Are minerals removed?

The Camelot® water filtration systems, such as Imperial®, are designed to remove harmful substances from water while preserving beneficial minerals and trace elements that are essential for human health.

Many consumers worry that water filters may also remove essential minerals. In the case of Imperial® systems, the answer is clear: beneficial minerals are not removed. In contrast, some competitors’ reverse osmosis systems remove these minerals, leaving water devoid of essential elements and potentially non-potable.

The Importance of Minerals in Water

Minerals and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and others are vital for the human body. These minerals:

• Support proper muscle and nerve function

• Promote bone health

• Maintain electrolyte balance

A deficiency in these minerals can lead to:

• Muscle cramps

• Weak bones

• Electrolyte imbalance

Many bottled waters on the market are low in minerals, often without consumers realizing it.

How Imperial® Systems Work

Imperial® systems use advanced filtration technologies that:

• Remove harmful contaminants such as chlorine, heavy metals, microorganisms, and dangerous chemicals

• Preserve beneficial minerals

This is achieved through:

• Grade 1 pharmaceutical-grade coconut shell activated carbon

• Specially designed internal and external membranes that allow only the essential minerals to pass through

The TDS Meter Experiment

To demonstrate that Imperial® systems do not remove beneficial minerals, we use a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) meter.

The TDS meter:

• Measures the concentration of dissolved solids in water

• Does not indicate chemical contamination, only the presence of salts

During the experiment, TDS is measured before and after filtration. The reading remains stable, proving that beneficial minerals remain in the water. This demonstration is conducted live for every new customer, ensuring transparency and trust.

Understanding TDS Readings

It is important to know what a TDS meter actually measures:

• It provides a general indication of dissolved salts (both good and bad)

• It is not a water purity test

• It does not detect chemicals or toxic substances

For example:

• Deionized water from a supermarket may show ≈ 0 TDS

• Yet it may still contain chemicals or be unsafe to drink

This is why TDS cannot be considered a “purity test,” as some companies claim.

Conclusion

Camelot® Imperial® water filtration systems are designed to provide:

• Clean and safe water

• Without removing essential minerals

Using a TDS meter, we can verify that beneficial minerals remain in the water after filtration. Understanding the role and limitations of TDS readings is critical for evaluating water quality.

Beneficial minerals are essential for health, and Imperial® systems ensure:

• Safety

• Purity

• Nutritional value

A filter that removes all impurities but also strips essential minerals is a “colorless” and potentially dangerous solution.
