Nitrate Removal System utilizes professional grade components and high efficiency resin to ensure that your water stays nitrate free for years. This system utilizes salt to regenerate the resin, so while it looks like a water softener it doesn’t serve as one. If you have water that has a hardness of 5 gpg then you will still need a water softener.

Benefits of Nitrate Removal

Consuming too much nitrate can affect how blood carries oxygen and can cause methemoglobinemia (also known as blue baby syndrome). Bottle-fed babies under six months old are at the highest risk of getting methemoglobinemia. Methemoglobinemia can cause skin to turn a bluish color and can result in serious illness or death. Other symptoms connected to methemoglobinemia include decreased blood pressure, increased heart rate, headaches, stomach cramps, and vomiting.

Only recently has scientific evidence emerged to assess the health impacts of drinking water with high nitrate consumption in adults. A growing body of literature indicates potential associations between nitrate/nitrite exposure and other health effects such as increased heart rate, nausea, headaches, and abdominal cramps. Some studies also suggest an increased risk of cancer, especially gastric cancer, associated with dietary nitrate/nitrite exposure, but there is not yet scientific consensus on this question.
