does anyone know if it removes fluoride from drinking water here in US?

The filter will not remove salts in the water, so it'd be safe to assume that fluoride also will not be removed. You need a reverse osmosis setup for fluoride removal. I'd like to see an answer from Lifesaver on this just to be sure.

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.

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.

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 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.

We have not had it tested but our water is very good and there is a significant difference with the fluoride filters and without. I would suggest the extra price is well worth the cost.

Yes, the filter takes out fluoride. That's why I bought this in the first place. The only "catch" - if you want to make sure the fluoride is taken out, you'll need to replace the filter more often, about once every 3 months I think. It will produce great-tasting water for quite a bit longer, but you can't be sure that the fluoride is gone after that. I called them up when I first started using this filter and they explained that to me.

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.

Yes on the chlorine, and maybe on the fluoride. They actually say they are not certified for fluoride, but if the tester reads 000 then it has removed the fluoride as well.I have to say this is the best filter we have ever used and when I first bought the pitcher, we lived in a city with really nasty and heavily chlorinated water. Even my dog would get diarrhea when he drank the city water. After filtering with this system it was clear and tasteless! And mine always last way more than 2 weeks!!

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

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.

Miles, I would assume it does as, apparently, it is a naturally occurring substance. To my knowledge the natural fluoride found in green plants does not cause the same side-effects as the high doses placed in some drinking water systems. If this is of concern to you I would suggest contacting Davidsons Tea directly and ask them.

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

I hit the wrong button. I should have said "no." Fluoride is a difficult thing to remove from water, and gravity carbon filter systems may not be the most efficient or effective way to do the job. If you use a gravity water filter system that has carbon in its operation, a more accurate word would be reduce rather than remove. Carbon is generally not the accepted media for fluoride reduction

Zero water is NOT certified for the reduction of fluoride however fluoride is an inorganic compound and the filter DOES remove it. You can see that the TDS meter reads zero after your water is filtered indicating all inorganic compounds have been removed. It DOES remove the fluoride! Hope this helps!

I don't see that anywhere for the black filters that come with it, but there are white filters that say that fluoride is removed.

I cannot tell you to what degree, however I was able to find a ton of information on the Berkey website. Also, keep in mind that it comes with the standard Black Berkey filters and there are additional filters you can purchase (which I did) that filter out fluoride and arsenic. PS - the fluoride in water is not the "good kind" that you want for your teeth.
