Benefits
Description
WODARO Nitrate Care 60L is a nitrate removal system equipped with 60 litres of selective ion exchange resin and a BNT control valve. Its 1.5 m³/h capacity makes it suitable for installations requiring water treatment at a flow rate of up to 25 l/min. The model has a 12 × 52″ pressure vessel and a separate 100-litre brine tank.
WODARO Nitrate Care 60L - filter for water with elevated nitrate levels
The WODARO Nitrate Care 60L system is designed for installations where water testing indicates a need to reduce nitrate levels. It is a specialist treatment stage selected according to the water composition, required flow rate and feed installation parameters.
Nitrates can enter water, for example, through the use of nitrogen fertilisers. Where these compounds are the problem, an ion exchange resin designed to remove them is the solution. WODARO Nitrate Care 60L uses this type of media in a separate filtration column.
Nitrates and nitrites are different compounds. WODARO Nitrate Care 60L removes nitrates. The unit is not designed to remove nitrites. Before selecting the system, check which parameter the water test result concerns.
Main advantages of the model
- Selective ion exchange resin - media designed to remove nitrates from water flowing through it.
- 60 litres of media - the amount used in this model, with a rated capacity of 1.5 m³/h.
- Regeneration with a salt solution - restores the resin's working capacity so it can continue to be used.
- BNT control valve - fitted to the WODARO Nitrate Care 60L model.
- Separate 100 l brine tank - a component of the media regeneration system.
How does nitrate removal work?
Water flows through a column filled with selective resin. During ion exchange, the media retains nitrates, reducing their concentration in the treated water. The resin has a defined working capacity and therefore requires periodic regeneration with a sodium chloride solution, or brine.
The system can form part of a larger water treatment installation, for example after iron removal and softening. The need for these stages should be determined from water test results.
Equipment and installation space
WODARO Nitrate Care 60L comprises a filtration column with 60 litres of ion exchange resin, a BNT control valve and a 100-litre brine tank. The connection diameter is 1″.
When planning the installation, allow space for two tanks. The filter vessel is 315 mm in diameter and 1338 mm high, while the brine tank is 382 mm in diameter and 880 mm high. The vessel height excludes the control valve – its height must also be allowed for in the installation space.
The unit operates at a pressure of 2–6 bar and a water temperature of 2–30°C. During selection, also check the feed pump's capacity and head to ensure they meet the system's requirements.
Operation and resin regeneration
Operation relies on periodic regeneration of the media with brine and ensuring a supply of salt for this process. Regeneration settings should be selected during commissioning in accordance with the unit's documentation and the treated water parameters.
The stated resin service life is up to 10 years, subject to periodic regeneration. This is the stated durability of the media, rather than a guaranteed replacement interval. Checking the filtered water parameters allows system performance to be assessed during use.

FAQ
Does WODARO Nitrate Care 60L also remove nitrites?
No. The unit is designed to remove nitrates. If testing has shown elevated nitrite levels, a separate solution must be selected.
Does this system replace a water softener or iron removal filter?
This model should not be selected to remove hardness or iron. Its purpose is to reduce nitrates. If the water also requires iron removal or softening, the system can serve as a further treatment stage.
Is a 1.5 m³/h capacity sufficient for my installation?
Selection requires comparing system capacity with peak water demand, as well as checking water test results and pump parameters. The number of users alone is insufficient to confirm the right model.
How often does the media need regeneration?
Settings should be matched to operating conditions, including nitrate concentration and the volume of water treated, in accordance with the unit's documentation.
Is 1338 mm the overall height of the system?
No. This is the height of the vessel alone. The control valve sits above it, so the unit's overall height is greater. Space must also be provided beside the column for the brine tank.
