What are UltraWater Filters?
UltraWater filters are not just another water filter, but a revolutionary leap in innovation! They surpass RO [reverse osmosis] water filter technology in eliminating all known and even rarely tested contaminants in water, setting a new standard in water filtration.
These UltraWater filter systems combine the extensive knowledge of US water filtering with groundbreaking space technology. This technology, originally designed to recycle urine and sweat into drinkable water for astronauts, has been harnessed by AlkaViva design engineers to create the advanced filters of UltraWater!
The new UltraWater filters can fit into all AlkaViva and Jupiter water ionizers.
If you have a water ionizer other than one of these and want UltraWater filtration, select a set of External UltraWater filters (see section below).
Traditional Water Filters vs UltraWater
Unlike traditional water filters that use loose, granulated media beds, the UltraWater filter's solid block design forces the water into full contact with all of the filter media. This means there are no tiny spaces for water to pass untouched, resulting in a purification process that far exceeds the capability of ordinary water filters.
- It uses the highest-quality media available and transforms the mix into solid forms.
- The ingredients of the filter are a thorough mix of all the best filter media,
- Solid block filters keep contamination from bypassing or channeling through the filter media.
- They ensure a more thorough contact time with the water.
- All of this means significantly higher percentages of reduced contamination than traditional loose media beds.
Extensive tests prove that UltraWater Filters are a testament to the power of solid block filters because they outperform traditional filters by leaps and bounds.

You don't need a water ionizer to take advantage of UltraWater filtration. They are also available as external filters.
External UltraWater Filters for Any Application
Lab Results Prove What the UltraWater Filters Can Do!
In our 2020 Tests, our UltraWater filters were put to the ultimate test. The labs added a wide range of new chemicals, and yet the UltraWater filters removed everything beyond all expectations. Even PFOAs, which are notoriously difficult to remove and are often referred to as "forever chemicals", were eliminated. These results are a testament to the exceptional performance of our filters.
The Testing Methods were Brutal
The stringent testing process AlkaViva employs is designed to guarantee the quality and effectiveness of the UltraWater filters. The results are truly exceptional, providing you with peace of mind about the product's performance.
The lab technicians loaded up the water with a brew of all kinds of toxins and pharmaceuticals added to the water. The water was far more toxic than any water you'd ever encountered. Then they pumped this water through the ionizer, which contained the ultra water filters, and 99.% of the toxins were removed to the point of "ND," non-detectable levels. They also continued pouring water through the filters to establish the approximate filter life expectancy, instilling confidence in their performance.
The UltraWater filter set is expected to be as effective as described above for about 1,000 gallons. However, because some water sources are more contaminated, there may be some variability with all filters. We suggest you adjust the filter life for your family's use accordingly.
The Best Water Filtration
One of the most essential features of a water ionizer is the filtration quality.
There are many water ionizer choices on the market today. Each machine has at least one filter, sometimes two. Some companies have lab-tested their filters; some report the filter media used.
But at the top of the list are the AlkaViva water ionizers. The best filtration system ever developed is AlkaViva's UltraWater filtration, whose water engineers have ruggedly tested the results.
Fluoride
There are two types of UltraWater filters. 1) for all the chemical contaminants you can imagine, and 2) for extra fluoride removal.
Fluoride removal is a crucial aspect of water filtration, especially for those concerned about their health. The unique Fluoride Shield UltraWater Filter was developed to address this need. It removes any fluoride that may have passed through other filters and ionizers, ensuring your water is entirely free from this harmful substance. The filter should be changed every 6 months to maintain its effectiveness.
Water ionizers remove 50-75% of Fluoride because it is acidic, even without a fluoride filter. (Note: The best flow rate for fluoride removal is 1.5 liters per minute or slower.)
What's Inside the UltraWater Filter?
Sediment Shield
Standard GAC filters do not offer this component. It is an electrostatic wrap comprised of polypropylene spun fiber. It is designed to provide a mechanical barrier to sediment – meaning it traps the sediment.
Biostone Booster
Comprised of NSF-certified CaSO3 bio-ceramic balls. They target chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals. CaSO3 is more effective than granulated active carbon or KDF. CaSO3 will outperform carbon and KDF by a factor of x2.
Biostone Carbon with Impregnation Plus
The NSF-certified carbon is catalyzed with an oxidizer with the highest oxidation and adsorption pore concentration. The carbon is impregnated with natural zeolite and silver. Zeolite increases heavy metal reduction and has a slight ion exchange effect. The silver prevents bacteria growth between uses. They use both carbon block and loose bed applications. Then, the filters are sintered (formed into a solid block) and compressed under high temperature and heat, resulting in a superior block. This AlkaViva proprietary process dramatically increases the surface area, contact time, and capability.
UltraWater Disc Technology
The UltraWater leading-edge technology is a genuine turbocharger in water filtration. It combines a high-tech, NSF-certified reticulated foam impregnated with three different media—all are NSF-certified. This unique combination offers an unmatched reduction in heavy metals and organics, allowing the filters to target contaminants that other alkaline water ionizer filters can't, such as arsenic. The UltraWater Disc Technology is a significant feature that sets the filters apart from others in the market.
Bio-Ceramic Tourmaline with Scale Guard
The tourmaline is in a rugged, bio-ceramic ball. It releases FAR infrared energy, lowering surface tension. Scale Guard is a highly effective, natural and healthy, anti-scale media. These crystal beads protect the ionizer from hard-water damage.
What Does the UltraWater Filter Do?
- This unique combination effectively "turbocharges" the media and filtration processes, allowing better performance and results.
- UltraWater is the ONLY alkaline water ionizer filter tested for 249 contaminants.
- Independent EPA / NELAP certified lab testing shows UltraWater is the ONLY filter that can reduce virtually all contaminants up to 99.9%, even the toughest, including arsenic, chromium VI, lead, VOCs, and pharmaceuticals.
- UltraWater filtration technology reduces harmful contaminants, allowing good, naturally occurring minerals to pass through.
- UltraWater is also available in a stand-alone filter formulated to create ionization without electricity. Some world's renowned healing water sources are passively ionized by contact with certain earth alkali minerals, silicate, and crystalline complexes. AlkaViva formulated an exclusive "passive ionization" technology inside the non-electric Elita Filter System. As water passes over the passive ionization media, it increases pH, –ORP, and molecular hydrogen (H2 water).
Ultraclean and effective UltraWater is the best answer to all water filtration!
