Does this filter fluoride?

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.
878462
Yes it does, that was one of the main reason I purchased the Zero Water Filter.

That information should be in your paperwork that came with your equipment, if not, call the customer service for the answer.

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.

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

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.

I use it to remove fluoride and chlorine. Some contaminants are particles that are too small for this filter to remove.

Sorry it took so long to get back with you. It is my understanding via website info, that this does NOT filter flouride. Here is the customer service number to make sure. 800-592-8371.

Yes, if you purchase one with filters for fluoride. The unit can fit up to four filters. You can purchase the unit with the basic filter set or basic set plus fluoride filters. We have well water, so I didn't get the fluoride filters. I hear they work well though.

yes, distillation removes fluoride. This system is a tabletop distillation unit.

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

From internet research, it seems only the Multipure Model MP750PlusRO reverse osmosis system filters out fluoride. Solid carbon block systems, in general, do not remove fluoride.

If you are talking about fluoride, no. You will need specialty filters, distillation, or reverse osmosis to remove fluoride from tap 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.

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.

Fluoride? It is my understanding that it does, since one of the steps involves reverse osmosis, but of course, I am not neither a specialist nor the manufacturer. Nevertheless, I am the delighted owner of two Artesian systems and I wholeheartedly recommend them after many years of use. Keep in mind that you only need to change filters once a year! I am not one of these gullible people who spend a fortune on expensive bottled water...

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.

No. I would find out what my water supply level of fluoride is first. I was surprised to learn my municipal supply has very low levels of fluoride, but high lead levels so went with this single filter model.

I haven't personally done tests but from my readings of tests done, yes. But if you are looking to remove fluoride going with the berkey filters will be cheaper in the long run because they use separate attachment fluoride filters.
