which filters can remove fluoride? Activated alumina doesn't work

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.

Hi Kenny: For fluoride reduction we recommend a reverse osmosis system. Thank You, WaterFiltersOnline

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

If you scroll down the product page it mentions what it removes and leaves in. I didn't see Fluoride mentioned. Sorry.

It is reverse osmosis so yes it is the only way to filter out fluorine. But get the ph alkaline filter to put desirable minerals back in.

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

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.

It contains activated alumina which is aluminum oxide, NOT the metal aluminum, but is the same chemical substance as sapphire and rubies. This is like the difference between sodium chloride (table salt) and chlorine gas, a deadly poison. Activated alumina has a lot of surface area against which the water interacts, thereby removing fluoride (and arsenic).

No, it won't! Look for the substances they filter before purchase, and/or call the company to see what works for you! It is good to remove as much fluoride from your life as possible.

Sorry it took so long to get back with you. It is my understanding via website info, that this does NOT filter flouride. Here is the customer service number to make sure. 800-592-8371.

You have to purchase a separate filter for fluoride. Would you like to purchase my Berkey at a lower price? It does not work for me where I live with my well water.

Probably the best way to eliminate fluoride from your household drinking water is to install a reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink. You can still keep your whole house filtration system. If you have a water line to the refrigerator, this can be connected to the reverse osmosis system. You will have to instruct your children to use the water from the kitchen and NOT the bathroom faucets, etc., for drinking purposes.

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.

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.

There are many filters on the market that remove chlorine and other particulates, but the Omica Shower Filter that I purchased is one of the few that claims to remove fluoride, too. That is why I bought it, but I have not had it tested. If I find that it does not remove fluoride, I will not purchase another.

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

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.

See Conic Ellipse's answer for the official word from the company. A chemist (masters degree in organic chemistry) did a study and found (via UV methods) that the Zerowater filter is effective in removing fluoride.
