Pure filtration only replaces the evaporation step. Truly natural water only emerges when purification and refinement are combined — that is exactly the concept of ideal water.

9. Don't take our word for it — test it yourself
Important for all tests:
Compare your tap water with ideal water — e.g. from a Trink Dich Fit water station or a low-mineral water such as Plose, Lauretana, or Voss.
These experiments are an invitation to observe — not scientific proof and not a health claim.
10. Frequently asked questions
Which water filter is the best?
For pure purification, reverse osmosis is the most effective economically viable method. For all three Vincent parameters (conductivity, pH, redox), the Trink Dich Fit water station is the complete solution.
Does a pitcher filter remove contaminants?
Only to a limited extent. Pitcher filters mainly improve taste. Contaminant removal is low — and they can harbour bacteria.
Does reverse osmosis also remove nitrates and pharmaceuticals?
Yes — reverse osmosis is one of the few methods that largely retains nitrates, pharmaceuticals, hormones, and microplastics. Pure activated carbon filters cannot do this for nitrates.
Is alkaline water healthier?
Alkaline water does not remove contaminants and is critically viewed as permanent drinking water. The Vincent criteria recommend slightly acidic water (pH 6.4–6.9).
Is purely filtered water sufficient?
Purification is one side. For natural ideal water, refinement (remineralisation, oxygen, structure) is also needed.
