    Abstract: A method for providing purified, re-mineralized water (127) in magnesium and calcium ions comprises the steps of providing a flow of feedwater (101) and purifying and/or demineralizing it by a purifying and/or demineralizing process to produce a flow of purified, demineralized water (113); injecting carbon dioxide into said purified, demineralized water (113) to produce a flow of carbon-dioxide-enriched water (123); and finally passing the carbon-dioxide-enriched water (123) through a re-mineralizer (124) which comprises a dolomite medium (126), thereby producing a simultaneous remineralizing of the water in Calcium and Magnesium leading to a flow of purified, re-mineralized water (127).

    Abstract: The present invention provides a filter unit 10 for a capsule for preparing a beverage and/or nutritional product. The filter unit is designed to avoid clogging. The filter unit therefore comprises a second filter 50, which is provided upstream a first filter 40 in respect to the liquid flow through the filter unit 10. The second filter 50 has a pore size to hold back large particles such as scale, bio-film or iron oxide. The present invention is able to ensure a consistent liquid flow through the filter unit. The filter unit can be used with any kind of liquid source.
