does it filter fluoride?

I am not sure, I no longer have the box. You may want to check their web site sorry.

Yes, it filters chlorine plus a lot of other bad things. If you want the floride to be removed, you need to buy additional filters.

The filter that comes with it takes out fluoride. You don't need to buy anything else.

According to the literature with the filter, it does remove fluoride. I have not had any tests run to counter the claim

No, it doesn't but I take Iodine (provides great health benefits including prevention of excess fat), which is in my multi-vitamin, it removes fluoride from the body. This is the best way to get rid of fluoride, as all or most tooth paste is laced with fluoride that gets ingested directly through the pores in mouth and it gets into your blood stream within 30 seconds of contact. Why bother filtering fluoride if you brush your teeth three times a day? Take your Iodine in your daily multivitamin or Iodized salt works perfectly.

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.

Yes, the filter takes out fluoride. That's why I bought this in the first place. The only "catch" - if you want to make sure the fluoride is taken out, you'll need to replace the filter more often, about once every 3 months I think. It will produce great-tasting water for quite a bit longer, but you can't be sure that the fluoride is gone after that. I called them up when I first started using this filter and they explained that to me.

No it does not remove fluoride, you can purchase the B2 fluoride filters as an add-on they screw onto the bottom of the candles. You can also get this system with a candle that does filter fluoride and a wider range of contaminants than these ones do it is the Aquacera CeraMetix filters. Here is a link to it Aquacera LP5 Gravity Water Filter With 2 CeraMetix Fluoride Plus Filters

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.

Probably not, or at least not significantly. The Culligan FM-15RA level 3 filter probably contains mostly activated carbon (charcoal). (That's the black material you see when you first install a new filter.) The activated carbon works really well for some things, but not for fluoride. Check out an article in the Journal of Canadian Dental Association titled, "Neither hollow-fibre membrane filters nor activated-charcoal filters remove fluoride from fluoridated tap water". The results of this scientific study are dated June 2008 and can be found in an abstract on the web. The water was tested for fluoride before and after using activated charcoal filters. There was concern that the filters might remove so much fluoride from tap water that further fluoridation of the water was required. According this study, some fluoride was removed by the filter from tap water, but only in the very early stages of the filter lifetime. In other words, it might work for a short time, but not for long.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately there's not a filter that removes fluoride. Please let us know if you have any questions. Best regards.

The ceramic filters are the only other types of filters that are used for removing fluoride, next to a reverse osmosis system, so, the answer here would be yes. Thank you, - jacques

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.

The standard filters (black ones) do not filter fluoride. They sell an additional filter called a "PF-2" filter that catches fluoride and arsenic. They are additional in that the additional filters attach to the lower part of the standard filter and work together at the same time. The Berkey I bought included the additional filters, but of course, at an additional price. I think they're something like $40.

It does remove fluoride when the filter is fresh, but the longer you use the filter, the more metals will pass through. The water where I live is so bad, I only got two weeks from a filter. That costs too much for me, so we now rent a reverse osmosis system.

I wouldn't know. I sent mine back because the fluoride filters did not fit properly.

"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
