Does this produce pure H2O? Does this filter fluoride?
283621
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.

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

No, it does not but it removes chlorine, the chemical they also put in swimming pools. To remove fluoride, one needs a reverse osmosis water system which uses lots and lots of water (forgot ratio but something like 4 quarts to get 1 quart fluoride clear water). Fluoride has few proven benefits (contrary to what they want us to believe) and actually may contribute to thinning bones, etc. so it's a shame it's so hard to get rid of. Hope this helps.

Yes it does remove fluoride, but they don't advertise it as such - it has been independently tested - check it out; http://thepeopleschemist.com/best-fluoride-filter-how-to-remove-all-fluoride-and-chlorine-compounds-from-tap-water/

Hi Kenny: For fluoride reduction we recommend a reverse osmosis system. Thank You, WaterFiltersOnline

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.

The filters on this one do not remove Fluoride, however you can order the fluoride filter and add it on. I got the fluoride filter from cyrstal quest for $50 , added it on and now it removes everything. The system works well. The filters last for 12-18 months depending on use. It is well worth the extra cost for the filter. good luck.

I think I agree with Marilyn, at least in terms of the info that's provided on this product page and info that came with my H2gO Portable filter. It does NOT mention fluoride - not for the portable model. Only the larger family size H2gO model says it filters out fluoride. I'd love to learn I'm wrong, and if so see the info updated on this product page and on the packaging of/with the portable H2gO.

Thank you for your inquiry. Katadyn's filters are designed for microorganisms such as Giardia, EColi and Cryptosporidium. We do not test for Fluoride at all. Regards, Julie

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

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...

No it does not. It is an enzymatic cleaner, so it is much more gentle than fluoride.

Yes on the chlorine, and maybe on the fluoride. They actually say they are not certified for fluoride, but if the tester reads 000 then it has removed the fluoride as well.I have to say this is the best filter we have ever used and when I first bought the pitcher, we lived in a city with really nasty and heavily chlorinated water. Even my dog would get diarrhea when he drank the city water. After filtering with this system it was clear and tasteless! And mine always last way more than 2 weeks!!

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.

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.

Thanks for the response. I have read about "solid block carbon filters" that remove fluoride, so I will look into that. Thanks again!

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.
