will this filter out fluoride?

I am pretty sure I know where you are coming from with your question. My answer: fill the bottle from non-municipal sources such as rivers, creeks, and lakes. I am not sure on this one and I have misplaced the insert which tells you specifically what it filters. I just know it will get all protozoa, bacteria, fungi, and viruses for up to 6,000 liters on one filter. I filled it from a local lake and it tastes just like the tap water I filtered.

This bottle comes with an activated carbon filter which removes the chlorine odour from your water (just like Brita does). Here is what their website says:Activated carbon filterLIFESAVER bottle also comes with an activated carbon filter. This is made of high specification activated carbon block which reduces a broad spectrum of chemical residues including pesticides, endocrine disrupting compounds, medical residues and heavy metals such as lead and copper. It also eliminates bad tastes and odours from contaminates such as chlorine and sulphur. It is designed to last approximately 250 Litres.

Thank you for your inquiry. Katadyn's filters are designed for microorganisms such as Giardia, EColi and Cryptosporidium. We do not test for Fluoride at all. Regards, Julie

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

No, it does not! The company is purposefully vague about answering this. I use Berkey and ProPur to remove fluoride. I have since thrown out my ZeroWater.

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

Most dentists would agree that fluoride is beneficial. Scientific studies differ depending on which study is used. If you don't use it and you have fluoride in your water you will be drinking it anyway. There are filters that will filter fluoride out of course. This one is primarily for taste, not for some of the really bad stuff one can get from some water.

The filter is designed specifically to remove carbon based structures so you would need to see if the dental additive that your using is carbon based. If it is then the filter will remove it. Vitamins are carbon based and would be filtered out. If you have any other questions please feel free to call us at 262-376-0768 or email me at tina@pioneerpet.com

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

it will filter out most....unless you have a VERY expensive filter (reverse osmosis),etc... you will not get ALL(100%) of flouride out

It will remove fluoride if you get the 2 white ceramic fluoride filters with it, or you can order them separately from Amazon.com. WELL worth the money.

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. Including fluoride but they won't claim that because of legal reasons. It won't filter out germs though.

No it doesn't. fluoride is hard to remove - needs ion exchange or reverse osmosis. this filter (and most other shower filters including aquasana) remove chlorine.

I have no comparison between different kinds of filters because I have been using only the ceramic ones and since they do an excellent job I'll stick to them. I don't think the ceramic filters remove the fluoride.

Just as the previous answer...Reverse Osmosis is the only reliable way to filter out Fluoride. You can purchase them at most home improvement stores. It. Would have to be mounted under the sink where you drink the water from. I've seen the prices fluxuate from $120.00 - 400's..that's the extent of my knowledge...might be worth a google search too.

"Does BRITA reduce / remove fluoride ?The BRITA Water Filter System does not remove fluoride from tap water. Fluoride is a negatively charged ion and does not react with the components of the BRITA Filter Cartridge."--from:http://www.brita.com.au/customerservice/faqs-jugs_and_cask

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.
