US Water Systems Matrixx Nitrate Removal System Review
Expert Score

Nitrate is a narrow problem with a narrow solution, and this is it. It matters mainly for wells near agricultural land, where fertiliser runoff pushes nitrate above the 10 mg/L limit, and it matters most in households with infants, for whom elevated nitrate is a documented risk rather than a theoretical one. Nothing else in this catalogue addresses it: carbon does not remove nitrate, standard softening resin does not either, and only whole-house RO offers an alternative at several times the price. Nitrate-selective resin is the proportionate answer. Buy it on the strength of a laboratory nitrate result, not a hunch, and be aware that a nitrate system does not soften, so hardness needs separate treatment.

PROS
  • Nitrate-selective resin, which standard softening resin cannot replicate
  • Far cheaper than whole-house RO for nitrate specifically
  • Matrixx smart valve with smartphone programming
  • Two capacity configurations
  • Addresses a contaminant nothing else in the range treats
CONS
  • Single-purpose: does not soften or remove chlorine
  • Requires a laboratory nitrate result to justify
  • Salt regeneration with the associated handling and drain requirement
  • No system certification stated
  • Featured image is a PNG and may carry transparency

Nitrate-selective anion exchange on the Matrixx smart valve platform, with smartphone programming. Targets nitrate and nitrite specifically, which conventional softening resin does not address and which carbon filtration does not touch at all.

Social Scores

Social Score

Brand-level signal only. US Water Systems sells direct and is not carried on Amazon, and no individual system in this range has a third-party review pool of its own. The on-site star ratings are the manufacturer's own widget and are excluded. Scores below describe the company, not the specific product.

Reddit Score7.0

Brand-level. r/WaterTreatment and r/Plumbing threads discuss US Water Systems regularly and skew positive, with the recurring verdict that pricing runs above mass-market competitors but the phone support is knowledgeable and the equipment solves the problem. Owners of the Matrixx report it working well after self-installation. One thread notes the company's public star ratings are weaker than its forum reputation, and sizing advice in these threads frequently disputes the flow-rate figures marketed for a given tank diameter.

User Review Score8.0

Brand-level. Trustpilot rates the company 4.2 out of 5 across its review base, which converts to roughly 8. Positive reviews cluster on technical support and on systems resolving iron, sulfur and hardness complaints. Negative reviews cluster on shipping speed, refund processing, and a small number of leak reports on tank-type units. Yelp carries a smaller and more mixed pool with the same leak theme.
