Does it filter fluoride?

No, the Multipure system does not address fluoride. No carbon block filter will remove fluoride, so we would recommend reverse osmosis.

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.

The ceramic filters are the only other types of filters that are used for removing fluoride, next to a reverse osmosis system, so, the answer here would be yes. Thank you, - jacques

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

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.

You have to purchase a separate filter for fluoride. Would you like to purchase my Berkey at a lower price? It does not work for me where I live with my well water.

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.

According to the website, they seem to have no idea."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."That's why I want one, too. To protect my teeth and precious bodily fluids.

The standard filters (black ones) do not filter fluoride. They sell an additional filter called a "PF-2" filter that catches fluoride and arsenic. They are additional in that the additional filters attach to the lower part of the standard filter and work together at the same time. The Berkey I bought included the additional filters, but of course, at an additional price. I think they're something like $40.

Yes. All reverse osmosis systems filter out fluoride. I have not had it tested but there are other reviewers who have had it tested with amazing results. We are very happy with this product. I installed it myself in less than three hours. Good Luck!

No, it doesn't but I take Iodine (provides great health benefits including prevention of excess fat), which is in my multi-vitamin, it removes fluoride from the body. This is the best way to get rid of fluoride, as all or most tooth paste is laced with fluoride that gets ingested directly through the pores in mouth and it gets into your blood stream within 30 seconds of contact. Why bother filtering fluoride if you brush your teeth three times a day? Take your Iodine in your daily multivitamin or Iodized salt works perfectly.

Yes it does remove fluoride, but they don't advertise it as such - it has been independently tested - check it out; http://thepeopleschemist.com/best-fluoride-filter-how-to-remove-all-fluoride-and-chlorine-compounds-from-tap-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

No, it won't! Look for the substances they filter before purchase, and/or call the company to see what works for you! It is good to remove as much fluoride from your life as possible.

Thanks for the response. I have read about "solid block carbon filters" that remove fluoride, so I will look into that. Thanks again!

I don't see the mention of fluoride, but I do see that it removes chlorine. In that light, I would have to say, it must remove fluoride. You could try emailing the seller or the company itself. Hope this helps.

From what I am reading, most water filters do not. You need a special filter called an Activated Alumina Defluoridation Filter. These filters are used in locales where fluorosis is prevalent. They are relatively expensive (lowest price I saw was $30/filter) and require frequent replacement, but do offer an option for home water filtration.

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.
