The best undersink water filter isn’t just one that removes contaminants—it’s one that also replenishes essential minerals your body needs. The Hydration Stack combines the MicroMax 8500 reverse osmosis system with UMH Sango, a powerful remineralization filter that adds back 76+ trace minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium. This makes it one of the most complete systems available for safe, mineral-rich hydration right from your kitchen sink.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a purification process—it removes toxins like PFAS, heavy metals, and microplastics. But RO water is essentially flat: clean, but energetically disorganized and mineral-deficient. A water structuring system, like UMH Pure, reorganizes water molecules into a natural crystalline structure that resembles fresh spring water. This structure enhances cellular hydration, energy transfer, and absorption—something RO can’t do on its own.

Think of RO as cleaning the slate. Structuring is what writes the optimal message back into your water.

Reverse osmosis removes nearly everything from water—including the good stuff like calcium and magnesium. It’s a highly effective purification method, but without remineralization, the water can become acidic, poorly absorbed, and even dehydrating over time.

That’s why the Hydration Stack includes UMH Sango—a powerful mineral infusion system that brings water back into balance with bioavailable electrolytes. This not only improves taste and pH, but supports true, cellular-level hydration.

Electrolyte drops are a quick fix, but they often include synthetic or isolated minerals. Remineralization through UMH Sango mimics the full-spectrum mineral profile of oceanic and spring water, offering over 76 naturally balanced elements. It’s a sustainable, bioavailable, and balanced approach that supports hydration and long-term wellness—without the guesswork or aftertaste.

Yes—structured water, often referred to as EZ (Exclusion Zone) water, was first described in research by Dr. Gerald Pollack. It forms a gel-like layer in the body that plays a role in cellular energy production, detoxification, and hydration. While mainstream science is still catching up, many clinicians and performance labs now integrate structured water systems to support biological function. The Hydration Stack uses UMH technology, one of the most advanced structuring devices available.

Absolutely. Most users report smoother texture, better taste, and improved hydration within the first few days.

Absolutely. If you already have a whole-home water softener, the Hydration Stack is the perfect complement. In fact, softeners often replace important minerals with sodium, which can make water less hydrating. Our system remineralizes and restructures softened water, restoring balance and bioavailability for your cells.

It’s best to use a licensed plumber to ensure proper installation, but we’ve had plenty of handy DIY clients set it up themselves using our step-by-step guidance.

Yes. The UMH Sango remineralization filter naturally raises the water’s pH by adding 70+ bioavailable trace minerals.

Very low. The MicroMax filter needs replacement every 12–24 months, and the Sango cartridge lasts ~2 years. The UMH Pure requires no maintenance.

Yes—this system produces ultra-clean, mineral-rich water without chemicals, additives, or contaminants. It's ideal for the whole family.
