does this filter fluoride?

When looking into the Doulton site, this is what I found:Fluoride: Most Doulton filters will not remove fluoride. However, optional fluoride filters can be added to those filters. They screw onto the stems of the ceramic filters, and when installed will be hanging below the top chamber. Add on fluoride filters are not needed when the system is used with the CeraMetix all in one ceramic and fluoride filter.

No, but the company now offers a single candle that "does it all," including fluoride. It is called the Cerametix and the OBE version fits this housing unit. I am about to upgrade to that, myself. It is around $70.

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.

yes, distillation removes fluoride. This system is a tabletop distillation unit.

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

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.

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.

From internet research, it seems only the Multipure Model MP750PlusRO reverse osmosis system filters out fluoride. Solid carbon block systems, in general, do not remove fluoride.

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.---http://www.zerowater.com/faqs.aspx

The filter that comes with it takes out fluoride. You don't need to buy anything else.

I have no comparison between different kinds of filters because I have been using only the ceramic ones and since they do an excellent job I'll stick to them. I don't think the ceramic filters remove the fluoride.

Carbon filters do not remove fluoride, that is correct. Reverse osmosis will remove fluoride and special fluoride removing filters will also remove it. We have a 3 stage and a 2 stage big blue system that use fluoride removal activated alumina filters. They remove fluoride from 70-94% depending on your levels and flow rates.

If you buy the extra fluoride filter - at extra cost. Get on the Berkey web site and see the details. http://www.bigberkeywaterfilters.com

It does remove fluoride although they don't advertise it as such - it's been independently tested here: http://thepeopleschemist.com/best-fluoride-filter-how-to-remove-all-fluoride-and-chlorine-compounds-from-tap-water/

"Does BRITA reduce / remove fluoride ?The BRITA Water Filter System does not remove fluoride from tap water. Fluoride is a negatively charged ion and does not react with the components of the BRITA Filter Cartridge."--from:http://www.brita.com.au/customerservice/faqs-jugs_and_cask

The ceramic filters are the only other types of filters that are used for removing fluoride, next to a reverse osmosis system, so, the answer here would be yes. Thank you, - jacques

That's a great question. I don't know if Culligan indicates if it filters out fluoride. But my personal experience using the filter would indicate that it does. Fluoride is added to my water by the water company and I can taste it when I am not using the filter. However, I am not able to taste it when I run my water through the filter. I am pleased with the filter. We have a lot of heavy metals in the water out here and I find that both my guests and I are happy with the taste of the water when it has been run through the filter. I used to have to buy drinking water at Walmart, not now.

I had no idea until you asked, so I just did an online search for the item and came up with this. It says NO, it removes no fluoride. Wish I'd have known this before I bought it. :( http://www.discountfilterstore.com/fm-25-culligan-water-faucet-filter.html
