Alkanatur Drops and ClearDrops pitcher filters comply with the UNE 149101 Standard, as analyzed by the prestigious Oliver Rodés laboratory.*
This analysis demonstrates how Alkanatur Drops filters significantly reduce the presence of specific substances in tap water, including antimony, arsenic, benzene, copper, nitrate, nitrite, various pesticides, lead, selenium, trihalomethanes, aluminum, ammonium, chlorine, iron, and others.
Purification. All filters remove up to 99% of toxic substances from water, such as chlorine, heavy metals, nitrites, trihalomethanes, microplastics, and others. However, the zeolite filter has a higher absorption rate of heavy metals.
All filters are environmentally friendly and free of ion exchange resins and other added artificial chemicals, thus respecting the natural minerals in the water.
The materials of every filters are common, from the plastic, certified by Dr. Nicolás Olea (IBS of Granada) as being 100% free of endocrine disruptors, to the interior of the filter and its patented Alkamicronized Selective® bioceramic.
The zeolite (gray) filter has greater absorption of heavy metals.
If your home's water contains high levels of heavy metals, if your pipes are very old, or if you prefer greater absorption, we recommend using the gray zeolite filter.
The conventional filter (white) and the zeolite filter (grey) provide 18 mg/L of magnesium, thus providing greater antioxidant capacity compared to the low magnesium emission filter.
In hard water areas, the taste of the low-magnesium filter is milder on the palate, unlike the conventional and zeolite filters, which, due to their higher magnesium content, have a stronger aftertaste.
However, in soft water areas, the gray zeolite filter has a fresher taste than the conventional filter.
In hard water areas, it's normal for mineral residues to appear in the pitcher, especially calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
With low-magnesium filters, the mineral residue is less than with conventional or zeolite filters.
To keep the plastic clean, the ideal solution, along with cleaning the pitcher weekly, is vinegar. That is, remove the filter and pour warm water and a good splash of vinegar into the transparent part. Let it soften for a couple of hours or even overnight, then rinse and scrub as usual the next day with soap and a sponge.
With our Alkamicronized Selective® technology, analysed by ICG (Ceramics Institute of Galicia), we are able to filter 400 litres of water up to 99% free of chlorine, fluoride, pesticides, nitrites, heavy metals such as lead or mercury, trihalomethanes, among others.
Our filters use coconut activated carbon, a totally natural product obtained from the shell of this fruit. As a plant-based product, it contains no heavy metals or chemical compounds and therefore does not add calcium or sodium. It does however add 100% bioavailable premium quality magnesium.
Ion-exchange resins are synthetic, petroleum-drived gel spheres (benzene and styrene) that exchange specific ions for other ions.
Most conventional jugs contain ion-exchange resins in their filters.
These brands, many of them multinationals, defend the use of this type of chemical elements in their filters by claiming that their toxicity does not migrate into the water. However, we challenge this claim. Water is the universal solvent, and it is very easy for any element to migrate into the water. Similarly, microplastics can migrate from bottled water containers or from unsafe containers that are not certified as toxin-free plastic.
Our filters stand out from the competition because of their quality, their scientific certificates and guarantees and because they are 100% environmentally-friendly and free of toxic substances.
Alkanatur adds 18 mg/L of top quality 100% bioavailable magnesium.
Have you ever wondered how low-cost alkalising jugs alkalise? Do they use quality materials? Are they safe?
Most alkalising jugs add toxic materials to their filters, such as calcite and dolomite in the form of spheres that can be seen with the naked eye.
They also add the ion-exchange resin mentioned above.
