does it remove floride?

According to the website yes, according to my opinion yes. Our municipality provided water contains dangerous amounts of numerous compounds, both organic and inorganic. After installation, tasting, and testing; I believe our water tastes like it contains fewer contaminates. I will post before and after numbers as soon as they are available from the water testing facility. Our water tastes like it has no chlorine in it. To my understanding you cannot taste fluoride. http://water.epa.gov/scitech/drinkingwater/labcert/statecertification.cfm This website is a good place to start. I am testing both before and after installation to insure the system works as advertised. According to the website yes, according to my opinion yes.

According to the literature with the filter, it does remove fluoride. I have not had any tests run to counter the claim

No, there are other filters they sell for removing fluoride, such as the CQE-WH-11630.

No it does not. I purchased this unit and after a few months of great water I got to thinking about fluoride. After I realized that this wonderful unit doesn't remove fluoride I purchased a system that distills water. Now I've got 100% pure drinking water. However, this is a great unit for what it does do.

I hit the wrong button. I should have said "no." Fluoride is a difficult thing to remove from water, and gravity carbon filter systems may not be the most efficient or effective way to do the job. If you use a gravity water filter system that has carbon in its operation, a more accurate word would be reduce rather than remove. Carbon is generally not the accepted media for fluoride reduction

Here is the answer from Zerowater's FAQ:"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."

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.

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.

The way to reduce the fluoride in your water is to add a Reverse Osmosis System, the whole house filters will not remove the fluoride.

I'm not sure, but when I do boil my water thru it is much cleaner. Then I can see all the fluoride left behind. Even if it does not remove it completely it is much better than before. The Megahome does a pretty good job. I would recommend it.

I found this at their web site: The current line of H2O+ water filtration systems are specifically designed not to remove fluoride. Fluoride is a mineral that promotes dental health and has other beneficial qualities when in small quantities, as found in most municipal water systems. However, we realize that some people still want to remove fluoride from their water and are working on additional models to meet this need. Go to http://brondell.com/water-filter-faq/ for more details. Other than that, it is good for apartments where you cannot drill a hole in the counter top to get a reverse osmosis, or I would have gotten a reverse osmosis.

"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

It removes pollutants from regular water. Also it removes chlorine and some fluoride as well (by carbon fiber filter). Please be well informed.

It requires a special additional filter to remove fluoride. Of course the filter system is going to remove everything else in your processed/packed flavor drink and leave you with just plain water. You would have to ask yourself what is the point of recovering water from store bought juice drinks. There are cheaper and simpler sources of water for purification.

It claimed to remove fluoride with the special filters, which you buy extra. I bought the filters, because removing fluoride was a huge priority for me. The Berkey never removed fluoride, or anything else. In addition to problems with the seals (they're cheap and don't tighten down properly), the filters themselves were faulty. I did water tests, and the Berkey removed nothing, and it left the water tasting more chemically than it does straight from the faucet. I followed all of the instructions to the letter. I'm still angry about it.

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

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 both produce pure H2O and filter fluoride, as well as filtering chlorine and other contaminants out of the water. The only possible downside is the water being too soft (low electrical conductivity/minerals), which I add trace minerals to my water after distilling for balance and to re-ionize the water and make it less soft.
