Nitrates in water is a topic of concern in many communities, especially in agricultural areas where the use of nitrogen-rich fertilizers is prevalent. Nitrates are a form of nitrogen that can find its way into drinking water through various sources such as runoff from agricultural fields or septic systems. While some amount of nitrates in water is natural, excessive levels can pose health risks, particularly for infants and pregnant women. High nitrate levels in drinking water have been associated with Methemoglobinemia, also known as "blue baby syndrome," which can lead to oxygen deprivation in infants.

 

Treating nitrate levels in water is crucial to ensure its safety for consumption. Therefore, it is crucial to do a water test with a state certified lab to determine if your water is safe to drink.  Rest assured, like most water issues, NH Well Services have implement effective filtration systems to ensure the safety and quality of our water.
