Does this filter fluoride?

The website says: "What does the filter actually filter?The Aqua Vessel filter is tested to remove or reduce many common harmful elements that may be found in your tap water and US river water. Its coconut activated carbon removes 99.9% of Giardia and Cryptosporidium - the most commonly found parasites in US lakes and streams, and reduces heavy metals like lead, toxic chemicals like chlorine, sediments, and dirt.

Pretty sure the only way to remove fluoride is through reverse osmosis. The Seychelle filters claim to this...but so far have failed independent testing.

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.

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

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

On their website it says; "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." So basically if the water meter reads zero there would not any measurable amount of fluoride in the water.

no, this is the one I have. look on amazon or the internet for a propur fluoride filter. - john l.

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

I do not know. We have a well and the water does not have any fluoride that I know of. The directions for the unit does not say whether or not it removes fluoride.

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.

I wouldn't know. I sent mine back because the fluoride filters did not fit properly.

No, not all of it. You need reverse osmosis to remove all the fluoride, however it does remove 15 to 30% of it.If you buy this product, check out their automatic shipment of a filter every 6 months for just $25.00 each. It extends the warranty as long as you are getting shipments and is very convenient and reasonable.

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/

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.

I use it to remove fluoride and chlorine. Some contaminants are particles that are too small for this filter to remove.

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.

You have to buy a separate filter for fluoride. The standard charcoal filters remove chlorine, according to the Berkey website.
