Does the filter remove fluorine?

Fluoride can be removed with reverse osmosis, distilling or with activated aluminum. The 10 Stage does not contain activated aluminum, as it tends to dump in high concentrations what it has already filtered. Enviro Products has also chosen not to use activated aluminum due to the link between aluminum and Alzheimer's Disease. Reverse osmosis is the better option, but it, too, has limitations: it takes 2-3 gallons of tap water to make 1 gallon of R.O. water. Also, reverse osmosis removes everything from the water, including good minerals. I hope this helps.

Do you mean floride. It removes chlorine. I don' believe floride is removed. A reverse osmosis filter system does. I don' believe there is a perfect filter system,

No- and there are other filters that are better. I like the ZERO filter better. We have a strong odor in the water(lining in the pipes) and the New Wave doesn't take out that odor. We then pour it into a second(pitcher) filter to get rid of the odor.

I checked another site since there weren't any specifications here and it does NOT filter out flouride http://www.fridgefilters.com/ge-fqsvf.html

Go to the following link and scroll to the bottom of the page. Fluoride is NOT mentioned in the list. However, you can read all about what this 10-stage filter does. I know it is listed as a 3-stage filter, but it is much more. http://crystalquest.com/reverse-osmosis.htm#Portable%20Reverse%20Osmosis. I hope this answers your questions.

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.

Yes. All reverse osmosis systems filter out fluoride. I have not had it tested but there are other reviewers who have had it tested with amazing results. We are very happy with this product. I installed it myself in less than three hours. Good Luck!

If you are talking about fluoride, no. You will need specialty filters, distillation, or reverse osmosis to remove fluoride 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.

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.

But just to be clear. This machine doesn't remove flouride. My whole house filtration system does though.....and I seriously encourage everyone to get the fluoride out...!

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 http://www.amazon.com/Aquacera-Gravity-CeraMetix-Fluoride-Filters/dp/B00BAVCBCI/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A1X3W2JNZWTU48

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.

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

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

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

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.

No it does not. It is an enzymatic cleaner, so it is much more gentle than fluoride.

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