Mulholland, Innovation, and What’s Next for ALKAVIDA’s Mineral Filtration
Great water solutions don’t happen by accident—they’re engineered. From bold infrastructure thinking to modern mineral filtration, innovation has always been the common thread.
1) Mulholland’s Innovative History: Engineering That Changed What Was Possible
When people think about water systems, they often picture pipes and pumps—but the real breakthroughs start with vision. Mulholland is widely associated with a pioneering era of large-scale water engineering—an approach defined by ambition, problem-solving, and the willingness to build smarter solutions for growing communities.
Innovation isn’t just new technology—it’s a mindset:
Identify the problem, challenge the assumptions, and engineer a better path forward.
That mindset—solving real water challenges with practical engineering—still matters today. Because while the tools evolve, the goal stays the same: deliver better water that people can rely on, every day.
2) Mulholland and Mr. Freddy: The Same Innovation DNA
At ALKAVIDA, we believe innovation is most powerful when it’s grounded in engineering discipline. That’s why Michelle asked us to emphasize Mr. Freddy’s role not just as a founder—but as an engineer with a relentless drive to improve how water is treated, delivered, and experienced.
Mulholland’s legacy represents an era of “build the solution” thinking—engineering guided by necessity and vision. Mr. Freddy shares that same core approach: identify what’s missing, iterate on design, and create something that performs in the real world. It’s a practical kind of innovation—measured by outcomes, not hype.
- Problem-first thinking: Start with the water challenge, then engineer the solution.
- Performance over promises: Build for reliable results and everyday usability.
- Continuous improvement: Innovation as an ongoing process—not a one-time event.
That shared “innovation DNA” is exactly what’s guiding the next evolution of our mineral filtration—especially as we introduce a new enhancement designed to support a more balanced hydration experience.
3) Coming Soon: Zinc-Infused Mineralization in the Alkaline Cartridge
We’re preparing an upcoming product update that expands the mineralization process by incorporating zinc as part of the alkaline cartridge. Zinc is an essential trace mineral that plays a critical role in everyday wellness. When infused into alkaline mineral filtration, zinc contributes to water that supports the body’s natural systems—starting at the cellular level.
Key Benefits of Zinc in Drinking Water
- Immune System Support: Zinc is essential for normal immune function and helps support the body’s natural defenses.
- Skin, Hair & Nail Health: Zinc supports collagen production and skin renewal, making it an important mineral for maintaining healthy-looking skin, hair, and nails.
- Antioxidant Protection: Zinc contributes to antioxidant activity in the body, helping protect cells from oxidative stress caused by everyday environmental factors.
- Metabolic & Enzyme Function: Zinc plays a role in 300+ enzymatic processes, supporting digestion, metabolism, and overall cellular function.
- Taste & Sensory Function: Zinc is essential for maintaining normal taste and smell—two senses closely tied to hydration and overall wellness.
- Synergy with Alkaline Minerals: When combined with alkaline minerals, zinc helps create a more balanced, mineral-rich hydration experience designed to support the body’s natural equilibrium.
This next step is a continuation of what innovation has always meant to us: thoughtful engineering improvements that enhance the water experience in ways you can feel—taste, balance, and consistency.
