Nitrate is a chemical found in most fertilizers, manure, and liquid waste discharged from septic tanks. Natural bacteria in soil can convert nitrogen into nitrate. Rain or irrigation water can carry nitrate down through the soil into groundwater. Your drinking water may contain nitrate if your well draws from this groundwater. More Precisely -
Nitrate (NO3) is a compound that is formed when nitrogen combines with oxygen. The main adult intake of nitrate is from food rather than water; but sometimes high amounts of nitrate get into drinking water. Typical sources of nitrate include; fertilizers, animal wastes, particularly in areas of intensified farming, unreticulated sewage disposal systems, industrial waste and food processing waste. Nitrate is highly soluble in water, making it readily transported through the soil to groundwater.
Health Issues
High levels of nitrate can pose a risk to babies less than six months who are formula fed and the unborn foetus of pregnant women. Adults with specific rare metabolic disorders (deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase or methaemoglobin reductase) may also be at risk. It reduces the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen. In most adults and children, these red blood cells rapidly return to normal. However, in infants, it can take much longer for the blood cells to return to normal. Infants who drink water with high levels of nitrate (or eat foods made with nitrate-contaminated water) may develop a serious health condition due to the lack of oxygen. This condition is called methemoglobinemia or “blue baby syndrome.” Some scientists think diarrhea makes this problem worse.
Detecting Nitrate in Drinking Water
Testing is the only way to detect nitrate as it is tasteless, odorless and colorless.
Water Treatment for Nitrate
Nitrateis difficult to remove from water. Common household cartridge or carbon filters, boiling water and chemical treatments (e.g.chlorine) will not remove nitrate. Nano water Filter & softeners are effective for removing Nitrate. Nano water Filter & Water softeners are typically used to remove Nitrate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of blue baby syndrome?
Moderate to serious blue baby syndrome may cause brownish-blue skin tone due to lack of oxygen. This condition may be hard to detect in infants with dark skin. For infants with dark skin, look for a bluish color inside the nose and mouth, on the lips, or fingernail and toenail beds.
Mild to moderate blue baby syndrome may cause signs similar to a cold or other infection (fussy, tired, diarrhea, or vomiting). While there is a blood test to see if an infant has the blue baby syndrome, doctors may not think to do this test for babies with mild to moderate symptoms.
What should I do if my infant has blue baby syndrome?
Take a baby who has brownish-blue skin tone or bluish color to the lips, tongue, gums, nail beds, or nose to a hospital immediately. A medication called “methylene blue” will quickly return the baby’s blood to normal.
Can I prevent blue baby syndrome?
Yes. Do not give infants younger than 12 months drinking water with nitrate levels above 10 mg/L. Do not offer high-nitrate vegetables such as beets, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, spinach, and turnips until the baby is at least seven months old.
Nitrate levels in well water can vary throughout the year. If you have a private well and you’re not sure about your water quality, you may want to use bottled water to prepare your baby’s food and drinks. Although boiling water kills bacteria, it will not remove chemicals such as nitrate. In fact, boiling may actually increase the nitrate level.
Will breastfeeding give my infant blue baby syndrome?
Low levels of nitrate have been found in breast milk, but the levels are not high enough to cause the blue baby syndrome.
Can nitrate affect adults?
Although red blood cells quickly return to normal, some health conditions can make people more susceptible to health problems from nitrate. Individuals with the following health conditions should not drink water with more than 10 mg/L of nitrate:
Individuals who don’t have enough stomach acids.
Individuals with an inherited lack of the enzyme that converts affected red blood cells back to normal (methemoglobin reductase).
Women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. High nitrate levels may increase the risk of spontaneous abortion or certain birth defects.
How can I tell if my well water has nitrate?
Shallow wells, poorly sealed or poorly constructed wells, and wells that draw from shallow aquifers are at the greatest risk of nitrate contamination. Manure and septic tank waste may also contain disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
If you own a private well, we recommend that you test for coliform bacteria and nitrate every year. Your county health department can tell you where you can get your water tested and may have specific recommendations for testing. Many certified labs in Washington charge $25 to $50 per test. If your nitrate test results are 5 mg/L or higher, you may want to re-sample in six months.
Where can I get more information?
If you get your water from a public water system, call your water utility or the state Department of Health at (800) 521-0323.
If you have a private well, call your local health department. You can also find information in "Private Wells.

How do Self Cleaning Water Filter & Purifiers Work in USA?
- Filter Operate Opposite of anything else. Water goes first into the filter around the 0.8-1.0 micron or less can penetrate through the ultra-thin microwire.
- The stainless steel shell of the cartridge is covered in nanosilver particles for water disinfection. The natural way!
- On the shell of the filter cartridge is a special stainless steel spiral microwire that is wounded around the frame multiple times.
- The stainless steel spiral microwire is thinner than human hair. The distance between the microwire pores is 0.2-0.3 microns.
- The self auto oscillations in the spiral micro-wire arise from hydrodynamic processes in a turbulent vortex flow.
- Water that enters the filter under pressure passes through between the spiral microwire pores and impurities don't pass and get finished out by the drain valve.
- Due to the vortex vibration of the spiral microwire impurities cannot stick to the filter element and drop down vertically for flushing.
- Once pure water passes into the filter cartridge it passes a multipolar magnetic unit that is mixed with amber and rhinestone crystals for structured H302 live water with perfect balanced pH.
- Impurities accumulate at the bottom of the flask. Flushing of the filter can be done manually or with an electric auto flushing device.
