WODARO Nitrate Care 160 L: automatic nitrate removal with 160 l of selective ion-exchange resin, regenerated with brine. Flow: 3.3 m³/h. Removes nitrates, not nitrites.
Benefits
Description
WODARO Nitrate Care 160L is a nitrate removal system equipped with 160 l of selective ion exchange resin, a BNT 7650 control valve and a 200 l brine tank. Its capacity is 3.3 m³/h. The unit reduces nitrate levels as one stage of water treatment.
WODARO Nitrate Care 160L – filter for water containing nitrates
This model is designed for installations requiring nitrate removal by ion exchange. It can form part of a well water treatment system if water testing confirms this problem. System selection should consider the water composition, required flow rate and feed pump parameters.
WODARO Nitrate Care 160L uses a vessel measuring 18 × 65 inches and a control valve BNT 7650. This model has a separate 200-litre tank for the brine used during media regeneration.
Key benefits
- Selective nitrate removal – the ion exchange media is designed to address a specific water problem.
- Rated capacity of 3.3 m³/h – allows this model to be considered for an installation with that flow demand.
- Regenerable media – periodic regeneration with a salt solution allows the resin to remain in use.
- Suitable for a multi-stage treatment system – the system can be installed after earlier stages such as iron removal and softening, depending on water parameters.
How does nitrate removal work?
Water flows through a column filled with selective ion exchange resin. The media retains nitrates during ion exchange. Once its working capacity has been exhausted, regeneration is required using a sodium chloride solution, or brine.
The system performs a specific role in the installation: it removes nitrates. Other treatment stages should be selected for the other parameters identified by water testing.
Nitrates and nitrites are different compounds. WODARO Nitrate Care 160L is designed to remove nitrates. The unit does not remove nitrites.
Equipment and operation
The basic unit components specified in the datasheet are:
- an 18 × 65 inch vessel containing 160 l of ion exchange resin,
- a BNT 7650 control valve,
- a 200 l salt and brine tank.
Operation requires periodic resin regeneration and replenishing the salt needed for this process. The manufacturer states a resin service life of up to 10 years, noting the need for regular regeneration.
What should you check before installation?
The system operates at a pressure of 2–6 bar and a water temperature of 2–30°C. The connection diameter is 1 inch. During selection, consider the feed pump's capacity and head to ensure they meet the unit's needs.
The installation location must provide space for the filtration column and a separate brine tank. The vessel alone measures 495 × 1722 mm, and the brine tank measures 585 × 1040 mm.
The height of 1722 mm refers to the vessel alone. When planning the space, also allow for the control valve and access to maintain the unit.

FAQ
Is WODARO Nitrate Care 160L suitable for removing nitrates from well water?
It can be used in such a system if selection is supported by water test results and installation requirements. Before purchase, also check pump parameters and the need for pretreatment, such as iron removal or softening.
Does this system replace a softener and iron removal filter?
No. WODARO Nitrate Care 160L is designed to remove nitrates. If the water also requires hardness reduction or iron removal, appropriate treatment stages must be provided.
Does the unit need salt to operate?
Yes. The resin requires periodic regeneration with brine. WODARO Nitrate Care 160L is equipped with a 200 l salt and brine tank.
Does the 3.3 m³/h capacity indicate the volume of water between regenerations?
No. This is the stated water flow rate through the unit.
