MINA Alkaline Pitcher Test Results

Emily Chow Updated by Emily Chow

The Santevia MINA Alkaline Pitcher removes harmful contaminants and then adds back healthy minerals to support your overall health.

The Santevia MINA Alkaline Pitcher is rated to remove the contaminants listed below based on verified performance data. As further testing and research is confirmed, we'll continue to update this performance data article.

Results vary depending on the source water. This data presented is in accordance with the laboratory test results provided by ALS Environmental Laboratory, a global leader in water testing, inspection, certification and verification. All testing is done in accordance with NSF Standards 42, 53, and 401 for water quality and the reduction of chemicals and contaminants. All reduction percentages indicate the maximum filtration capacity of each product based on the rated lifespan of the filter.
