SECTION I. INTRODUCTION 

 

Congratulations, you have just purchased one of 
the finest Point-of-Use Nitrate Reduction 
Appliances available.   

 

Like any other fine product, this appliance requires 
periodic maintenance in accordance with the 
schedule outlined.  Have your water checked 
periodically to verify nitrate reduction. 

 

Your new Nitrate Reduction (NRS-1) Drinking 
Water system uses a non-leaching material to 
reduce unwanted nitrates in a water supply. 

 

 

LIABLITY 

 

All information and recommendations appearing in this manual 
concerning the use of products described herein are based on 
information contained in good faith but makes no representation as to its 
comprehensiveness or accuracy. However, it is 

the user’s res

ponsibility to 

determine the suitability for his own use of such products. Since the actual 
use by others is beyond our control, no guarantee, expressed or implied, is 
made by Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (FECI) as to the effects of such use or 
the results to be obtained. FECI assumes no liability arising out of the use 
by others of such products. Nor is the information herein to be construed 
as absolutely complete, since additional information may be necessary or 
desirable when particular or exceptional conditions or circumstances exist

NOTE: The NRS-1 may be installed on waters containing nitrate; however the total nitrate concentration of the incoming water 
supply should be less than 21.0 ppm.  Water containing nitrate concentration greater than 20.0 ppm will greatly reduce the 
cartridge capacity and leave potential for harmful levels of nitrate bleed through.  Have your water checked periodically to 
avoid harmful levels of nitrate bleed through.
