At Alkanatur, we pour our passion into ensuring the water you drink is clean, healthy, and mineral-rich. We rigorously test our Alkanatur Pitcher and are confident in its ability to transform your everyday tap water. But sometimes, our community takes that confidence to a whole new level, putting our technology to the test in ways we don't even anticipate!
Recently, we heard about a fascinating (and rather bold!) personal experiment conducted by one of our affiliates in Spain, biologist Daniel Prieto. Curious about the limits of filtration, he decided to see what would happen if he filtered water taken directly from a local creek.
The Creek Water: What Did They Find?
As you can imagine, untreated creek water can be a bustling hub for various microorganisms, some of which can be pathogenic and harmful if ingested. Daniel took samples of this water, noted its initial state, and then filtered it through a standard Alkanatur Pitcher.
The outcome? The results were genuinely impressive. Post-filtration, a significant portion of the pathogenic microorganisms originally present in the creek water were reduced or even eliminated. This speaks volumes about the robust design and high quality of the filtration media we use in every Alkanatur filter.

An Important Note: Safety, Intended Use, and Our Official Stance
While these independent results are compelling and highlight the filter's capabilities in an extreme scenario, we at Alkanatur need to be crystal clear:
We do not recommend, endorse, or advise using the Alkanatur Pitcher to filter non-potable water from untreated sources like creeks, rivers, or lakes.
Our pitcher is specifically designed and tested for use with municipally treated tap water (potable water) to further enhance its quality, remove impurities like chlorine, heavy metals, and microplastics, and to alkalize it.
This particular experiment in Spain was carried out independently, under specific conditions unknown fully to us, and should not be seen as an indication that the Alkanatur Pitcher is a substitute for certified water purification systems designed for backcountry use or for treating microbiologically unsafe water. Using it in such a way could pose health risks.
So, What Does This Experiment Mean for Your Tap Water?
The true takeaway from this affiliate’s surprising test isn't that you should start filtering water from the wild. Instead, it's a powerful, albeit unconventional, demonstration of the sheer quality and effectiveness packed into our filters.
If our filter can make such a noticeable difference in a challenging sample like creek water, imagine the peace of mind it can bring to the quality of your everyday tap water. It’s designed to:
- Purify: Reducing common contaminants found in tap water.
- Alkalize: Helping to balance your body's pH.
- Enhance: Improving taste and adding beneficial minerals.
With Alkanatur, you can feel good about every single sip, knowing you're drinking water that's not only cleaner but also actively contributes to your well-being.
