Water quality is a concern for health-conscious individuals. However, not all water filtration methods are created equal. Many conventional filters rely on cheap and potentially hazardous additives or filtration mediums to remove impurities such as chlorine, which can compromise the safety and effectiveness of the water you consume. At Alkanatur, we have taken a different approach, using bioceramics and coconut carbon charcoal in our filters to provide a better, healthier, and more natural filtration solution. Here’s why this matters.
The Basic Methods Aren't Great
Several conventional water filters on the market use inexpensive filtration methods to reduce contaminants like chlorine. While these techniques may appear effective on the surface, they often introduce other risks or undesirable substances into the water. Some of the most common filtration mediums used include:
-
Ion Exchange Resin
This technique is often used to soften water by replacing calcium and magnesium ions with sodium. While it can reduce certain impurities, it can also increase the sodium content in drinking water, posing a potential health risk to individuals who need to limit their sodium intake. Furthermore, adding sodium to the water does not improve its health benefits and can compromise the natural balance of essential minerals. -
KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion)
KDF is a filtration medium made from copper and zinc alloys. While it is capable of reducing chlorine and certain heavy metals, its efficiency depends heavily on water temperature and flow rate. Moreover, KDF’s ability to remove organic contaminants is limited, and some studies have raised concerns about the leaching of metals into the filtered water, especially if the filter is not properly maintained. -
Calcium Sulfite
Frequently used in shower filters, calcium sulfite is a cost-effective way to reduce chlorine. However, its benefits are restricted to certain temperatures, and it does little to remove other common water contaminants such as heavy metals, organic compounds, or microbial impurities. Thus, while it may reduce chlorine, it falls short of providing comprehensive water purification. Its fumes are also toxic to inhale.
Our Natural Approach
Alkanatur filters take water filtration to the next level by avoiding these cheap and potentially harmful methods. Instead, Alkanatur filters employ a combination of bioceramics and coconut carbon charcoal, providing a more holistic and natural approach to water purification.

Bioceramics for a Natural and Balanced Filtration Process
Bioceramics are made from natural materials that undergo a high-temperature treatment process. When used in water filters, they offer several benefits, including pH balancing, mineral enhancement, and the reduction of contaminants. Bioceramics help maintain the water’s natural structure and alkalinity without introducing unwanted additives like sodium. This method preserves essential minerals in the water, which supports overall health and hydration more effectively than traditional filtration methods. It also creates antioxidant rich water. -
Coconut Carbon Charcoal: A Premium Solution for Chlorine and Organic Compounds
Activated carbon derived from coconut shells is recognized as one of the most efficient natural filtration materials. It has a high surface area that effectively adsorbs impurities, including chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and certain heavy metals, providing a cleaner and fresher taste. Unlike KDF or calcium sulfite, coconut carbon charcoal operates effectively at a wide range of temperatures and is known for its longevity and reliability in water filtration applications. -
Avoiding Harmful Additives
By steering clear of ion exchange resin, KDF, and calcium sulfite, Alkanatur ensures that no additional chemicals or unwanted elements are introduced into the water. This commitment to purity allows customers to enjoy water that is free from contaminants while still retaining essential minerals and an optimal pH level.
Prioritizing Health and Safety
Alkanatur’s innovative approach to water filtration reflects a commitment to health and safety. Here are some of the key benefits that set Alkanatur filters apart:
- No Sodium Added: Unlike filters that use ion exchange resin, our filters do not increase sodium levels in the water, making them suitable for individuals on low-sodium diets.
- Enhanced Mineral Balance: Bioceramics ensure that essential minerals like magnesium remain in the water, along with creating antioxidants, promoting optimal hydration and well-being.
- Comprehensive Chlorine Removal: The combination of bioceramics and coconut carbon charcoal effectively removes chlorine and other organic compounds without relying on toxic additives.
- Environmentally Friendly Materials: The use of natural materials like coconut shells in the charcoal helps minimize the environmental impact, offering a more sustainable solution compared to conventional water filters.
Choosing the right water filter is not just about removing everything from the water; it’s about doing so in a way that preserves the quality and natural benefits of the water. Alkanatur's use of bioceramics and coconut carbon charcoal delivers a premium water filtration experience, free from the shortcomings associated with ion exchange resin, KDF, and calcium sulfite. By providing a safer, more natural approach to water purification, we ensure that you can enjoy the pure, balanced water you deserve.
Make the switch to Alkanatur and experience the benefits of water filtration done right. Your health and well-being are worth the investment.
