    Coil denitrator didn't work for me. Built two of them (slightly different designs). Waited months for results and never saw any.

    So I built a sulfur denitrator - works awesome. Cycled in 3 days (yes, I said 3 days) and starting reducing nitrates immediately thereafter.

    Within 3 weeks - zero nitrates.
