Filter for the removal of nitrates FD10

Product detailed description

Nitrate Filter FD10 consists of a wall mount, an outer tube, a cartridge tube, and a special filling of Purolite A520E for the removal of nitrates from water. Purolite A520E is a macroporous strong anion resin specifically designed for removing nitrates from water for drinking water treatment, even in cases where medium to high concentrations of nitrates are present. The filter operates on the principle of ion exchange, converting nitrate ions to chloride ions.

This simple nitrate removal filter is flow-through, thus requiring no special maintenance. The filling just needs regular regeneration with a salt solution or, if necessary, replaced with a new one.

The filter is designed for installation under the kitchen sink with a connection to cold water. A separate water tap is required. Due to the low flow rate, the filter is not suitable for central water treatment.

The product is certified and intended for contact with drinking water.

Regeneration of the nitrate filter filling for filter FD 10

1. Close the water supply to the filter, release the pressure from the faucet for treated water, and unscrew and remove the filter tube with the nitrate filling.
2.  Pour out the water from the tube and let the inner tube drain.
3. Pour 1 liter of saturated salt solution (100% brine = a maximum of 0.16 kg of salt dissolves in 1 liter of water) into the filter tube or some container, and place the inner tube with the filter filling into the salt solution or filter tube for about 30 - 60 minutes.
4.  Insert the filter tube back into the filter container, tighten it, open the water supply, and let approximately 2 - 5 liters of water flow out to wash away the salt until the water is no longer salty, after which you can use the treated water again.
