Does your filter remove fluoride?

We do not know how much fluoride has been added to your water system; there would be a sliding scale of effectiveness as the carbon ages, etc. However, we know the water passes slowly through the AquaRain (which is positive since you want the contact time to be as long as possible.) We have found documents that say carbon will reduce fluoride enough (up to 80%)

I hit the wrong button. I should have said "no." Fluoride is a difficult thing to remove from water, and gravity carbon filter systems may not be the most efficient or effective way to do the job. If you use a gravity water filter system that has carbon in its operation, a more accurate word would be reduce rather than remove. Carbon is generally not the accepted media for fluoride reduction

no, this is the one I have. look on amazon or the internet for a propur fluoride filter. - john l.

No, this is purely to raise the pH of the water to alkaline levels. There are other Fluorideremoval filters and these are either whole house or under Counter models.

No, not all of it. You need reverse osmosis to remove all the fluoride, however it does remove 15 to 30% of it.If you buy this product, check out their automatic shipment of a filter every 6 months for just $25.00 each. It extends the warranty as long as you are getting shipments and is very convenient and reasonable.

No it does not. Fluoride is a lab test, you can find one here:http://www.filterwater.com/p-380-ntl-watercheck-fluoride-water-test.aspx

No it does not. I purchased this unit and after a few months of great water I got to thinking about fluoride. After I realized that this wonderful unit doesn't remove fluoride I purchased a system that distills water. Now I've got 100% pure drinking water. However, this is a great unit for what it does do.

The filter will not remove salts in the water, so it'd be safe to assume that fluoride also will not be removed. You need a reverse osmosis setup for fluoride removal. I'd like to see an answer from Lifesaver on this just to be sure.

No suggestions. I know some people don't want the fluoride. I personally, don't mind and have had it in my water since it was introduced. I believe my excellent dental condition was helped because if that. Sorry, I don't know that a filter can eliminate fluoride...

No. The big berkeys have a filter that will remove fluoride but this does not. This shower filter also has a warning to not drink whatever water goes through the filter.

"Does BRITA reduce / remove fluoride ?The BRITA Water Filter System does not remove fluoride from tap water. Fluoride is a negatively charged ion and does not react with the components of the BRITA Filter Cartridge."--from:http://www.brita.com.au/customerservice/faqs-jugs_and_cask

I have no comparison between different kinds of filters because I have been using only the ceramic ones and since they do an excellent job I'll stick to them. I don't think the ceramic filters remove the fluoride.

Yes, RO removes fluoride... Here is a link to check out:http://www.infobarrel.com/Does_Reverse_Osmosis_Remove_Fluoride_in_your_Drinking_Water

I found this at their web site: The current line of H2O+ water filtration systems are specifically designed not to remove fluoride. Fluoride is a mineral that promotes dental health and has other beneficial qualities when in small quantities, as found in most municipal water systems. However, we realize that some people still want to remove fluoride from their water and are working on additional models to meet this need. Go to http://brondell.com/water-filter-faq/ for more details. Other than that, it is good for apartments where you cannot drill a hole in the counter top to get a reverse osmosis, or I would have gotten a reverse osmosis.

But just to be clear. This machine doesn't remove flouride. My whole house filtration system does though.....and I seriously encourage everyone to get the fluoride out...!

Yes. Including fluoride but they won't claim that because of legal reasons. It won't filter out germs though.

I don't see that anywhere for the black filters that come with it, but there are white filters that say that fluoride is removed.

Yes. All reverse osmosis systems filter out fluoride. I have not had it tested but there are other reviewers who have had it tested with amazing results. We are very happy with this product. I installed it myself in less than three hours. Good Luck!
