UPDATE: Nitrate Removal from Water
Nitrate Water Filters utilize white bead anion resin to remove nitrates from water. In most cases, it’s practical that the levels of Nitrate should not exceed 10 mg/L. When calculating capacity, to determine which type of Nitrate Water Filters is needed, competing ions should be accounted for.
A Technical Data Sheet
The EPA limit on nitrates in potable water supplies is 10 ppm as N, or 44.3 ppm as NO3, or 35.7 ppm as aCO3.
When operated in the chloride cycle (sodium chloride regeneration), the resin will not exchange for CO2 or silica. Recommended service flow rate is 3 to 5 gpm/cu.ft.
While the Whirlpool 149010 Water Filter is well known to remove the bad taste of water, some may notice that there’s no specific reason why one shall stick with the original WHCF-WHWC replacement filter, when this can be substituted with other Whirlpool WHCF-WHWC compatiable water filter catridges.

Can you tell me which replacement filters will work?
We are looking to buy a whole house filter system.
I have high Nitrates.
What harm can Nitrates do?
What kind of system do I need to filter out Nitrates?
I am serviced by a well that produces 12 GPM at 50 PSI. My house is 2500 sq. feet.
Initial reply: We need the water analysis before providing a suggestion.
A local water technician might be your best choice.
The reason I contacted you to ask what kind of filter will filter out nitrates is because you advertise the sale of water filters.

Last December I ordered 3 water filters for a Big Blue filter.
The number was 155121 PP30-BB
The sizes are 4 1/2″ x 10″ it’s 30 micron – Pleated Polypropylene.
This filter no longer appears on the list of options. Is there a different number that replaces this filter.
Also, I would like to try a smaller micron filter (10 micron?) – what filter would work?
Thank you.
As you stated, the 30 micron PP30-BB is no longer available.
However you may wish to consider the R30-BB which is!

We are interested in information on the countertop carbon water filter.
Some of the parts that were sent do not seem clear where they should be attached.
How long is the life of one of the carbon filters?
Recently we purchased a home that has an Amtrol Reverse Osmosis system installed under the kitchen sink.
I would like to know how/where to buy replacement filters.
The model on the large canister is 11226097.
Other numbers are RO 4, CLI ORO TI 33.
First, you don’t have an Amtrol Reverse Osmosis system.
KX Technologies holds many patents and trademarks in custom water filtration technologies and systems. According the Kx technologies, formerly known as Kx Industries, below are some of their innovations in the filtration technology:
First to provide extruded activated carbon block filters, First to present miniature ”critical health claim” faucet mount and refrigerator cup water filter. They were first to introduce PLEKx water filtration. Kx Technologies came up with the first refrigerator cassette water filter and first installed refrigerator air/odor filter and many more.
The company was formed in 1989 originally as a LP (Limited Partnership) between Exxon Chemical Corp. and KT Corp. Marmon Water LLC acquired the assets of KX Industries LP in ’07, with the business going forward as KX Technologies LLC.
The MATRIKX water filter Line of Carbon Water Filters are a great deal for much less than many different brands.
A water softener is a fantastic piece of water treatment equipment. If it’s Properly applied, water softeners would remove hardness yielding brighter clothes, remarkeable soap savings, softer hair and skin, etc.
But in many applications, standard water softeners will remove small amounts of Iron. Unfortunately, certain characteristics of the treated water may allow iron to pass right through a water softener staining many fixtures in the home.

Question: I am interested in purchasing a TGI-WIN-445 Reverse Osmsis Water Filter System.
Before I order this system, I need to know the Physical dimensional data for the filter arrangement & the 4 gallon pressure/storage tank as the space available below the kitchen sink is limited.
We are pleased to announce that the manufacturer of WaterWise Distillers has changed from the old plastic bottle collectors due to popular demand. The Model 4000 now comes with a glass collector bottle instead of a plastic one.

We are currently using the model CP5-BB water cartridge and find that we need to replace it every two weeks in order to maintain a minimal water pressure.
I viewed all of the filters that are available for the 4 1/2”x10” “Big Blue” and I was wondering which one might offer us a greater amount of time between changes.
FYI, in addition to the “Big Blue” we also have an ultraviolet water purification system and constantly providing excellent quality and innovation. are therefore not so much concerned about bacteria as much as the silt and sediment problem that we are experiencing. Thank you for your anticipated assistance in this matter.
CP5 series from Pentek has been modified to a newer model. It is now the ECP5-BB filter instead.

Standard Carbon filters also fit into the 10 inch filters, such as the GAC-10 155109

Sediment filters are such as the PD-10-934 155750
PD-10-934 155750
subject: A true 1 micron filter.
Comments: I would like to know if a pleated sediment filter is a true one micron filter and is it rated to remove cysts?
I have found that there are great differances in 1 micron filters and am looking for one to
remove sediment as small as 1 micron on initial installation.
Some are only one micron after the filter gets saturated with a given amount of sediment.
It depends what you want removed from the water.
If it’s sediment, it will do. If it’s cysts, it will not.
Pleated Cellulose-Polyester; Polypropylene; etc. are Sediment filters.
For cysts, a carbon type filter is needed.
Thanks for helping me with the GE smartwater gxrv10abl01 replacements.:
The faucet in that system has a long neck.
I need one and I can’t find it on the GE site, but GE sells one like that w/ the
next system up.
Can you show me with one or where to get it???
It needs to have an integral air-gap.
Again, thanks in advance

People might sometimes get confused on what is Total chlorine, and what is Free chlorine. Here are some details that might be of help.
The chlorine that is free and available does the vital work of killing bacteria and removing contaminants. When free chlorine comes in contact with contaminants, such as soap, ammonia, or other organic compounds that contain nitrogen, it’s called combined chlorine, or as others call it: chloramines. In water of pools and spas, this type of chlorine has very little ability to sanitize, and also has no oxidizing ability. You may think of combined chlorine as a spent bullet.
subject: replacement filter for w38-praComments: we could not find a replacement filter for
w38-praplease reply with further details.
Any 10 inch Standard cartridge would fit.
Approximate dimension: 2-1/2” x 9-3/4”
For sediment removal the most common filter is: # 155014 P5
For Drinking Water the most common is: 155155 CC-10 or 155162 CBC-10
American Plumber is owned by the Pentair. Same ownership of Ametek (former brand), Plymouth, Culligan, USFilter amongst other brands.
Hope this helps.
Reverse osmosis (RO) has become a common home water treatment method for drinking water that might be contaminated.
The method of purifying water by reverse osmosis is used by many people these days, to simply purify their water and remove salts and impurities which would result in improving the taste and odor of the fluid. Reverse Osmosis rejects bacteria, proteins, sugars, particles, and dyes that have a molecular weight of more than 150 to 250 Dalton.

The OGWDW (which stands for Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water), with its many partners, ensure that americans all over the land have safe drinking water and protected ground water.
OGWDW, along with the EPA’s 10 regional drinking water programs, oversees and ensures implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act, which is the national law safeguarding tap water in America.
These days, drinking water suppliers provide consumer confidence reports that describe where the drinking water comes from, and what contaminants may be found it the water. You can read the water quality report online, or you may contact the water supplier to get a copy.
By July First of each year, consumers should receive a consumer confidence report, or drinking water quality report from the local water supplier.
I have a GE smartwater gxrv10abl01 water filtering system. I see the 155268
CBR2-10 listed as a replacment filter, but only as the POST filter, not the PRE filter. Why?
GE states that it’s filter, the fxp12 is used as BOTH the pre and post filters.
Can I use this 155268 CBR2-10 as BOTH filters??
Is there any (dis)advantages???
