NUTRIENT REDUCTION

During the Performance Evaluation of the system, composite samples were collected once per week during the 6 month test period for both the Hoot and the Hoot-BNR system. Although Nutrient reduction is not part of the ANSI/NSF Standard 40 evaluation, Nutrients are becoming of more concern in many parts of the country. The Hoot-BNR System was sampled for Nitrate, Nitrite, TKN, and Phosphorus. The results below are the averages for all of these parameters.
