Detailed Installation Instructions 5-Year Control Head Warranty 10-Year Tank Warranty Product Description Nitrates are common in rural areas and originate from fertilizers; septic systems; & animal manure. The most common problem of nitrates is methemoglobinemia; or "blue baby" syndrome. Methemoglobinemia is occurs when the body converts nitrates in the into nitrites; and elevated nitrite levels result in a decrease in the oxygen carrying abilities of the blood; depriving the body of needed oxygen. In most cases the average adult is able to process the nitrates correctly; however; some individuals; infants and pregnant women in particular; are susceptible to methemoglobinemia; and exposure to nitrates can result in long term damage. To elimiate this problem; nitrate/nitrite filters use a specialize ion exchange resin that targets the ions of nitrates and nitrites specifically; exchanging them for harmless sodium ions. This provides safe drinking and ensures peace of mind; particularly in homes with small children. To keep costs down; most people use a system that combines nitrate/nitrite specific resin with standard softening resin. These combo systems provide all the benefits of a nitrate/nitrite filter with the softening abil
