Where Nitrates Come From
Nitrates often make their way into water from:
- Fertilizer runoff and agricultural waste
- Leaking septic systems
- Animal manure or decomposing organic material
- Contaminated groundwater near farmlands or pastures
Municipal systems monitor nitrate levels, but private well owners are responsible for their own testing and treatment.
How We Remove Nitrates
ClearWave uses [reverse osmosis systems] to reduce nitrate levels at the point of use—typically under the kitchen sink. These systems also remove other contaminants like:
- Arsenic
- Fluoride
- Lead
- PFAS
For families needing broader protection, we offer multi-stage or whole-house filtration solutions based on your test results.
