nitrites in water are nitrite ions NO2−, which are an intermediate form of nitrogen transformations between ammonium and nitrates.

What does nitrites in water mean in practice?

Their presence may indicate fresh contamination or an unstable nitrification process in the source or installation.

When does it matter?

Nitrite is interpreted together with ammonium, nitrate and microbiological results because a single result alone does not explain the source.

Which solutions are related to it?

Full testing, root cause removal, and technology validated for a specific water composition are needed, often including RO.
