Removal methods in the reference list: reverse osmosis, anion exchange. A method name is not a product certification.
Not enough groundwater samples in the region to estimate Nitrite (as N) in private wells. A lab test is the only way to know.
Numbers are the system's samples at its taps and wells, not yours. Lead and copper are 90th percentiles from sampled homes. Well pages are nearby-sample estimates. Health text restates EPA and DEQ. Methodology.
