It uses a single replaceable cartridge with seven stages of filtration, including nitrate-selective resin, one-micron filter pads, Eagle Redox Alloy 6500 and 9500 media, ion exchange resin, and granular activated carbon. The nitrate-selective resin is listed for 90% to 95% nitrate reduction, with capacity depending on influent nitrate levels. This cartridge can be regenerated using sodium chloride brine, with regeneration needs varying by influent nitrate levels and use. With a listed 0.3–0.5 GPM flow rate, this countertop nitrate water filter is suitable for drinking water use in homes, apartments, offices, and spaces where countertop faucet-connected filtration is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-Cartridge Nitrate + SMART Filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Crystal Quest system combines nitrate-selective resin with SMART filtration media inside one countertop cartridge.
