matrix does zero for nitrates.....most canisters flow is too high!!! it is all marketing BS!

Matrix does NOT adsorb nitrate. It does a minor processing of nitrate to CO2 and nitrogen gas. The amount it is able to process is minimal. Any highly porous ceramic media does the same thing. The problem is, it processes such a small amount of nitrate that is is pretty much useless and should not be a reason to buy it. Read this information.
