Nitrate Considerations

Nitrates are a known concern in some rural areas of New Zealand, particularly where agricultural activity is present.

This system does not remove nitrates by default.

If nitrates are a concern, you can:

  • Add a dedicated nitrate filter to this system
  • Choose a more comprehensive solution like PureRevive

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

1

REMOVE

Biological & Particulate Filtration

This system focuses on the primary risks found in rural water sources:

  • Sediment filter removes dirt, rust, and particles
  • Ultra filtration removes bacteria and microorganisms
  • Carbon filtration improves taste and reduces chemicals
2

RESTORE

(Optional Mineral Balancing)

Depending on your water source (particularly rainwater) it may be a good idea to add an Alka Spring to this system to:

  • Improve taste and mouthfeel
  • Reintroduce calcium and magnesium
  • Support a more balanced, familiar mineral profile
