So it doesn't remove fluoride?

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.

No it does not. In the fine print, you see it is NSF 42 for water treatment standard. Filters for making flouride-free water are NSF 53/ For more info: http://www.nsf.org/services/by-industry/water-wastewater/residential-water-treatment/residential-drinking-water-treatment-standards/

If I remember correctly, the company info indicates that the filter on this unit removes 65% of the fluoride in water that it filters. I think that information is on their web site at this link (http://www.ecoflowater.com/composite-test-results).

I found this at their web site: The current line of H2O+ water filtration systems are specifically designed not to remove fluoride. Fluoride is a mineral that promotes dental health and has other beneficial qualities when in small quantities, as found in most municipal water systems. However, we realize that some people still want to remove fluoride from their water and are working on additional models to meet this need. Go to http://brondell.com/water-filter-faq/ for more details. Other than that, it is good for apartments where you cannot drill a hole in the counter top to get a reverse osmosis, or I would have gotten a reverse osmosis.

I don't see the mention of fluoride, but I do see that it removes chlorine. In that light, I would have to say, it must remove fluoride. You could try emailing the seller or the company itself. Hope this helps.

No it has multiple stages it goes through that basically removes heavy metals and chlorine, but not flouride.

A charcoal filter will not filter out fluoride. You would have to use reverse osmosis if you want the fluoride out.

You absolutely need to do more research on that -- and I would start by asking Pelican. They do make a filtration system for fluoride removal, but that's a pricier whole-house system. The only other method that I know of for fluoride removal is reverse osmosis, which isn't impossible but looks like a much more sophisticated process than regular filtration.

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.

No suggestions. I know some people don't want the fluoride. I personally, don't mind and have had it in my water since it was introduced. I believe my excellent dental condition was helped because if that. Sorry, I don't know that a filter can eliminate fluoride...

It doesn't specifically say that it filters out fluoride, so I'm not absolutely certain. But, according to this http://smile.amazon.com/Does-filter-remove-fluoride-also/forum/FxDLOHR0OD79SZ/Tx31E4Y9ZVCHH3B/1/ref=cm_cd_ql_tlc_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B00006WNMI , it says that "Chloride and fluoride are chemically-similar, and it seems to remove the chloride-compound-taste, so it SHOULD also remove fluoride-compounds." I haven't run any tests or anything, so I can't say for sure. I can say that it produces great tasting water, much better than a PUR or Brita, as far as my experience goes.

dont believe it removes fluoride but for the chloramine which is associated with chlorine it removes up to 91%

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

The store that I attempted to purchased it at send me a drill bit. It is a great water filter. It is not distilled however it removes around 99% of contaminates. It does not remove fluoride. There is an additional attachment that will remove fluoride. It is one of the best but they also charge a lot for it.

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.

The short answer is yes, it does. I believe topical fluoride is helpful & good. There are people who don't like fluoridated toothpastes, and some manufacturers have responded by offering no fluoride versions. What baffles me is: do people know many city water (tap water) contain added fluoride that we have no choice but to ingest the fluoride, without going through installing a reverse osmosis system which removes good minerals as well? With topical fluoride one could at least rinse most if it off easily.

It doesn't say anywhere if it does or not, but I use a toothpaste with no floride and I floss before I brush so I'm assuming it's ok. I been using this for yrs and this is the only one I like because it's so strong u can pull ur teeth out lol

Here is the answer from Zerowater's FAQ:"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."
