Does it take the Fluoride out of water?

This machine does not remove Fluoride out of water. Fluoride from the water can be 65-95% removed using Reverse Osmosis systems. We carry most advanced reverse osmosis system Aquaphor DWM101 which removes 99.9% of all contaminants from tap water, including Fluoride. http://www.intelgadgets.com/aquaphor-dwm-101-compact-ro-reverse-osmosis-water-filter-system/

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.

Most dentists would agree that fluoride is beneficial. Scientific studies differ depending on which study is used. If you don't use it and you have fluoride in your water you will be drinking it anyway. There are filters that will filter fluoride out of course. This one is primarily for taste, not for some of the really bad stuff one can get from some water.

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.

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

No, there are other filters they sell for removing fluoride, such as the CQE-WH-11630.

It requires a special additional filter to remove fluoride. Of course the filter system is going to remove everything else in your processed/packed flavor drink and leave you with just plain water. You would have to ask yourself what is the point of recovering water from store bought juice drinks. There are cheaper and simpler sources of water for purification.

On their website it says;"Q. Does the ZeroWater filter remove Fluoride?A. ZeroWater filters are not certified for the reduction of fluoride however fluoride is an inorganic compound. The TDS meter is designed to detect inorganic compounds. Fluoride levels in water are usually around 2 to 4 ppm, which will show up on the meter as 002 to 004. So when filtered water reads 000 it is not likely that fluoride is present in water."So basically if the water meter reads zero there would not any measurable amount of fluoride in the water.

Yes it does both produce pure H2O and filter fluoride, as well as filtering chlorine and other contaminants out of the water. The only possible downside is the water being too soft (low electrical conductivity/minerals), which I add trace minerals to my water after distilling for balance and to re-ionize the water and make it less soft.

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

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.

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.

it will filter out most....unless you have a VERY expensive filter (reverse osmosis),etc... you will not get ALL(100%) of flouride out

About whether reversed osmosis removes fluoride, the answer is not yes or no but how much. Judging from the conductivity of the tap water and the water produced by reversed osmosis, I estimate that my iSpring unit removes about 88% of the fluoride. The reversed osmosis of my cancer research center is industrial grade and removes 97% of the fluoride. A good deionizer unit can bring the fluoride down to zero. However, industrial grade reversed osmosis and deionized water systems have drawbacks for home use. I have been warned by my deionized water serviceman that the high purity water is too aggressive to drink since it can strip minerals from your body. It scares me when a one pound piece of quartz dissolved in my aquarium.

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!
