Does this unit remove fluoride from the water?

About whether reversed osmosis removes fluoride, the answer is not yes or no but how much. Judging from the conductivity of the tap water and the water produced by reversed osmosis, I estimate that my iSpring unit removes about 88% of the fluoride. The reversed osmosis of my cancer research center is industrial grade and removes 97% of the fluoride. A good deionizer unit can bring the fluoride down to zero. However, industrial grade reversed osmosis and deionized water systems have drawbacks for home use. I have been warned by my deionized water serviceman that the high purity water is too aggressive to drink since it can strip minerals from your body. It scares me when a one pound piece of quartz dissolved in my aquarium.

The store that I attempted to purchased it at send me a drill bit. It is a great water filter. It is not distilled however it removes around 99% of contaminates. It does not remove fluoride. There is an additional attachment that will remove fluoride. It is one of the best but they also charge a lot for it.

yes, distillation removes fluoride. This system is a tabletop distillation unit.

I believe the 'standard' filters DO NOT remove fluoride... separate filters are needed.

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...!

I use it to remove fluoride and chlorine. Some contaminants are particles that are too small for this filter to remove.

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,

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.

Carbon filters do not remove fluoride, that is correct. Reverse osmosis will remove fluoride and special fluoride removing filters will also remove it. We have a 3 stage and a 2 stage big blue system that use fluoride removal activated alumina filters. They remove fluoride from 70-94% depending on your levels and flow rates.

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

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.

I researched this also, It does not technically state that it removes fluoride. But it does remove everything like it, so they (the manufacturer) cannot state that it removes fluoride but I have noticed it does, and the manufacturer's website says that it removes certain compounds, most are the same as fluoride.

Yes, RO removes fluoride... Here is a link to check out:http://www.infobarrel.com/Does_Reverse_Osmosis_Remove_Fluoride_in_your_Drinking_Water

Omica claims that it does. However, they have consistently failed to produce water testing reports to prove it. The activated alumina is what is supposed to remove the fluoride. Even if it works then- how much is being removed? From what I understand the removal of fluoride by activated alumina is dependent on the waters Ph level. So the most accurate answer that anyone can give you (including the people that make the filter) without actual pre and post filter water testing, is.... it might remove some, none or all of the flouride. Who really knows?-After reading the other answers it seems that it fails to remove all of the fluoride for sure. Just start taking fulvic acid. Omica claims that it does.

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.

From internet research, it seems only the Multipure Model MP750PlusRO reverse osmosis system filters out fluoride. Solid carbon block systems, in general, do not remove fluoride.

Don't know for sure but it gets rid of chlorine and chemicals etc. and purifies the water so would think the fluoride would be eliminated also. We don't need it in our water anyway.
