Will this model filter out fluoride as is or do I need to buy another filter to add to it? If so, please recommend.

I believe the 'standard' filters DO NOT remove fluoride... separate filters are needed.

It will filter fluoride as is... Great unit... I have really enjoyed mine...

Special membranes allow water to chemically bond to them and pass through, leaving behind most impurities. Unfortunately, fluoride is not one and you need an additional ion-exchange filter to get that out. I once lived in the San Juan islands in Washington and all our drinking water came from RO filtering of Puget Sound salt water. If you are going to buy the pictured unit that I did note that the instructions are virtually useless. You need to use JB Weld non-toxic epoxy (for aquatic use) on the thread of the small, RO unit screw in that's in the middle of the sink adapter or the joint will leak even if you use Teflon tape and pipe-thread sealer. You also have to drill a hole in a drain pipe and run a line from the "drain" fitting. Why? Because even if the instructions don't mention it, the drain runs constantly whenever the unit is filtering. (It stops when the storage tank is full.) Also, throw away the first 10 gallons you make, despite what they say. After that the water tastes great. If you aren't mechanically inclined, get a plumber to do the install.

Sorry for taking so long to answer back. When buying this filtration I didn't look into if it filters fluoride. When I bought it I was looking a product that would go with my filter system. Product though I don't know how well or even if it actually filters out fluoride; I will say that it goes with my system well. My water taste better. I didn't damage any of my kitchen electronics yet. So as for filter it's doing pretty well. If this answer doesn't help, which you probably didn't get the answer you were looking for. Try contacting the company themselves and see if they can answer any questions for you. Sorry for taking so long to answer back. When buying this filtration I didn't look into if it filters fluoride.

It is reverse osmosis so yes it is the only way to filter out fluorine. But get the ph alkaline filter to put desirable minerals back in.

The package I ordered specifically called out the two black filters plus the two fluoride filters - however, when it arrived, the white fluoride filters were not in the shipment. I called Amazon and they sent out a pair of fluoride filters separately. It works great - highly recommended.

Carbon filters do not remove fluoride, that is correct. Reverse osmosis will remove fluoride and special fluoride removing filters will also remove it. We have a 3 stage and a 2 stage big blue system that use fluoride removal activated alumina filters. They remove fluoride from 70-94% depending on your levels and flow rates.

Yes, there is another filter you can purchase for it. I did, and have not had to use it yet.

You might be interested in a Berkey gravity filter set-up instead of this one. This will filter out the fluoride taste from tap water and catch particulates if you have them, but not much else. It did a pretty good job for us for the 15 days we had it installed until it started spraying water underneath the sink.

No, it does not! The company is purposefully vague about answering this. I use Berkey and ProPur to remove fluoride. I have since thrown out my ZeroWater.

I do not know. We have a well and the water does not have any fluoride that I know of. The directions for the unit does not say whether or not it removes fluoride.

No, the Multipure system does not address fluoride. No carbon block filter will remove fluoride, so we would recommend reverse osmosis.

The way to reduce the fluoride in your water is to add a Reverse Osmosis System, the whole house filters will not remove the fluoride.

I cannot tell you to what degree, however I was able to find a ton of information on the Berkey website. Also, keep in mind that it comes with the standard Black Berkey filters and there are additional filters you can purchase (which I did) that filter out fluoride and arsenic. PS - the fluoride in water is not the "good kind" that you want for your teeth.

It should come with two or four charcoal filters which gets rid of the majority of contaminants, although fluoride and chlorine are additional filters which may/or may not be included in your purchase. whatever the case you should be able to set this up in a flash. The charcoal filters look like black tapered cylinders that attach to the top portion of the Berkley system while the other filters fit at the lower half.

Pretty sure the only way to remove fluoride is through reverse osmosis. The Seychelle filters claim to this...but so far have failed independent testing.

Hi Jessica, This Filter does NOT get rid of Fluoride, although it eliminates some, I was also concerned Jessica, but being the internet guru I think I am, could find no simple answer...Also, if you get the Sodastream, thinking that you can bubble the water, at the same time, you take the PH out of the water.Can't win, but I do feel Energized, more Oomph, and Heath-yer.

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!
