Is this a water filter that can eliminate flouride? I'm new to this concept of a water pen..thanks

No. It raises the pH balance of water to 10-11depending on how long it's left in the water. From my experience pen lasts about 30 days.

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.

The only gravity fed picture water filter that does advertize fluoride removal is Clearly Filtered. That filter removes the heavy metals as good as Zero Water, and in addition also removes >90% of fluoride. I wish Mike Adams of Natural News would test to verify this manufactures claim and I wish Amazon would resell Clearly Filter Water Pictures.

Yes it does both produce pure H2O and filter fluoride, as well as filtering chlorine and other contaminants out of the water. The only possible downside is the water being too soft (low electrical conductivity/minerals), which I add trace minerals to my water after distilling for balance and to re-ionize the water and make it less soft.

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. For more FAQs about filters go to www.zerowater.com.

Scroll down to "product description" (under "product details"). Brief explanation is that is uses bubbles to remove trace particles from the water that regular filters can't fix. I had a severe algae problem in my tank. This got rid of it. I had too many nutrients hanging out in my water

i don't know about flouride. i know chlorine is eliminated. sorry. maybe call amazon at 866-216-1072. i'd call them and then they can look up the specs. may God bless you and have a Happy Holy Holy Christmas.

so i guess the bottom line is you will need another water filter system, such as possibly a reverse osmosis system, to get rid of things like fluoride and chlorine in water.. i agree the description could have been infinitely improved as i'm not sure how shifting electrons in water's molecular structures completely eliminates fluoride and chlorine

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.

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 absolutely does not remove chlorine or fluoride from your water. In order to do that you need a reverse osmosis water system, or go the cheap route like I have for the last 10 years, and get a water distiller. They cost about a 100.00 dollars. Takes 5-6 hours todistill a gallon and mine has lasted 10 years. They're not exactly convienient, but I make drink and use about 2 gallons a week and Brita filteted tap water besides that. For the record I just threw my 80.00 zen water filter in the dumpster 2 nights ago. In addition to not actually altering the pH in any measurable way, it removed very few particulates when compared with my tapeater. Avoid this manufacturer. The technology is useless. My Brita works way better. Again: only R.O. or a distiller will remove fluoride and chlorine. BTW the reason I finally the it out was because the spigot broke irreparably. I would use it simply to store actual filtered/distilled water in it and it looked cool.

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/

I think I agree with Marilyn, at least in terms of the info that's provided on this product page and info that came with my H2gO Portable filter. It does NOT mention fluoride - not for the portable model. Only the larger family size H2gO model says it filters out fluoride. I'd love to learn I'm wrong, and if so see the info updated on this product page and on the packaging of/with the portable H2gO.

Hi Jessica, This Filter does NOT get rid of Fluoride, although it eliminates some, I was also concerned Jessica, but being the internet guru I think I am, could find no simple answer...Also, if you get the Sodastream, thinking that you can bubble the water, at the same time, you take the PH out of the water.Can't win, but I do feel Energized, more Oomph, and Heath-yer.

Its not exactly a filter, but yes, there is a removable metal mesh on the front spout that could be exchanged and/or washed/cleaned. It would not remove small particles, but only bigger parts (calcium deposits from hard water for example).

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.

It requires a special additional filter to remove fluoride. Of course the filter system is going to remove everything else in your processed/packed flavor drink and leave you with just plain water. You would have to ask yourself what is the point of recovering water from store bought juice drinks. There are cheaper and simpler sources of water for purification.

I do not know. We have a well and the water does not have any fluoride that I know of. The directions for the unit does not say whether or not it removes fluoride.
