What do the Mitte Cartridges do and how do they work?

The Mitte cartridges are inspired by the naturally occurring process when rainwater filters through different compositional layers of rock, absorbing their dissolved mineral salts, and emerges at the source saturated with those minerals. Each of our cartridges has a different set of minerals or ionizing technology, providing you with everything you need. 

With the Balance and Restore cartridge, the tap water is first primed for mineralization with the addition of small amounts of CO₂ in order to acidify it. This proprietary mineralization then allows calcium and magnesium to be fully dissolved in the Balance cartridge and just magnesium in the Restore cartridge.

With the Active and Light cartridge, the tap water first passes through a layer of resin using a highly innovative resin technology. Through this technology, the Light cartridge reduces calcium residue and the Active cartridge releases potassium and sodium. 

All cartridges then move onto two filtration stages: in the first, it passes through an activated carbon filter, derived from coconut shells, which filters out chlorine and heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, chromium and mercury.

The second filtration step uses a high-quality, hollow fiber filter manufactured by a premium supplier. This is a physical filtration, a layer that catches 99,99999% bacteria as well as microplastics and nanoplastics up to 0.2 μm. Once the mineralization and filtration steps are complete, the water is delivered into the bottle.
