Does distilling the tap water remove flouride?

That is what I have read. I have two distillers now b/c I live in a big a city and the water quality is Horrible... not to mention all the fluoride and chloride in it. I absolutely love our distillers, but I do recommend buying the cleaning solution for them and back up filters. I replace our carbon filters once a month and clean the containers (soak it in the cleaning solution for a few hours & rinse) once a week. Also be sure to buy glass jugs or BPA free plastic containers for your fridge to store. The water taste so refreshing and clean.

I use tap water. It says distilled is better but i haven't had any issues. Been using it weekly since i got it about 5 months ago

Yes, RO removes fluoride... Here is a link to check out:http://www.infobarrel.com/Does_Reverse_Osmosis_Remove_Fluoride_in_your_Drinking_Water

The instructions do not specify to use distilled water. I use cool tap water. Definitely need to clean according to instructions. I am very happy with this humidifier.

No. A mechanical flouride filtering device must be plumbed into the mainline. There is no at the faucet solution for flouride because the pressure demand for a shower is far higher than any current filters can handle. It would be a slow drip torture bath.This filter is designed primarily to filter Chorine and it is very noticeable. The best for my money.

This water tastes like plain distilled water, and I'm using a pretty nasty source of tap water in it and still getting zero water(I use a tester). I think you'll find the taste of this water to be to your liking, but use two charcoal filters instead of one, that's what I do and the water tastes great and no fluoride!

Yes, with distilled or purified water. Remember DMSO grabs stuff and quickly brings it into the body so you don't want to take in any toxins from regular tap water. Dilute at a minimum 50/50. More typical use is at 70%-75% water.

As far as I know, yes. I usually use distilled water in mine. Work's great. Work's even better with the Hornady gun cleaning solution.

It says distilled water is not necessary. However, we have our own well water supply, and there is lime in the water. Therefore, I still choose to use distilled water in my iron. It's a great iron!

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.

Absolutely not! If you are using this product to add to spring water, or tap water that you have determined has NOT had any additional flouride added (there is a trace amount of flouride in most community water sources) and has been boiled for five minutes, then cooled - add the drops you require to the cooled tap water and you are good to "go." (I have brewed water kefir grains for many months using this method, and the grains are healthy and have multiplied well.)

No it does not. I purchased this unit and after a few months of great water I got to thinking about fluoride. After I realized that this wonderful unit doesn't remove fluoride I purchased a system that distills water. Now I've got 100% pure drinking water. However, this is a great unit for what it does do.

All I know is that I don't like the taste of Tacoma's water straight from the tap, and I do believe that it has flouride. We use this filter for all of our drinking water and it tastes clean and pure, but not flat. I can't way for sure that it filters out flouride, though. Sorry. I can say that it does last a long time. Up to ten months for two people who each drink one to two quarts of water a day, plus lots of coffee and/or tea.

I checked another site since there weren't any specifications here and it does NOT filter out flouride http://www.fridgefilters.com/ge-fqsvf.html

A distiller by definition takes out the H2O only. It is not a filter. It is superior to filters as filters cannot get out everything and leave behind only pure H2O. Yes it takes out the flouride and chlorine and sulfur that the city puts in to it. You should see and smell what is left behind that is taken out of the water. The only thing to consider is purchasing trace minerals to put back into your distilled water. We have been using it for around 7 years. Our kids drink more water because of it. My digestion is better. It is difficult to drink any other kind of water now. This just tastes better. A distiller by definition takes out the H2O only. It is not a filter.

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