Nitrites in our town water?

hi guys,
just shifted all the tanks and we've been having a few problems with our water,anyway today we tested the water strait out of the tap and too our horror nitrites were very very high.Would anyway know any way of curing our water before putting it into tanks? We obviously can't afford distillers etc so any home made remedies?


Thanks

i use prime as my water conditioner it dropped my nitrates and my nitrites. from what ive read it reacts with harmful products in the water instantly. Its made by seachem.

Ok, partly fixed.

We went and told the local council and because we had water tests and things to back our complaint . They sent out the water facility people strait away to test the water.It's affecting our street only in our area but however the levels of nitrites are so high that they are toxic already. We are getting a kg of purigen in the next few weeks so looks like we will be fine

Thanks for help guys

Hello

I also was having problems with my city water but with nitrates.

I now use 2 big trash cans (rubbermaid) to hold water.(Do not use hard/rigid plastic cans)
I allow the water to age a day or two.(rain water can also be collected but also must be tested for bad ingredents ~ This will most likely be softer water than your tap also)

I Put bubblers,a small pump,salt,and store brand chemical water treatments in the water cans.
At first I test alot to make sure I was removing most the nitrate/nitrites/ammo..

My fish room is in my basement with multiple tanks.
I use a 4 wheel dolly/cart to roll the cans to the tanks.(not seen in pics)
Then I use the small pond size pumps with a short hose (6ft) to pump water from cans to tanks. ( no buckets ! no back pain... )

I still use 5 gallon buckets to rinse out filters with tank water.
