Santevia Gravity Water System – 5-Stage Countertop Fluoride & Alkaline Filter
Clean, mineral-rich, alkaline water from your countertop — no electricity, no plumbing, no compromise. The Santevia Gravity Water System is an award-winning 5-stage filtration system that removes fluoride, lead, chlorine, microplastics, herbicides, and VOCs from ordinary tap water, then infuses it with calcium, magnesium, potassium, and trace minerals to naturally raise the pH to alkaline levels.
Designed and manufactured in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Trusted by health-conscious families, renters, and eco-minded households across North America.
Why the Gravity System Outperforms Standard Pitcher Filters
The key difference is contact time. Gravity-fed filtration moves water slowly through five distinct media stages, giving each stage more time to interact with contaminants. Standard pitcher filters rush water through a single carbon block in seconds. The Gravity System's extended contact time delivers measurably deeper purification — particularly for fluoride, heavy metals, and organic contaminants that require longer exposure to be effectively reduced.
5-Stage Filtration Process
Stage 1 — Ceramic Pre-Filter
The ceramic outer shell acts as the first line of defense, physically blocking sediment, bacteria, and larger particulate matter before water enters the carbon stages. Ceramic filtration is one of the oldest and most reliable water purification methods — effective against particles as small as 0.9 microns.
Stage 2 — Activated Carbon Block
Granulated activated carbon (GAC) reduces chlorine, chloramines, fluoride, and organic contaminants including herbicides, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The extended gravity contact time allows the carbon to adsorb a broader range of organic compounds than rapid-flow pitcher filters.
Stage 3 — Ion Exchange Resin
Ion-exchange resin targets dissolved heavy metals — primarily lead and cadmium — by swapping harmful metal ions for harmless ones. This stage provides the heavy metal protection that activated carbon alone cannot deliver.
Stage 4 — Mineral Stones
Far-infrared mineral stones infuse the filtered water with calcium, magnesium, potassium, and trace minerals — the same mineral profile found in pristine mountain spring water. This stage transforms stripped, flat-tasting filtered water into mineral-rich, naturally structured water.
Stage 5 — pH Enhancement
The final stage naturally raises the water's pH to alkaline levels, producing smooth, balanced water that supports your body's optimal hydration. No artificial ionization — just natural mineral chemistry.
What This System Removes

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Santevia Gravity Water System remove fluoride?
Yes. The Gravity Water System includes a dedicated fluoride reduction stage as part of its 5-stage filtration process. Fluoride is reduced through the activated carbon stage, which — combined with the extended gravity contact time — delivers effective fluoride removal that standard pitcher filters typically cannot match.
Does the Gravity Water System require electricity or plumbing?
No. The system is entirely gravity-fed — simply fill the upper reservoir and gravity draws water through all five filtration stages into the lower reservoir. No electricity, no plumbing connection, and no installation are required. It sits on any countertop and is ideal for renters, apartments, and off-grid use.
How does the Gravity Water System compare to a standard pitcher filter?
The key advantage is contact time. Gravity-fed filtration moves water slowly through five distinct media stages, allowing each stage more time to interact with contaminants. Standard pitcher filters rush water through a single carbon block in seconds. This extended contact time makes the Gravity System significantly more effective at removing fluoride, heavy metals, and organic contaminants.
What minerals does the Santevia Gravity System add to water?
Stage 4 (mineral stones) infuses filtered water with calcium, magnesium, potassium, and trace minerals — the same mineral profile found in premium natural spring water. Stage 5 then naturally raises the water's pH to alkaline levels using mineral chemistry, with no artificial ionization.
How often do the filters need to be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on the specific filter stage and your water quality and usage volume. Replacement filters are sold separately. Santevia provides guidance on replacement schedules for each stage in the product documentation.
How many plastic bottles does the Gravity System replace?
Based on a two-person household consuming 4.0L of water per day, the Gravity System replaces approximately 2,920 single-use plastic bottles per year — a significant reduction in household plastic waste and ongoing bottled water costs.
Is the Santevia Gravity Water System BPA-free?
Yes. The Gravity Water System is made from BPA-free materials, meeting North American safety standards for food-contact products.
Where is the Santevia Gravity Water System made?
The Gravity Water System is designed and manufactured in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Does the Gravity System remove microplastics?
Yes. The ceramic pre-filter (Stage 1) physically blocks microplastics and other particulate matter, as the ceramic shell filters particles as small as 0.9 microns — well within the size range of microplastic particles found in tap water.
What is the social impact of purchasing the Gravity Water System?
Every Gravity Water System purchase donates 100 days of clean drinking water to communities living in water poverty around the world. Santevia's long-term goal is to donate 100,000 years of clean water by 2030.
