Does this item remove fluoride from the water?

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. The big berkeys have a filter that will remove fluoride but this does not. This shower filter also has a warning to not drink whatever water goes through the filter.

No. A mechanical flouride filtering device must be plumbed into the mainline. There is no at the faucet solution for flouride because the pressure demand for a shower is far higher than any current filters can handle. It would be a slow drip torture bath. This filter is designed primarily to filter Chorine and it is very noticeable. The best for my money.

This portable water filter will not filter fluoride! Berkey does offer fluoride filtration filters that can be added to their larger filtration systems.

This machine does not remove Fluoride out of water. Fluoride from the water can be 65-95% removed using Reverse Osmosis systems. We carry most advanced reverse osmosis system Aquaphor DWM101 which removes 99.9% of all contaminants from tap water, including Fluoride. http://www.intelgadgets.com/aquaphor-dwm-101-compact-ro-reverse-osmosis-water-filter-system/

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, not all of it. You need reverse osmosis to remove all the fluoride, however it does remove 15 to 30% of it.If you buy this product, check out their automatic shipment of a filter every 6 months for just $25.00 each. It extends the warranty as long as you are getting shipments and is very convenient and reasonable.

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, 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.

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

The fluoride add ons remove 68% or so on the first pass. If you run it through multiple times it removes 99.9%. Very difficult to get rid of the crap they add to our water. Supposedly for our health.

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

No, it is not filter, you will need other product to remove lead, chloride, fluoride... but this item can erase the bad memory about water.

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.

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.

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.

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

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,

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.
