Does this emergency water have fluoride in it? Is it filtered?

I dont know the answer to this, but in a true emergency does it really matter? I doubt there's flouride in it though. And yes it is probably filtered or purified in some way prior to packaging. I just appreciate that it lasts for 5 years, wherever you store it.

No. The big berkeys have a filter that will remove fluoride but this does not. This shower filter also has a warning to not drink whatever water goes through the filter.

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.

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

Yes, it removes fluoride from the water. For a complete list of all the chemicals it removes, see: http://www.waterwise.com/productcart/pc/lc_purity.asp

I hit the wrong button. I should have said "no." Fluoride is a difficult thing to remove from water, and gravity carbon filter systems may not be the most efficient or effective way to do the job. If you use a gravity water filter system that has carbon in its operation, a more accurate word would be reduce rather than remove. Carbon is generally not the accepted media for fluoride reduction

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 the real answer to this question but....I always use filtered water. Our water here is full of floride and sodium and something other than tap water just seems to be a good idea.

The short answer is yes, it does. I believe topical fluoride is helpful & good. There are people who don't like fluoridated toothpastes, and some manufacturers have responded by offering no fluoride versions. What baffles me is: do people know many city water (tap water) contain added fluoride that we have no choice but to ingest the fluoride, without going through installing a reverse osmosis system which removes good minerals as well? With topical fluoride one could at least rinse most if it off easily.

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

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.

3M Lab Results shows 0.36 ppm of FLUORIDE remaining in the water filtered through PF-2 "fluoride" filters.Being that fluoride is a HIGHLY toxin poison ANY fluoride is too much for me to ingest, so no they are NOT effective."The fluoride concentration result for the sample you submitted is listed above. This result was obtained using state-of-the-art equipment for accuracy. The method of testing is the fluoride ion selective electrode." (3M)

Yes it does. I tried carbon filters, ionizers and many others. I tested this with the local health department, and ALL of the fluoride was removed. This is the ideal unit to remove this toxic chemical.

I am not qualify to answer that question, I live in the country side of FL and we have well water. My coffee maker calls for filtered water and I used for that.

No it doesn't. fluoride is hard to remove - needs ion exchange or reverse osmosis. this filter (and most other shower filters including aquasana) remove chlorine.

This is a question that really has a yes and no answer. Adding Fluoride to water is a very controversial subject, with educated people on both sides of the issue. Years ago children did not get enough fluoride so cities started adding it to their water to improve dental issues. Nowadays some cities have stopped adding fluoride and Almost all toothpaste has fluoride in it. Here is a medical paper on the issue of fluoridated water: http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/oral-care/procedures/fluoride.htm. A simple answer by laypeople is not sufficient. It is something worth researching to see how it can affect you. Good luck. This is a question that really has a yes and no answer.

chlorine, yes. fluoride, only with the separate elements for such purpose. They're sometimes included when buying online, or just buy separately
