Other than clorine, what other imperities does it remove? Floride? etc

It takes away calcium hypochlorite and trihalomethanes. And its own mineral makes the water mineral water.

I am not sure, I can only tell you that it made taste better than water which I used a zero water filter.

I do not recall reading about it removing salt and fluoride, but I am not a hundred percent sure. There is a valve that attaches to the sink female or male head, so you will not have to remove anything to wash your hands. To acquire filtered water, all you do is pull out the pin. Very convenient, not bad looking on my countertop.

No it does not. Fluoride in a rinse like "ACT" can be used after use to reduce sensitivity.

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.

This has nothing in it except volcanic ash. It will remove any chemicals or toxins.

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!!

It does remove fluoride when the filter is fresh, but the longer you use the filter, the more metals will pass through. The water where I live is so bad, I only got two weeks from a filter. That costs too much for me, so we now rent a reverse osmosis system.

To my knowledge, it doesn't. I've yet to find any shower filter that removes fluoride from the shower. A few may claim to but I've sent most of them off for testing and they all fail the fluoride tests.

http://tyentusa.com/tygo.html According to the manufacturer's website noted here, it removes 85% of the fluoride. If you have further questions, e-mail or call the company. They responded quickly to a question I had.

Yes, it removes fluoride from the water. For a complete list of all the chemicals it removes, see: http://www.waterwise.com/productcart/pc/lc_purity.asp

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.

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 packaging doesn't list calcium as something that it removes and I haven't done any testing of the water to see. Sorry!

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

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

According to their website, they do filter out mercury, chromium, etc. While there is no testing protocol for pharmaceutical filtration, the activated carbon in the filter system is designed to filter organic compounds which many pharmaceuticals have, so probably does help, but no guarantee. It will take out fluoride, but if your water is heavily fluoridated, the filter will be used up quickly. The website suggets replacing the filter at .02-.04 for flouride removal. Only reverse osmosis systems handle fluoride completely. But, reverse osmosis takes out all minerals, even the ones your body needs. Have your water tested for fluoride content. It might not be as high as you think? I also let my water stand over night, so some of the chemicals that will evaporate, can do so before I pour it into the filter system. This helps my filters last longer. It is also helpful if you run your tap for a bit before you fill up. Many impurities sort of rise to the top of pipe as it sits. You will have cleaner water if you run it a bit. I imagine this is one reason a few people say their filters go bad so fast. I've never had this experience.

The filter that comes with it takes out fluoride. You don't need to buy anything else.
