Does this remove chlorine and fluoride from city water?

If you get the floride/arsnic filters, that attach under the regular filters, yes. :)

Definitely the chlorine taste is gone , but their website says you need additional filters to remove fluoride. they attach to the lower side of the top side filters. About $75.See their website.

No. This manufacturer suggests their Reverse Osmosis system for that, but their data specifically states that Magnesium, Potassium, Chlorides (not Chlorine) and Fluoride are left in the filtered water.

I don't know. I only used it to remove chlorine. You would have to ask the manufacturer.

The filter will not remove salts in the water, so it'd be safe to assume that fluoride also will not be removed. You need a reverse osmosis setup for fluoride removal. I'd like to see an answer from Lifesaver on this just to be sure.

It will remove fluoride if you get the 2 white ceramic fluoride filters with it, or you can order them separately from Amazon.com. WELL worth the money.

Here is the answer from Zerowater's FAQ:"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."

You have to buy a separate filter for fluoride. The standard charcoal filters remove chlorine, according to the Berkey website.

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.

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.

My previous response was based on taste. I trust that the filtration process will remove the chlorine and other harmful contaminates.

I don't believe so.... I have a well, not city water, so wasn't really looking for chlorine...

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.

Do you mean floride. It removes chlorine. I don' believe floride is removed. A reverse osmosis filter system does. I don' believe there is a perfect filter system,

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

No, it does not. I literally just asked a service expert at Aquasana if it filters out fluoride and his response was, "Sorry, no."

no, I do not have chlorinated water, so that doesn't matter to me. But I am sure it does to anyone with city water. Only thing you could do is filter prior or use 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.
