I doubt it. Water filters remove larger biological organisms (viruses may get through) and most have an activated carbon component that will remove some organic materials, ie some smells. However, minerals are a different matter altogether. Those are atomic scale particles and are nearly impossible to remove by use of such a small filtration unit.
