A tap water filter will do squat for Nitrates,Please invest in a RO/DI system.

www.airicewater.com or www.thefilterguys.biz

Lots of info on their websites and very helpful over the phone. Another option would be to get RO/DI water from a local fish store. Should only a few bucks for 5 gallons.

I got a 100 gpd Water General RO/DI unit on ebay for $150 shipped with a float valve and pressure gauge. Its been a great unit so far. The only thing I would of done different was to go with the 75 gpd cause it produces less waste water per gallon of good water. HTH

You can find cheap units on eBay.
I've had my Typhoon III from AirWaterIce.com for 5 years. I replaced the membrane this year because I wanted the 150gpd membrane (higher rejection rate). I like the clear cannisters so I can visually see when it's time to replace the sediment filter, and it has a membrane flush built in.

I also have the typhoon 3. Just an FYI, the 150gpd has a lower rejection rate. In other words more water passes through the membrane while less gets rejected.

You make water faster but more solids pass through the more permeable membrane so your di resin will need to be replaced more frequently.
