De-Nitrate is an economical, natural, and porous material with a pore distribution and shape that enhances both aerobic nitrification in the first millimeters of depth and anaerobic nitrification at the center. The material has a high surface area and supports a high density of bacteria. Although De-Nitrate has the ability to retain nitrates, this capacity, like other nitrate-retaining materials such as some zeolites and synthetic resins, is very limited, and the primary mechanism for nitrate removal is anaerobic.

Main Features:

• Removes nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, and organic matter
• Highly porous biological media
• Pore size perfectly suited for anaerobic bacteria
• No risk of hydrogen sulfide production as with sulfur-based media

Instructions:
For best results, De-Nitrate should be placed to ensure water flows through it, such as in a canister filter, chemical filtration unit, or box filter. The flow rate should not exceed 200 liters (50 US gallons) per hour.
