About the LivingWaters Nitrate Water Filter
The LivingWaters™ 5-Stage Under Sink Water Filter with Nitrate Removal Option uses the following water filtration technology:
- KDF ® 55 to remove heavy metals like lead, remove chlorine and kill bacteria
- Doulton Sterasyl ® Ceramic to remove sediment and cysts
- Carbon Block Resin (CBR) to remove bad taste, odor, and chemical contaminants
- UltraFiltration to remove the smallest contaminants, yet leave the healthy minerals in your water
- A special filter cartridge for removal of nitrates and nitrites
Specific Nitrate Filtration
The nitrate filter cartridge uses a strong base anion resin specifically designed for nitrate reduction.
This nitrate reduction cartridge is not like most other nitrate filters because it:
- Does not "Dump" nitrates at the end of its service life
- Does not prefer sulfates over nitrates
Pure and Healthy Drinking Water
Your drinking water will be
- Free of nitrites and nitrates
- Free of cysts and other pathogenic organisms
- Free of heavy metals like lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury
- Free of municipal water additives like chlorine
- Free of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and chlorination disinfection by-products (DBPs)
- Reduced calcium carbonate (lime) for less scale formation in coffee machines
- Crystal clear and great tasting
Better than Reverse Osmosis
This filter is better than reverse osmosis because it
- Leaves healthy and great tasting minerals like calcium and magnesium in your water
- Provides a continuous water supply on demand, so a bulky storage tank is not needed
- Is simpler and easier to install and maintain than reverse osmosis
- Does not waste 3-7 gallons of water to purify 1 gallon of water
- Does not require a connection to your drain pipes for waste water, which eliminates another connection that can leak and a drain line that can get blocked and spill waste water
- Uses multiple filtration media, which together provide fail-safe water purification instead of relying heavily on a single RO membrane
Easy Installation and Maintenance
- John Guest quick-connect fittings on the faucet and the premium saddle valve make installation easy
- Pressure relief button and shut-off valve make cartridge changes easy
- Easy to reset meter which shows water flow, gallons, and calendar days so you know when its time for a new filter cartridge
- Doulton Ceramic pre-filter increases the life of other filter cartridges for fewer replacements
Other Features
- Lead-free, stainless steel, long-reach spout with chrome trim.
- A wrench for housing removal, and an extra silicone "O" ring are included.
- Standard 10" open-both-ends (OBE) cartridges make the system easily upgradeable when improved filtration technology is available
- Size of system: 17 inches wide, 6 inches deep, and 15 inches tall
- Appropriate components comply with NSF Standard 42 for water aesthetics, and NSF Standard 53 for cyst removal

Replacement Cartridges
Every LivingWaters system we sell comes with a full set of cartridges.
The replacement cartridges are shown below so you can easily find them when it's time for replacement or to allow you to get a set now and save time later.
The life of the nitrate cartridge depends on the level of nitrates in your water. The cartridge will last a year for a typical family except in the most extreme cases.
The KDF/Ceramic cartridge lasts two years, but should be cleaned with a soft brush under running water after a year.
The Ster-O-Tap carbon block and UltraFiltration cartridge lasts one year.
It is very important that the cartridges be placed in the following order for optimal performance:
- Nitrate filter cartridge (first housing)
- Ceramic and KDF-55 ® cartridge (second housing)
- Carbon block and ultrafiltration cartridge (third housing)
