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

yes, distillation removes fluoride. This system is a tabletop distillation unit.

I researched this also, It does not technically state that it removes fluoride. But it does remove everything like it, so they (the manufacturer) cannot state that it removes fluoride but I have noticed it does, and the manufacturer's website says that it removes certain compounds, most are the same as fluoride.

The filters on this one do not remove Fluoride, however you can order the fluoride filter and add it on. I got the fluoride filter from cyrstal quest for $50 , added it on and now it removes everything. The system works well. The filters last for 12-18 months depending on use. It is well worth the extra cost for the filter. 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.

It says it supposed to filter chlorine, chloramines and "other synthetic chemicals". Im not positive but I'm pretty sure that is does not filter fluoride, I wish it did.

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'm pretty sure it doesn't. it would have cost more if it did. i saw no reference to floride when i purchased it.

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.

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.

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.

Fluoride? It is my understanding that it does, since one of the steps involves reverse osmosis, but of course, I am not neither a specialist nor the manufacturer. Nevertheless, I am the delighted owner of two Artesian systems and I wholeheartedly recommend them after many years of use. Keep in mind that you only need to change filters once a year! I am not one of these gullible people who spend a fortune on expensive bottled water...

No, it does not. I literally just asked a service expert at Aquasana if it filters out fluoride and his response was, "Sorry, no."

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.

"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

Carbon filters do not remove fluoride, that is correct. Reverse osmosis will remove fluoride and special fluoride removing filters will also remove it. We have a 3 stage and a 2 stage big blue system that use fluoride removal activated alumina filters. They remove fluoride from 70-94% depending on your levels and flow rates.

As far as I know, it does not remove copper. It is primarily for removing chlorine and fluoride.
