Hiya,
I have high nitrates in my tap water, at least 40ppm. I’ve bulked my tank up on nitrate eating stuff to try and help combat this - loads of plants, pothos, fancy filter media, serums and potions from the LFS.
But nothing has really helped. I’ve considered buying RO water but was scared about remixing in minerals etc. The general consensus I got from asking around was that water with high nitrates is safer than a water with no nitrate but constantly fluctuating pH, minerals etc.
Then I stumbled across this gizmo, which apparently gets rid of just the nitrate in your tap water. Has anyone used them? They sound a bit too good to be true and at £40 with shipping I don’t want to waste my money on a gimmick.
What are peoples experiences with nitrate filters? Are they easy enough to use? Do they dramatically reduce the nitrate in your tap water?

Pozzani No10 Aquarium Nitrate Reduction Filter System
Nitrates are present in most tap water to some degree, mainly derived from pesticides and decaying organic matter. This filter is intended for tank filling only. It is not intended to be used as a circulating filter. The replacement cartridges for this system are the NR600 cartridges which can...
