Vitev REMIN Ca - RO Remineralization Filter

Designed for those who want minerals back in their water, but not the higher pH. Vitev's REMIN Ca has more of Vitev's special coral calcium and other trace elements, but is lower on the pH and antioxidant levels. If you want higher pH and more antioxidants, the REMIN pH is your answer.

Reverse Osmosis Mineralization Features & Benefits

Premium mineral formula made for consumption:

Other remineralization cartridges are made with cheap ingredients like calcite. They add some very low levels of a few minerals back into the water, but they aren’t formulated with you in mind. We drink Vitev water, our families do as well, so we care about the ingredients Vitev uses. 

Proprietary:

It took Vitev several years of testing and failing to figure out what formulas worked in various situations. Vitev's REMIN Ca uses a customized blend of Eco-Safe Coral Calcium. The only one in the world, harvested from the Caribbean and containing 70+ other trace elements including potassium and natural sodium. 99.9% pure Magnesium to balance the calcium and provide pH/alkaline, antioxidant and ionized benefits. Infrared and tourmaline ceramics soften the water and improve the way it tastes and feels.

Safe and toxin-free:

Made in the US (Idaho to be exact). Minerals soak tested to meet the strict California Prop 65 standards for safety. The housing is made from recycled BPA-free plastic.

Slow release formula:

You won’t find longer lasting performance. Only needs replacing every 12 months with an average family’s use. All ingredients are correctly proportioned so you get a consistent, quality glass every time.

Compatible with any reverse osmosis system:

The preferred setup is directly after the membrane, but can also be installed after the tank. Installation takes about 5 minutes. If you aren’t sure, contact us and we can walk you through it. Check out the installation tab for diagrams.

SAFE and PURE:

As we said above, we drink Vitev water ourselves and we care about what goes into our bodies. Below are two lab reports. The first is a list of our Coral Calcium’s composition to show the wide range of trace and macro mineral benefits provided. The second is a soak test Vitev had done by Pace Laboratories. They put Vitev's mineral blend into a beaker, filled it with distilled water and then let it soak for 24 hours. Afterwards they tested that water to ensure it was toxin free and would pass the stringent California Prop 65 requirements. Vitev annotated those results with a more common parts per million number. The water passed with flying colors.

What makes the REMIN different from others?

First, Vitev's ingredients. Most other products categorized as remineralization use a very cheap form of calcium called calcite. Calcite was designed for use in commercial and industrial applications to ensure low pH water would not degrade plumbing. It does increase the total dissolved solids in the water and the alkaline level, but it's not a form we should be consuming. If you have issues with low pH water in your home, then calcite is a great solution. But it’s not designed for your body’s plumbing.

Secondly, Vitev designed the REMIN to also improve the antioxidant properties as well as taste and feel of the water. You notice the taste improvement immediately, and shortly after will experience how hydrating the water is because of its antioxidant and electrical properties. You won’t feel full and you will probably crave more initially because your body is finally experiencing true hydration. The REMIN isn’t a one trick pony. It provides comprehensive hydration.

Why is the water cloudy?

Initially, you might see some mineral sediment in the glass. That means you need to flush more water through the REMIN. After the sediment passes, the water can still be slightly cloudy, but you’ll notice it’s because of bubbles, not sediment. The bubbles are the result of the ionization process and are a sign of a very potent reaction taking place between the minerals and the water. Drink the bubbles, they are great for you. Over time this reaction will slow down a bit and the cloudiness will decrease as well. You might still see it with the first glass of the day, but with a lot of use the reaction will settle in.

How do I install the REMIN?

Our preferred recommendation is to place the REMIN just after the membrane and before the tank. You’ll need a Tee between the tank and REMIN to ensure water doesn’t flow back through it in the wrong direction as it heads to the faucet. The longer the water is in contact with the minerals, the better the performance. The REMIN comes with ¼” quick connects on each end, so you simply cut the tubing and plug it into each end. Clips are included to either mount it HORIZONTALLY on the inside of the cabinet or on top of the RO.

If access to that tubing is not possible, then you can also install it directly after the tank or final polishing filter. Again, splice it into the tubing and mount it HORIZONTALLY.

What TDS can I expect?

This will vary based on where the REMIN is installed, how fast the water flows through and how much it has been used. Vitev utilizes a slow release form of the minerals, but you will still see some decline over time. The REMIN is not to be thought of as a mineral supplement. We are only making the water easier to digest and better and hydrating. On average you will see the TDS range from 30 to 60 ppm.

Why Vitev alkaline water?

Water is essential to all life. We use it to stay hydrated, but can it do more for us? Yes! There are proven scientific benefits to alkaline, antioxidant water like that produced by Vitev natural ionizers. 

Alkalinity/minerals:

Just measuring the pH level of the water is not a good indication of how healthy it is. pH and alkalinity are not the same. We need tangible minerals in our diet to negate acid waste and cancel the damaging effects, not just a pH number to scare the waste away. Drinking a high pH water without minerals to support it is much less effective than a higher pH WITH a healthy blend of alkaline minerals.

Antioxidant/molecular hydrogen:

Balance within the human body is massively important. Too many oxidants and the body breaks down, it ages, it rusts. We need some protection.

Oxidants come in many forms, from what we eat and drink, to lack of sleep, stress and even exercise. That realization many years ago led to a rush of antioxidant foods and supplements to the market. So much so, that for many of us, it’s common knowledge the salad has more antioxidants than the cheeseburger.

But with drinks, it’s harder because there has been very little attention given to them. The easiest way to determine whether a drink helps or hurts us is to look at its ORP level. Positive numbers are bad and are always found in tap/bottled water, sports drinks, etc. Negative numbers are what you want. The only way you can get them is to create the water fresh.

Going a little deeper, being able to create nature’s most potent antioxidant; Molecular Hydrogen is even better. By running water over the elemental Magnesium included in Vitev's mix, we get a drink full of protective antioxidants in a form our bodies crave. On demand, anytime you want it.

Hydration - detox:

Cells drink water 1 molecule at a time using a variety of different aquaporins. Think of them like toll booths into the cell, but instead of paying a couple dollars to get in, the toll is a negative electrical charge. Wrong charge, no entrance.

We also need the correct mineral concentration inside and outside of the cell. Too many minerals outside and the cell is compressed, too many inside and it can burst - like a water balloon. When the pressure is balanced, we get smooth, healthy cells.

Maybe more important than getting water into the cell is getting waste and toxins out. When waste backs up, it doesn’t matter how much more good stuff we put into our bodies, we need to free up some space. The best scenario is to have both the “in” and the “out” doors open and working at the same time. Often, this is one of the first benefits Vitev drinkers experience.

Clean:

Defining “clean” is difficult these days and very much depends on personal preference. Vitev’s natural processes are able to work with any degree of filtration desired. Vitev offers everything from simple carbon filtration all the way to the top end reverse osmosis platform to fit your needs.

Vitev also won’t blow smoke and allow you to think you’re getting something better than you really are. One of our earliest lessons was learning how filter performance is so often exaggerated. Customers end up thinking they are getting great protection when they aren’t. As a customer it was a hard lesson.

Filtering water isn’t difficult, but it’s also not so easy a small filter can remove huge percentages of the toxins in our water. Technology just isn’t there yet.
