What exactly does it filter out? chloride? fluoride? monochloramine? is it just one type of filter? Why is this not included in the specs? Thanks.

I got this to soften our water and filter chlorine. I've been very happy with it so far. I think Allen M. Dean's answer is more complete, and Joseph Culotta's suggestion is good because you should make sure the filter will fit your bathtub faucet.

Hmmmmm.... You know what, PrairieGirl? You may be onto something here. Usually my research is very extensive, but it has been a while since I purchased this Sprite bath filter and I see now from the description that they are using a lot of "buzz" words that really mean nothing. I went to their website just now and they say even less. Originally, this was meant to filter out chlorine, which I did notice a difference in smell, but now I just use my shower filter to fill up the tub. Thanks for the question. It helped to enlighten me! I certainly won't be buying this product anymore. Hmmmmm.... You know what, PrairieGirl? You may be onto something here.

For us it did a great job filtering out chlorine. Our tap water smelled like a pool, and was horrible for our daughter's exima. The sprite bath ball got the chlorine down to manageable levels.

I believe it filters roughly 75% of chorline. It is the same exact filter at their Sprite Shower head, which I also have. The filter is sold at Lowes, so I would suggest either going to Lowes to look at the filter or going to Sprite's website to view the specs. I have had it for 3 months and pleased with the results.

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

You will probably want to inquire from the manufacture if Chloramine is filtered. I had our water chemically tested and that's not something that was found in our water. I installed the filter last April and so far it's performing very well.

Although I don't know, my guess is that it does not. Their description of the product only says that it removes chlorine. However, chloramine is evidently a much more difficult toxin to remove from water, involving multiple and expensive filtration steps. So, my guess is that this particular filter probably does not remove chloramine.

No. This manufacturer suggests their Reverse Osmosis system for that, but their data specifically states that Magnesium, Potassium, Chlorides (not Chlorine) and Fluoride are left in the filtered water.

Sorry, I do not know about that system you have mentioned. Call the manufacturer for those indications. BTW: This one does NOT filter out Fluoride!.Also DO NOT TWIST TO TIGHTEN THE BLACK BODY OF THIS FILTER! It will separate the glue and you will lose your filter! I made my own filter system like you see on youtube Get any size stainless steel soup pots (2). Mine are 3gallons each. I used two of these filters , which actually filter very well, and installed them in the bottom of the top pot, drilled another hole in the bottom pot for the spout, (Which you buy here, or that bay place), and there you are! Good luck, but get out the fluoride! Sorry, I do not know about that system you have mentioned. Call the manufacturer for those indications.

No mention of of Chlorine removal on the packaging. This filter is for reducing sediment.

It is reverse osmosis so yes it is the only way to filter out fluorine. But get the ph alkaline filter to put desirable minerals back in.

The pool comes with fresh water sand filter. Chlorine would have to added to keep clean of algae. No salt added to this filter.Or buy an extra saltwater filter that connects to freshwater system that comes with pool. We like that very much! No chlorine needed. Keeps water crystal clear. Saltwater filter converts salt to chlorine. Salt stays in pool. Saltwater filter took about a month to come from place ordered. We had to shock pool until filter got here.

It does remove fluoride although they don't advertise it as such - it's been independently tested here: http://thepeopleschemist.com/best-fluoride-filter-how-to-remove-all-fluoride-and-chlorine-compounds-from-tap-water/

Sorry for taking so long to answer back. When buying this filtration I didn't look into if it filters fluoride. When I bought it I was looking a product that would go with my filter system. Product though I don't know how well or even if it actually filters out fluoride; I will say that it goes with my system well. My water taste better. I didn't damage any of my kitchen electronics yet. So as for filter it's doing pretty well. If this answer doesn't help, which you probably didn't get the answer you were looking for. Try contacting the company themselves and see if they can answer any questions for you. Sorry for taking so long to answer back. When buying this filtration I didn't look into if it filters fluoride.

Who knows? The manufacturer has failed to produce any sort of data about the filter despite years of making claims to produce it. I found vitamin c filters to be very effective at removing chlorine and chloramine and they are far less expensive. Sure there are claims that this filter removes other substances besides chlorine as well, but that is just a baseless claim.

It filters flouride bromine chlorine and lots of other stuff. The packaging has a huge, very detailed list of what it filters and how well. Rest assured this is the BEST gravity fed countertop filter.

One cartridge is made specifically for Fluoride Removal....which is specific, as normally, only RO system handle Fluoride. I am sorry you are not thrilled with my answer, but please understand I only understood that you wanted to know what the difference was in the filters, and this is a 2 cartridge systems which can be eventually mixed and matched as desired, and with a variety of filters for different needs. Thank you, jacques

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

It is an activated carbon block filtration media. It doesn't, according to GE, filter any flouride. Depending on your view of flouride that's either very good or not-so-very good.

Special membranes allow water to chemically bond to them and pass through, leaving behind most impurities. Unfortunately, fluoride is not one and you need an additional ion-exchange filter to get that out. I once lived in the San Juan islands in Washington and all our drinking water came from RO filtering of Puget Sound salt water. If you are going to buy the pictured unit that I did note that the instructions are virtually useless. You need to use JB Weld non-toxic epoxy (for aquatic use) on the thread of the small, RO unit screw in that's in the middle of the sink adapter or the joint will leak even if you use Teflon tape and pipe-thread sealer. You also have to drill a hole in a drain pipe and run a line from the "drain" fitting. Why? Because even if the instructions don't mention it, the drain runs constantly whenever the unit is filtering. (It stops when the storage tank is full.) Also, throw away the first 10 gallons you make, despite what they say. After that the water tastes great. If you aren't mechanically inclined, get a plumber to do the install.

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).
