Santevia MINA Fluoride Removal Filter – NSF-Certified Replacement Cartridge
The most advanced replacement filter for your Santevia MINA Pitcher or Glass Water System. This single cartridge removes 99% of fluoride, chlorine, and lead — plus 90+ additional contaminants including PFAS/PFOS forever chemicals — while infusing your water with calcium, magnesium, and potassium for naturally alkaline, mineral-rich hydration.
Tested to NSF Standards 42, 53, and 401. Made in Vancouver, BC, Canada. BPA- and BPS-free.
What This Filter Removes
-
99% fluoride — targets this widely debated additive linked to thyroid and neurological concerns
-
99% chlorine & chloramines — eliminates the chemical disinfectants that cause that "pool water" taste and odor
-
99% lead — protects against one of the most dangerous neurotoxins in drinking water, especially harmful to children
-
PFAS & PFOS (forever chemicals) — reduces persistent synthetic compounds increasingly found in municipal water supplies
-
Heavy metals — including cadmium and mercury
-
VOCs & other contaminants — 90+ total contaminants addressed
What This Filter Adds
-
Calcium & magnesium — essential electrolytes that support bone health, hydration, and muscle function
-
Potassium — supports cardiovascular health and electrolyte balance
-
Alkaline pH boost — raises water pH by up to +2.0 for balanced, smooth-tasting hydration
NSF-Certified Performance You Can Trust
The MINA Fluoride Filter is rigorously tested to three NSF standards:
-
NSF 42 — aesthetic effects (chlorine taste & odor reduction)
-
NSF 53 — health effects (lead, cysts, and other health-related contaminants)
-
NSF 401 — emerging contaminants (pharmaceuticals, PFAS/PFOS, and other trace compounds)
These certifications mean independent lab testing has verified the filter's performance claims — not just manufacturer data.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much fluoride does the Santevia MINA Fluoride Filter remove?
The MINA Fluoride Filter removes up to 99% of fluoride from tap water, as tested and verified to NSF Standard 53. This makes it one of the most effective pitcher-based fluoride reduction solutions available.
Is this filter compatible with all Santevia MINA pitchers?
Yes — the MINA Fluoride Removal Filter is compatible with the Santevia MINA Pitcher and the MINA Glass Water System. It is not compatible with other Santevia pitcher models (such as the Gravity Water System).
How often should I replace the MINA Fluoride Filter?
Santevia recommends replacing the filter approximately every 2 months. Actual lifespan may vary depending on your local water quality and how much water you filter daily. Sign up for Filter Ease to receive automated replacement reminders.
Does the MINA Fluoride Filter remove PFAS and PFOS?
Yes. The filter is tested to NSF Standard 401, which covers emerging contaminants including PFAS and PFOS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly called "forever chemicals"). These synthetic compounds are increasingly detected in municipal water supplies across North America.
Does this filter make water alkaline?
Yes. The mineral stage of the MINA Fluoride Filter infuses water with calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which naturally raise the water's pH by up to +2.0 — producing alkaline, mineral-rich water similar in profile to natural spring water.
Is the MINA Fluoride Filter BPA-free?
Yes. The filter housing is made from BPA- and BPS-free plastic, meeting North American safety standards for food-contact materials.
Where is the Santevia MINA Fluoride Filter made?
The MINA Fluoride Filter is manufactured in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada — the same facility that produces the MINA Pitcher itself.
What is the difference between the standard MINA filter and the MINA Fluoride Filter?
The standard MINA Filter uses GAC and ion-exchange resin to reduce chlorine, lead, and heavy metals. The MINA Fluoride Filter adds an additional fluoride-reduction stage, making it the better choice for households on fluoridated municipal water supplies or those with specific fluoride concerns.
