Your Water Might Look Clean—But Is It Safe?

Nitrate Water Contamination

A Hidden Risk for Families

Nitrates are a common agricultural pollutant that can silently enter your water supply. At A Clear Alternative, we help New Jersey homeowners detect and remove nitrates before they impact your health.

What Are Nitrates?

Nitrates are naturally occurring compounds commonly found in fertilizers, animal waste, and septic systems. While they’re essential in agriculture, they can be harmful when they end up in your drinking water—especially for infants and pregnant women.

⚠️ Why are Nitrates a Problem

  • Risk of blue baby syndrome in infants

  • May cause oxygen deprivation in the blood

  • Linked to certain cancers and thyroid issues

  • Often undetected in taste, smell, or color

🔍 Common Sources of Nitrates

  • Runoff from farms and fertilizer use

  • Leaking septic tanks

  • Erosion of natural deposits

  • Private wells in rural or agricultural areas

💡 Ideal Solutions from A Clear Alternative

  • Reverse Osmosis System for effective nitrate removal

  • Dedicated Nitrate Removal Units for high-concentration areas

  • Free water testing to assess nitrate levels in your supply

Still Have Questions About Your Water?

We’re here to help you make the right choice for your home.

Whether you're curious about how our systems work, what’s in your water, or what happens after installation—we’ve got answers to the most common questions our customers ask.

How do I know if I need a water treatment system?

If you notice odd tastes, odors, stains, or cloudy water—or just want peace of mind—it's worth testing your water. We offer free water testing to identify the best solution.

What types of contaminants can your systems remove?

Our systems are designed to reduce or eliminate chlorine, hardness, iron, bacteria, PFAS, nitrates, and more.

Do I need a whole-home system or just drinking water filtration?

That depends on your needs. We offer both whole-home solutions and point-of-use options like reverse osmosis.

Is installation included, and how long does it take?

Yes! Professional installation is included. Most systems can be installed in just a few hours.

What maintenance is required?

We design our systems to be low-maintenance, and we offer service plans so you don’t have to worry about upkeep.

What’s the difference between softening and filtration?

Softening removes minerals that cause hardness and scale (like calcium and magnesium), while filtration targets contaminants like chlorine, sediment, iron, and VOCs. Many homes use a combination of both. See our residential solutions.

Is my water safe to drink?

Municipal water is treated, but often still contains chlorine, byproducts, or trace contaminants like PFAS. Well water is unregulated and varies by region. Best way to be 100% sure you're drinking safe, clean water is to get a water test done and have proper filtration system in place.
