Does it test for fluoride test?

No, there are home tests for fluoride in water, but not in this price range.

looking at the box right now and I do not see flouride listed. So I am going to assume that it does not test for it.

No No Fluoride or Iron. This is a very basic test to see if you need to follow up with a "Lab" text because you think there maybe a problem or you want peace of mind. Our well went dry. It was tested and great, but when we re-dug it was in a different spot and we went much deeper. We did not think we had a problem, but felt for $20 we would make sure.

It will filter fluoride as is... Great unit... I have really enjoyed mine...

No, there are other filters they sell for removing fluoride, such as the CQE-WH-11630.

We have not had it tested but our water is very good and there is a significant difference with the fluoride filters and without. I would suggest the extra price is well worth the cost.

The Performance Data Sheet doesn't list fluoride. I found this sheet on the Aquasana website. I think there is a customer contact on their website too. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

I believe the 'standard' filters DO NOT remove fluoride... separate filters are needed.

I don't think so, but there are some systems on the market that do. Google it. More to the point, have you done any real research on the fluoridated drinking water controversy? I suggest you take an hour or three and do that, then just go with the Everpure system. It's really excellent.

No. This only tests for ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate. You can get a cheap hydrometer here on Amazon. Just do a search for it.

No. Just to be sure I re-read the list of ingredients, it does NOT contain fluoride.

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.

I don't know but on my filter replacement it reads, "It still leaves behind beneficial fluoride".

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)

The standard filters (black ones) do not filter fluoride. They sell an additional filter called a "PF-2" filter that catches fluoride and arsenic. They are additional in that the additional filters attach to the lower part of the standard filter and work together at the same time. The Berkey I bought included the additional filters, but of course, at an additional price. I think they're something like $40.

Yes it does, make sure you don't hold the test button down for more 10 sec.

The package says it doesn't. Plus the test sticks are extremely expensive so I wouldn't use this for that. Hope this helps!

Omica claims that it does. However, they have consistently failed to produce water testing reports to prove it. The activated alumina is what is supposed to remove the fluoride. Even if it works then- how much is being removed? From what I understand the removal of fluoride by activated alumina is dependent on the waters Ph level. So the most accurate answer that anyone can give you (including the people that make the filter) without actual pre and post filter water testing, is.... it might remove some, none or all of the flouride. Who really knows?-After reading the other answers it seems that it fails to remove all of the fluoride for sure. Just start taking fulvic acid. Omica claims that it does.

The FL700 is an all-in-one ion selective electrode (ISE) setup. ISE has been used, and methods are published, for assessing fluoride levels in wine and urine. You can't just dunk the meter in a cup of urine or wine and expect a meaningful reading, but the method should work if you control for dilution, ionic strength and pH.
