We believe so but didn't have a strong taste of chlorine before installing it.

Super chlorine filter, I once tossed my coffee made with tap water because of the chlorine taste/smell - no more, not the slightest.

dont believe it removes fluoride but for the chloramine which is associated with chlorine it removes up to 91%

I haven't tried it on different chemicals but I did try it on city tap water that had a heavy chlorine taste. After using the filter, the water tasted much better. No hint of chemical taste. Just remember with this product. If you are hiking, the filter is moving around loosening so pump 4 or 5 times before pumping into your bottle/camel pack. I like this one. My buddies MSR doesn't even come close to the taste I get from the Hiker pro.

I don't know. I like mine. I can smell the chlorine in the water again when it's time to change the filter.

I don't know about ALL of the chlorine being removed, but you can not smell the chlorine anymore. I can also tell the difference in my skin.. It is not as dry as it was before I got the filter.

If that question asks whether it removes Chlorine, since the title of the product on Amazon is "GE FXWTC Household Pre-Filtration CHLORINE and Sediment Filters," (emphasis added) I presume it does.

i have no idea. if it takes out the chlorine i am happy. although, there is no way that i know of to prove it.

According to their website they use a filter system that is called Chlorgon instead of carbon. "Chlorgon converts free chlorine and some combined chlorines to a harmless chloride." So I think all it does is converts the chlorine. I did notice that the smell disappears of chlorine so it must work!

It doesn't specifically say that it filters out fluoride, so I'm not absolutely certain. But, according to this http://smile.amazon.com/Does-filter-remove-fluoride-also/forum/FxDLOHR0OD79SZ/Tx31E4Y9ZVCHH3B/1/ref=cm_cd_ql_tlc_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B00006WNMI , it says that "Chloride and fluoride are chemically-similar, and it seems to remove the chloride-compound-taste, so it SHOULD also remove fluoride-compounds." I haven't run any tests or anything, so I can't say for sure. I can say that it produces great tasting water, much better than a PUR or Brita, as far as my experience goes.

Yes on the chlorine, and maybe on the fluoride. They actually say they are not certified for fluoride, but if the tester reads 000 then it has removed the fluoride as well.I have to say this is the best filter we have ever used and when I first bought the pitcher, we lived in a city with really nasty and heavily chlorinated water. Even my dog would get diarrhea when he drank the city water. After filtering with this system it was clear and tasteless! And mine always last way more than 2 weeks!!

Yes indeed! as the hard minerals are out of solution the bitter taste is gone, water tastes sweeter. Order with confidence from Small Wonder USA, 1 ye money back, free tech support and gift with order.

Yes, it will. The problems with chlorinated water are proportional to the amount of time that you let the chlorine build up on your hair and skin. Use SwimSpray towards the end of your shower for the best results. That will ensure that you wash away the chlorine and minimize the time for it to build up again. I hope this helps. If you need more information, please let us know.

Properly treated pool water is likely as potable as you can find. But if you think the chlorine taste is too strong, just let it sit for awhile especially in the sun, and the chlorine will break down and evaporate. In a survival situation more chlorine is better.

absolutely not! It is fabulous. It actually balances with your chlorine to get rid of other mineral buildups, cuts the chlorine use in almost half. We use 1 of their tablets to every 3 chlorine in our pool and never have any problems anymore. We used to get areas of green algae around the filter and drain before . I highly recommend it.

Pool water would contain way too much chlorine. If you ran it through a filter that is capable of removing chlorine you should be fine.
