does it or does it not filter fluoride out of the water?

Don't know for sure but it gets rid of chlorine and chemicals etc. and purifies the water so would think the fluoride would be eliminated also. We don't need it in our water anyway.

From what I am reading, most water filters do not. You need a special filter called an Activated Alumina Defluoridation Filter. These filters are used in locales where fluorosis is prevalent. They are relatively expensive (lowest price I saw was $30/filter) and require frequent replacement, but do offer an option for home water filtration.

According to their website, they do filter out mercury, chromium, etc. While there is no testing protocol for pharmaceutical filtration, the activated carbon in the filter system is designed to filter organic compounds which many pharmaceuticals have, so probably does help, but no guarantee. It will take out fluoride, but if your water is heavily fluoridated, the filter will be used up quickly. The website suggets replacing the filter at .02-.04 for flouride removal. Only reverse osmosis systems handle fluoride completely. But, reverse osmosis takes out all minerals, even the ones your body needs. Have your water tested for fluoride content. It might not be as high as you think? I also let my water stand over night, so some of the chemicals that will evaporate, can do so before I pour it into the filter system. This helps my filters last longer. It is also helpful if you run your tap for a bit before you fill up. Many impurities sort of rise to the top of pipe as it sits. You will have cleaner water if you run it a bit. I imagine this is one reason a few people say their filters go bad so fast. I've never had this experience.

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.

Unfortunately NO refrigerator water filters filter out fluorine. Not allowed by Big Brother and it would make the water come out very slowly, it's hard to filter out. The best thing to do is buy an RO system and run a line to the refrigerator.

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

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.

No, they make a point of allowing flouride to stay in the water. Believe it or not, flouride is popular. The ADA (dentists) have really sold us all on their product.

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.

It removes pollutants from regular water. Also it removes chlorine and some fluoride as well (by carbon fiber filter). Please be well informed.

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.

From my research I learned it does not filter out the majority of fluoride. But int he shower, fluoride does not enter your body because it does not "steam" like chlorine does. If you boil water containing fluoride, the fluoride does not boil out, it justs concentrates in the liquid remaining. Therefore it does not change it's form from a solid to a gas, or in this case, steam. Chorines on the other hand, does. This filter will eliminate the chlorine and other contaminates. Contact your water department to see if they add chlorimines. Chloraminated vapor from showers, baths, hot tubs, dishwashers, and other household appliances contains volatilized chemicals that can be inhaled and cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Chloramine damages mucous membranes. The lung damage in those exposed to chloramine in indoor pool air is similar to that seen in regular smokers. An increase in asthma due to exposure from chloramine in indoor swimming pool areas was shown in a Belgium study from the Catholic University of Louvain so find out if they are putting this dangerous toxic chemical in your water.

No it does not remove fluoride, you can purchase the B2 fluoride filters as an add-on they screw onto the bottom of the candles. You can also get this system with a candle that does filter fluoride and a wider range of contaminants than these ones do it is the Aquacera CeraMetix filters. Here is a link to it Aquacera LP5 Gravity Water Filter With 2 CeraMetix Fluoride Plus Filters

Yes, it filters chlorine plus a lot of other bad things. If you want the floride to be removed, you need to buy additional filters.

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.

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

According to the website, they seem to have no idea."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."That's why I want one, too. To protect my teeth and precious bodily fluids.

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.
