does a water filter filter out the trace vitamins and minerals?

Question:

does it filter out all the minerals???z

Answers:

A standard home water filter is usually based on activated charcoal and will strain out small particulates and make the water taste better, but it does not greatly alter the chemical content of the water--trace pesticides, natural iron, and artificially added fluoride all make it through.

It should. Especially if it has a "charcoal activated" filter, or if it has some form of "ionic action" whereby the water is run through charged plates that will attract any charged particles.
