does the Mavea filter remove the fluoride ?

Anti-fluoride campaigns are based on mass hysteria and scientifically unsound research. A small but vocal movement of anti-fluoridation activists have, since the 1950s, spread unfounded fears among the public about it, with the result that some communities have opted to stop fluoridating their drinking water. Their destructive activities have manufactured a fake "scientific controversy" which ultimately results in a decline in dental health, lost productivity, and increased financial burdens on individuals and the health care systems.CDC lists it as one of the 10 greatest public health achievements: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00056796.htm Anti-fluoride campaigns are based on mass hysteria and scientifically unsound research.

Don't think so, think you need full on de-ionization for that... besides, it's good for me.

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

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

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...!

It doesn't specifically say that it filters out fluoride, so I'm not absolutely certain. But, according to this http://smile.amazon.com/Does-filter-remove-fluoride-also/forum/FxDLOHR0OD79SZ/Tx31E4Y9ZVCHH3B/1/ref=cm_cd_ql_tlc_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B00006WNMI , it says that "Chloride and fluoride are chemically-similar, and it seems to remove the chloride-compound-taste, so it SHOULD also remove fluoride-compounds." I haven't run any tests or anything, so I can't say for sure. I can say that it produces great tasting water, much better than a PUR or Brita, as far as my experience goes.

No, this is purely to raise the pH of the water to alkaline levels. There are other Fluorideremoval filters and these are either whole house or under Counter models.

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.

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

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.

Don, You are looking for a Ph slightly higher than y. The Mavea filters are compressed carbon. The filter out particulates and some disolved gases such as chlorine. I read a book years ago with regard to the physiology of the human body. Among the issues was the alkalinity of the body. It was suggested that cancer cells could not masticize in an alkaline invironment. I believe that an M.D. (Dr. Don Colbert) wrote a book with regard to the benefits of higher Ph water. Well done, I wish you Mozzle-en-gesind! James (Yaacov) Kraemer

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.

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.

No it does not. It is an enzymatic cleaner, so it is much more gentle than 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.

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).

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.

"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. 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.
