Ion exchange and reverse osmosis (RO) have been proven to effectively remove nitrates from water down to safe drinking levels. Ion exchange is selective so, only the nitrates are removed while other ions pass through the system. Removal efficiencies of 95-99% are possible with ion exchange. Reverse osmosis will also provide similar removal efficiencies but will remove other ions in the water along with the nitrates.
