Does it measures for fluoride and arsenic?

Yes but it won't tell you how much of each. It just reads out one number including everything. Might be able to back calculate it if you obtain the city's annual water report

It's a water hardness meter. It tells you how much total 'stuff' is in your 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.

Yes it does. I tried carbon filters, ionizers and many others. I tested this with the local health department, and ALL of the fluoride was removed. This is the ideal unit to remove this toxic chemical.

It will filter fluoride as is... Great unit... I have really enjoyed mine...

I do not know. We have a well and the water does not have any fluoride that I know of. The directions for the unit does not say whether or not it removes fluoride.

No. It only reads SEVEN test factors (Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, Bromine, pH, Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, and Cyanuric Acid)

We have this test meter for our community well. We fluorinate according to the EPA guidelines. It works well when it is calibrated. You have to have the 1% fluoride solution and the tabs to calibrate the meter. We had the meter for about 4 months and the sensor went bad. The company replaced it immediately at no cost but with the wrong part. It took several weeks to replace it with the right part. It was on B/O for some time. Now that we use it daily I can get an idea of the level we need to be at. It's a field test and they are not 100% but close enough for what we need. When our levels were low the meter just gave a Lo code. It am not confident it would give you a zero reading you may be looking for. We have this test meter for our community well.

Yes, it removes fluoride from the water. For a complete list of all the chemicals it removes, see: http://www.waterwise.com/productcart/pc/lc_purity.asp

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.

I checked another site since there weren't any specifications here and it does NOT filter out flouride http://www.fridgefilters.com/ge-fqsvf.html

Yes it can. It states that it can test both urine and saliva to give you the most complete picture of your pH

The Performance Data Sheet doesn't list fluoride. I found this sheet on the Aquasana website. I think there is a customer contact on their website too. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

No its for distilled alcohol only. It measures the amount of alcohol in the water from a distilled batch

Yes. Seems like they all should do that since you are using it to precisely measure ingredients. This one does give you plenty of time to add or subtract.

Yes, both gold and silver but sometimes it detects aluminum and tin as silver. Not a bad detector for beginers.

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.
