# Mineralizing Water Purifiers Mitte's Home Water System Enriches Water with Custom Mineral Blends By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-10-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-water-system References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mitte-water/mitte-create-your-own-mineral-water-just-like-natu?ref=365473&token=e742c3e8&utm_source=MBA) While the average health-conscious consumer may be familiar with seeking out purified water or products that have been enriched with minerals, Mitte is introducing a next-level [home water system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drinking-water-system) that offers purified water that's fortified by a custom combination of minerals to suit one's needs. Many [water purification systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adaptable-water-purification-system) can actually strip water of healthy, beneficial minerals, but Mitte is a system that makes it possible to consume clean, pure water that is extremely mineral-rich. As it stands, Mitte has created three replaceable patent-pending mineral cartridges: Mitte Balance, which is said to be ideal for baby food preparation and tea or coffee brewing; Mitte Vitality, which is rich in calcium, magnesium and potassium; and [Mitte Alkaline](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kara-pure-2), which boasts a pH of 8.5 to 9. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mineral-enriched Water:** Opportunity for brands to develop mineral-enriched water for health-conscious consumers. - **Custom Mineral Blends:** Opportunity to create home water systems that offer custom mineral blends to cater to individual needs. - **Replaceable Mineral Cartridges:** Opportunity for manufacturers to produce replaceable mineral cartridges for water purification systems that preserve healthy minerals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Health and Wellness:** This trend caters to the health-conscious consumer market who are looking for products that enhance their health and wellness. - **Home Appliances:** Opportunity for home appliance manufacturers to create mineral-enhancing water purifiers for household use. - **Water Filtration:** Water filtration companies can capitalize on this trend by developing innovative systems that preserve healthy minerals in purified water. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mineralizing Water-Sanitizing Carbonators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon8-onetouch-sparkling-water-maker.md) - [Hybrid Water Hydrogenators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-piurify-water-hydrogenator.md) - [Advanced Water Purification Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-purification-appliance.md) - [Eco-Friendly Air-to-Water Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kara-pure.md) - [Personal Water-Ionizing Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piurify-hydrogenator-bottle.md) - [Portable Water Conditioning Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-water-conditioning-system.md) - [Kitchen Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-station-1.md) - [Atmospheric Water Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kara-pure-2.md) - [Powered Pitcher-Style Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piurify-alchemy.md)
