Ok so I've had high Nitrates for last 6 months and can't get them to lower at all. I originally had well water and was using conditioners for the first 4-5 months. Someone said they used spring water from the store so i tried that for 2 months and still nothing. I finally broke down and bought a Ro/Di 5 stage system 3-4 weeks ago, and since i started the system I've changed 10-15% of the water and top it off when needed. Originally 6 months ago i thought i was feeding to much so i cut that down a lot. I've bought a couple cleaner packages in the last 9 months and they don't seem to help. I clean the sponge 3 times a month. I don't know what else to do to lower it. If anybody knows a secret I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
