    No3:po4-x is a product that claims to remove no3 and po4. Are you trying to remove the product no3:po4-x, or no3 and po4? Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) will remove no3 and po4, but not directly, it will remove the sources before they decompose into no3 and po4. The product no3:po4-x sounds to just be expensive GAC from the product description. If so, I don't think other GAC (chemi-pure is another GAC based product) will likely remove it.

    It's a carbon dosing methodology. Treat it like vodka.
