Water filters certified to remove Nitrite
Same infant methemoglobinemia risk as nitrate but more potent; MCL 1 mg/L as N.
"Certified" means the model is listed in the NSF, WQA, or IAPMO public database as reducing Nitrite — not just "tested to" a standard.
Pick the path that fits you
You can start cheap with a no-install filter, or solve it permanently with an installed system that costs far less per gallon over time. Both options below are certified to reduce Nitrite.
